The Caribbean 32 Flybridge Cruiser is a highly regarded cruiser for both a serious offshore fishing vessel, and the ideal family cruiser!
"Merlin" is no exception and this 2008 model offers an extremely smooth ride (synonymous with Caribbeans), luxurious interiors and spacious cockpits, and really are hard to fault. This 2008 vessel is an excellent example of the design, being the latest model hull shape. She has been meticulously maintained by experienced owners.
The vessel has benefited from many significant upgrades during this time including:
- COMPLETE PROFESSIONAL REWIRE IN 2017 WITH NEW 240V SWITCHBOARD AND ISOLATORS
- NEW GARMIN TOUCH SCREEN CHART PLOTTER AND SIMRAD AUTOPILOT
- NEW 2020 VHF RADIO
- NEW 2020 ELECTRIC TOILET
- NEW STEREO AND FLYBRIDGE SPEAKERS
- NEW BILGE PUMPS AND EXTENSIVE SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Stepping inside, the light and airy saloon has a timber dinette to port, with seating for 6 in comfort. The galley is adjacent and features an upright fridge, 2 burner metho stove, microwave, and Corian bench tops. An easy step down leads to the well appointed accommodation. This layout would be the envy of many larger vessels, and boasts a true double with excellent storage in the forepeak. To port is a second private cabin with two single bunks, and an additional single is available in the saloon when required. The "Merlin" is complete with bathroom with separate shower bay, vanity, and electric toilet with holding tank.
The spacious cockpit is well set up for both fishing and entertaining. This vessel has rod holders, rocket launchers, bait well, bait board, cockpit fridge as well as a H/C cockpit shower! Heading up to the flybridge, the hardtop offers excellent protection, and the full set of clears are in excellent condition, giving uninterrupted panoramic views. The electronics are all modern, and there is excellent engine instrumentation. With the ample seating available this also doubles as an excellent space for crew to relax and enjoy the view while underway.
This vessel is powered by Twin Cummins BT5.9 220HP Diesel engines with approx 850hrs on the clock! They have been very well maintained and provide easy and economical cruising around 22 knots and a max speed of 27 knots. There is also excellent access to the engine room, allowing easy servicing.
"Merlin" presents in excellent condition. These highly sought after boats (Caribbeans) would make the ideal family cruiser or a great game fishing platform, whatever you desire.
This is a very rare opportunity to get a later model Caribbean 32 which is easily handled by two people with the ability to entertain the entire family. Put this one at the top of your list now - Please call Matt on
