24 Flybridge Sports Fisherman

Overview

 


The Caribbean 24 Flybridge Sports Fisherman release has been eagerly awaited by the boating community, for being a road towable vessel behind the family 4x4. Each Caribbean model delivers over 45 years of experience behind her timeless lines, solid engineering reliability and blue-water offshore performance. All of which has earned Caribbean, the respected reputation as one of the finest boat manufacturers in the world today. She is proudly built at the famous Caribbean Gardens in the Melbourne suburb of Scoresby, and exported all over the world. Caribbean, the boat the experts buy…

The ever popular and classic design of the Caribbean 26 Sports Fisherman has been simply shrunk down to create the all new Caribbean 24 Flybridge Sports Fisherman. She has the classical, dual-helm stations (Flybridge and Lower), a Port-side face to face dinette comfortable for 4 adults, with underseat insulated ice box. The Starboard-side boasts; helm seating and galley units incorporating Spirit Stove, Pantry Cupboards & Sink. A full-flush marine toilet is located within the spacious V-Berth cabin. This combined with her huge open style cockpit area, mighty fuel efficient single Mercruiser Sterndrive power plant; round-off the standard inclusions. The Caribbean 24 Sports Fisherman is a very versatile and popular, entry level cruiser.

In addition, we offer a single helm station version of this vessel, for those mariners wishing to remove the lower helm-station and command the vessel from the Flybridge only. 

The single helm-station configuration offers approx. $2,500 saving. Please ask our office for configuration details and vessel pricing.

With the increasing availability of ethanol blended fuels, we find it timely to reiterate our caution as listed in our Boat Owner’s Manual regarding its use in boats.

Ethanol blended fuels are NOT suitable for use in FRP and aluminium fuel tanks, NOR are they suitable for the fuel system and the motor/s installed. We would therefore urge you to pass on this very important information to all your customers with petrol powered boats of any brand.
