Hi Darren
The boat looks fantastic and it was well worth the wait for the first Caribbean Open 24.
Well done for making dreams happen.

Why the excitement?
The C24 Open is sought after because she is a classic day boat, with Bertram inspired lines and is truly road-towable, behind the family 4x4 without the need for permits or restrictions, weighing circa 2,750kgs, sitting dry on our preferred, MacKay Road Trailer.
The ever popular and classic design of the Caribbean 26 Open (Runabout) has been simply shrunk down, to create the all new Caribbean 24 Open (Runabout). The standard boat, without trailer, is priced from $88,653 incl gst.
She is available as a nicely configured day-boat including such options as: Port-side face to face dinette comfortable for 4 adults, with under-seat 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.
Alternatively, she may be ordered without the internal optional configuration makes her ready to be customised by our experienced marine trades, turning her into the popular, head turning Peninsula day-boat. She is powered by a single Mercruiser 260hp 5.0L MPI Sterndrive and the electronic fly-by-wire, single lever controls, integrated with Mercruiser's SmartCraft digital user interface - is also an option.
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…
