Where Family, Fishing, Performance, and Luxury Meet
While Phenom’s four pillars are family, fishing, performance, and luxury, safety is paramount in every aspect. One example is the hawse pipe built into the aft gunwale with the cleat down underneath and out of the way. Another is the smart plug for shore power.
“It allows you to plug in the shore power and run a test,” says Gonzalez. “If you get the green light, then you can go ahead and actually activate the shore power. That way you don’t have any safety or electrical shortages or polarity reverse.” Every sound speaker is flush, and the bow handrails are recessed, nothing protrudes to interfere with moving about the deck.
Family Comfort and Fishing Capabilities in Phenom 37

Then there’s the family comfort. Spacious entertainment zones in the bow and cockpit include Ultrafabrics’ Ultraleather, multi-texture upholstery. Console chaise lounge seating in the bow can be complemented with optional permanent bench seating forward with backrests and storage underneath. The chaise lounge hides a 330-quart cooler. Another bow option is the electronically actuated table that lowers flush with the deck, another safety feature.
Triple captain’s chairs are designed to let cool air from the air conditioner flow through the backrests, and for those cold days, the seats are also heated. I can attest to the comfort of the aft-facing mezzanine seating as that’s where I leaned, sat, knelt, and hung on throughout the trip down to Miami. The cooler underneath carried the water and drinks. The transom has a bench seat with backrest that conveniently folds out of the way for more room, especially when fishing.
