Offshore 4.88M - Half Cabin

Overview

 


 

When we decided to build the CARIBBEAN OFFSHORE we listened to the people most qualified: True fishermen. The result produced the most practical, rugged, stable and driest 16' fishing platform you've ever ridden aboard.

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…
