Caribbean 26 Flybridge Sports Fisherman
The Caribbean 26 Flybridge Sports Fisherman has been described as the ultimate sports fishing rig. These timeless vessels have a well-earned reputation for their robust construction, sea-kindly hulls, and excellence as fishing platforms. Add to that crew comfort which includes a lockable 2-berth forward cabin with a marine toilet, a neat dinette and a compact galley.
The flybridge is sheltered. Both helms are comprehensively equipped with state-of-the-art electronics installed in 2021. The aft deck is clear and roomy and with the high coamings and clutter-free transom (with a swim/boarding platform and berley cage) is a fisher's delight. This vessel is fully equipped with *Reelax outriggers and rod holders, *Pot hauler, *Live bait tank with Hookem Slimmy Tubes, *Bait board and a prep station (which does not impede access to the engine compartment). The electronics array includes... *Chartplotters (multi-function) Garmin GPSMAP8412xsv with displays at each helm, *1 kW CHIRP Sounder, *Transducers - (through hull), *Garmin SS175HW (normal fishing) plus SS175L (Deepwater), *VHF Radio.
The Vessel presents in outstanding condition including the twin 220 hp MPI Mercruiser Engines. In 2024 the engines were substantially overhauled by Formula Marine Tech. This included replacing high and low-pressure fuel pumps, fuel regulators, trim pumps, manifolds and fuel gauges.
The Magic Tilt tri-axle trailer with electric brakes and hull guides (to make easy work of launching and retrieving) and near new tyres is INCLUDED.
*The Vessel is located at Coles Bay on Tasmania's east coast, a comfortable drive from Hobart OR Launceston.
