She is a high performance styled Runabout, the perfect day-boat and her layout is very versatile and can be customized quite easily, particularly now with the additional beam and length of this 27foot vessel.
The Caribbean 27 (Open) Runabout offers plenty of space, a wide beam and huge cockpit room to facilitate the customization of her layout. Customizing can make her into the perfect day boat for your family and corporate entertaining pleasure.

Note: Maggie is a C26 Open vessel, not the new C27 Open.
Below are digital photos of one our proudest creations, notice the useable spaces, clean lines and attention to detail on this 2006 Caribbean 26 (Open) Runabout. ‘Maggie’ was customized for her owner in August -September 2006 and handed over to the owner in early October.
The brief from Maggie’s owner was to create a “truly-usable, entertainment vessel” for his teenage family. He didn’t want to fish, but just simply relax in the sun and entertain….He also didn't have time to get involved in the works, he just wanted us to “do it all” for him..
The owner ordered a brand new Caribbean 26 (Open) Runabout from us, and we carried out all of the works for him, overseeing the entire project.
This is totally dependant on what customization you require.
Give us a call to discuss your needs. The beauty of customizing a new vessel directly from the Caribbean factory, is that we can order her in a very basic form to begin with, without her internal fixtures or fittings which will usually be removed anyway. Therefore minimizing the cost, before we begin the process….
