What Sets VEEMSportfish Propellers Apart?

The VEEM Sportfish propeller has been designed specifically to meet the demands of modern, high powered sport fishing vessels. Optimized using the latest computational fluid dynamics software, this propeller design has an unbeaten performance record on the tournament circuit. The VEEM Sportfish has demonstrated unrivalled speed, maneuverability, fuel efficiency and smoothness. Blade tip geometry has been optimized to minimize visible vortex signatures, ensuring a clean wake during trolling. Every VEEM Sportfish propeller is offered the ability to customize all aspects of the propeller geometry.

What the VEEM Sportfish Propeller Is

Purpose-built for sport fishing boats: Designed to meet the demanding performance requirements of tournament and high-powered recreational sport fishing vessels. Optimized with CFD: Advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling ensures blade shapes that deliver speed, smoothness, and fuel efficiency.

Tournament-proven

The design has an unbeaten performance record in competitive circuits, indicating strong practical results under real-world, high-load conditions. Clean wake and efficient trolling: Blade tip geometry is engineered to minimize visible vortices, producing a cleaner wake while trolling — useful for fishing and reducing unnecessary turbulence.

Typical Vessel Application

The Sportfish series is ideal for: Large sport fishing boats requiring rapid acceleration to fishing grounds. High-speed turbo or high-HP craft (commonly 30–50+ knots). Boats that demand excellent back-down control for precise maneuvering when landing fish. Applications where a clean wake in troll mode is beneficial for fishing and fuel economy.

Key Characteristics Variable Pitch Distribution

• Pitch changes along the blade for optimized performance across a range of speeds.
• Blade Design: Double ogival/cambered sections with custom skew and rake tailored to the specific vessel and mission.
• Diameter Range: Typically from about 500 mm (20″) up to ~4600 mm (181″) depending on vessel size and application.
• Materials: Often made from high-quality NiBrAl (Nickel Aluminum Bronze) or other premium marine alloys.
• Interceptor™ Technology:
• Like many other VEEM propellers, Sportfish props typically include Interceptor™ technology as standard, letting you tune effective pitch in water without haul-out.

What Makes It Special

• Customized geometry: Every Sportfish propeller is tailored to a vessel’s specific hull, power, gear ratios, and performance objectives.
• Precision CNC machining: VEEM propellers are machined with high accuracy (ISO S-Class or better), resulting in lower vibration and more efficient operation than many conventional designs.
• Tournament performance focus: Designed not just for speed, but also for smoothness, fuel economy, handling, and back-down strength — all crucial in competitive fishing.
