Release Boatworks 36 Express

MANUFACTURERS DESCRIPTION

At Release Boatworks, we don’t water down our boats to hit a price point—we sharpen them. The 36 Express is proof. She’s compact, capable, and built to fight, with a real helm, a real cabin, and real offshore performance. Designed for the fisherman who wants express-style protection without giving up cockpit space or fishability, she’s as functional as she is fierce.
Every 36 Express starts with the same mission: deliver all the muscle and balance of a full-blown tournament boat in a leaner package. The command center is enclosed and elevated, giving you full visibility and weather protection while keeping the cockpit open, clean, and ready for action. This isn’t a cruiser in disguise. It’s a war-ready Sportfish with more roof and more fight.
Under the skin, she’s pure Release — built on the proven Erwin Gerards hull shared with her walkaround sister. Sharp entry, rounded keel, and balanced lift give her the edge in rough seas and a clean, quiet troll when the bite’s on. Below, the cabin is spartan but smart: a dry bunk, compact galley, and honest finishes that hold up under real use. Powered by twin Volvo D6 320-hp diesels, she cruises in the high 20s and tops out in the mid-30s. No drama. No fluff. Just performance that earns respect.
The 36 Express doesn’t need a tower to prove she’s serious. She planes fast, turns tight, and backs down like she means it. She’s the smallest Release with a house — but she’s got more fight than boats twice her size.
