Main Description

MAJOR PRICE REDUCTION! BRING ALL OFFERS!

2008 Cabo 45 Express priced well below market value of just $349k! 100% turn-key! Located in Antigua. Bring us an offer!

The owner recently took delivery of his new vessel and does not want to be a two boat owner! LALALAND is as she appears in the photos, always maintained with an open check book. NEW Isinglass enclosure for helm area & cover for tower helm in August 2025! ($8k value) The owner has been VERY meticulous in his maintenance of this vessel since his purchase in 2017. He even flies MAN certified mechanics for any significant maintenance or factory recommended services required on the MAN V10 1100 engines to ensure they are performing perfectly. 

This Cabo 45 Express is a serious sport fishing machine that also blends comfortable accommodation. For optimal efficiency, a Cabo 45 Express with two MAN V10-1100 CRM marine engines, each rated at 1,100 horsepower, operates best at 18-22 knots (1,400-1,600 RPM), consuming 25-35 gallons per hour (gph). This yields 0.7-0.9 nautical miles per gallon, providing a practical range of 500-600 nautical miles with its 800-gallon fuel capacity, depending on load and conditions. At 80% load, fuel consumption rises to 86 gph, allowing about 9.3 hours of operation and a range of roughly 280 nautical miles at 30 knots. At full load, each engine consumes 52.3 gph, resulting in a combined 104.6 gph, with a maximum operating time of 7.6 hours and a range of approximately 262 miles at about 30 knots.

The expansive 100 sq ft cockpit is a fisherman's dream, featuring a bait prep center, 48-gallon transom livewell, fighting chair, and large insulated & macerated fish boxes. One even has a chill plate! The helm deck, enclosed with full isinglass, offers a Stidd captains & mate chairs, L-shapped settee for guests, Furuno electronics including radar and GPS 30,000 BTU A/C that feeds the cabin as well as the helm area for comfort while under way or at anchor. 

Below deck, there is a full galley to starboard with a teak and holly cabin sole featuring a drawer fridge, 4.5cu. ft freezer, recessed two burner range with cover, microwave/convection oven and ample storage. The vessel sleeps four, with a queen v-berth in the forward stateroom, a guest bunk cabin to port.. Forward of the galley is a full head to with shower head and vanity and 6’8” headroom throughout.  

Some of the long list of recent updates include a new bottom job (2024), refurbished navigation systems (2024), all services always completed on engines as per the MAN recommendations and over $13,000 in spare parts included. LALALAND is ready for a serious offshore fishing program and/or leisurely cruises with family and friends. Contact me today for more information, many more photos or to schedule a showing. This is the best deal on the market for a ready-to-fish express sportfish!
