2008 Cabo 45 Express

Southampton, New York

$749,999

Vessel Overview:

LOOKING FOR THAT TURN KEY SPECIAL BOAT THIS IS THE ONE  ...CABO has designed the 45 Express to offer unmatched luxury as an express cruiser, but the big CABO doesn't stop there. The heart of this yacht is still very much that of a dedicated sport fisher. The 45 Express comes standard with every fishing amenity even the most demanding angler could want. The 15'8" beam offers almost 100 square feet of fish fighting room. As with all of the CABO sport fishers, the 45's foredeck is covered in a diamond pattern nonskid surface that even under the wettest conditions, you'll be able to cast from the pulpit with confidence and security. Tremendous fish boxes are built into the cockpit sole, both to port and starboard, which are equipped with gas shock-controlled hatches and CABO's famous airtight seals. A large in transom bait well easily maintains your bait and/or catch for the day.
