Delivered in 2004, this 55’ custom Sportfisher was designed with versatility, performance, and comfort in mind. Powered by twin 1,000hp C18 Caterpillar engines, it reaches a top speed of 35 knots and cruises efficiently at 31 knots, ideal for serious offshore pursuits and quick island runs. A 17’ beam offers a stable platform, with 800 gallons of fuel and an 18kW generator supporting extended days on the water.

The interior features two staterooms, two heads, and a dedicated rod locker, all finished in classic teak with Corian countertops throughout. With 120 gallons of fresh water, it’s well-equipped for comfort at sea without compromising fishability.

Built for action and crafted for comfort, this 55-footer is a proven performer that balances speed, range, and thoughtful interior design.
