Shore Power VI 48' Cabo 48 Convertible 2007

The Cabo 48 Flybridge offers all the goods for anglers who seek the ideal platform for blue water fishing. The cockpit is huge, and placement of the essentials - bait freezer, bait tank, tackle drawers, and rigging station - is well planned. Huge fish boxes are molded into the cockpit sole and equipped with in-line macerators, full-length piano hinges, and gas struts. Don’t fish? No worries.

The huge cockpit is a great place to launch other water activities or to relax, entertain and enjoy the view.

Entering the salon from the huge cockpit, you can immediately see why Cabo is known for superior fit and finish. The teak cabinetry and fine woodwork, with its carefully matched grain, flows seamlessly throughout the main cabin and forward into the staterooms and heads. Designer fabrics and coverings from the valances and the seating to the spreads and throw pillows are beautifully complimentary of the teak cabinetry. Blinds and lighting are recessed but very functional. On the port side you will find the L-shaped ultra-leather sofa and beautiful birdseye maple and teak-trimmed coffee table. Opposite is the AC/DC distribution panel which is beautifully integrated into Cabo's signature teak cabinetry with its satin finish and integrated grillwork. Forward on the starboard side is the dinette with custom table and seating with storage under. A new built-in 50-inch flat-screen television is positioned forward. The original owner elected the teak-and-holly sole option with removable carpet.

Forward of the salon to port, and opposite the dinette, is a U-shaped galley with Corian countertops in Mojave. There are four Sub-Zero drawer-type refrigerators/freezers below the dividing counter, additional appliances and large amounts of storage including cabinets with pull-out shelves, deep drawers and a huge in floor storage compartment.

Proceeding forward down the companionway, you find the guest stateroom on the starboard side with upper and lower single berths and the laundry center. The amidships master stateroom is on the port side with queen berth, ensuite head with stall shower, entertainment system and custom décor. Continuing forward is the VIP guest stateroom with queen berth and private access to the guest head. The guest head is also accessible from the companionway. 

The flybridge has a custom hardtop and four sided Strataglass enclosure. It has pedestal ladder back helm and companion chairs, with bench seating adjacent to and forward of the helm console. There is pod-style control station with single-lever electronic controls; there are several large displays and a complete line-up of electronics and engine monitoring systems.

The galley has under-counter refrigeration, and the dinette is an arm's length away. There is plenty of storage for long periods offshore.
