Why Albemarle...

  For more than a quarter of a century, we have been driven by a passion to produce the world's best offshore fishing boats. Although there are many arguments as to why Albemarle is regarded as one of the most admired boats on the water today, our customers tell us there are four main reasons they will never own any other boat but an Albemarle:

Superior Ride

  Let's face it, the most important factor in your enjoyment and safety on the open sea is the design and construction of the hull, and there is simply no other sportfishing boat in our category that can favorably compare to the durability, strength, ruggedness and especially the ride of an Albemarle.

  Albemarles are built on the foundation of the legendary Carolina hull, with its dramatic deadrise and elegant bow flare and have been evolving through decades of input from top naval architects. We have created a boat that is now legendary for its ability to take on even the most brutal head seas with comfort and confidence, track effortlessly in following or breaking seas and deliver a steady, stable platform.

  But just as important as the smooth, dry ride of an Albemarle, is the incredible lengths we go through to hand-build the strongest and safest hull possible.

  Throughout the long process of design and production, quality control procedures at every level ensure that all materials, components and finishes are of the highest order. Under the watchful eyes of our master craftsmen, each hull is subjected to a series of exacting tests to verify that it meets or exceeds our internal standards for flawlessness and function. Once it has passed all of these standards, a new phase of testing begins. To say that we overbuild our hulls would be an understatement.

Albemarle = Fishability

   Our boats are built by serious fishermen, for serious fishermen. We know what it is like to run 70 miles out to the canyons to chase tuna. We understand what you need when you're backing down on a marlin in the last five minutes of a tournament. We've been out there when the bite is on and the weather turns bad, but you really want to keep fishing. And we have built a boat to do all of this and more. A hull that will let you fish safely on days when other boats are stuck at the dock. Wide open cockpits with plenty of room for you and your crew to work a fish. Spacious cabins that are comfortable and stylish. Plenty of storage, in just the right places. Rod holders where you need them. Gunwales at the right height for gaffing or tagging. Huge fishboxes. Big livewells. Well-designed bait stations. Custom built tuna towers

  Whether trolling off Cabo for striped marlin or running the bays of the New Jersey shore for striped bass, everything about an Albemarle is designed to let you focus on what you bought the boat for…fishing, safety, and fun.

Built to Fish in Comfort and Style

  Standing in the cockpit, it is obvious to any serious angler that Albemarle boats were built to fish. From the ingenious design of the rod storage and tackle stations, to the rocket launchers, fishboxes, livewells, and tuna doors… not a single detail has been overlooked. From a day trip to drop for grouper, to a month in the islands hunting a grander, these boats deliver exactly what you need to put fish in the boat.

  Walk to the helm, and you will appreciate a dash that puts all of your electronics and gauges in easy view for comfortable cruising or so that you can focus your full attention on running the boat when things get a little rough. All the seats, hardware, and components are the finest available in the industry such a Pompanette Chairs and Lee Outriggers. There is also plenty of room for your crew and guests to relax in comfort on a long run out.

  Go below decks and you will be astonished at the quality of the workmanship and obvious attention to detail. All of our cabinetry and trim is handmade on site by highly skilled carpenters, and only from the finest teak and cherry woods available. Every drawer, door and handle is fitted perfectly.

  The custom decorated interiors of our salons and staterooms are stylish and contemporary with a variety of luxury options such as ultra leather sofas. And again, to guarantee the highest quality, all of our upholstery is handmade in our factory specifically for each boat as it is completed.

  In our efficiently designed galleys you will find such standards as Corian® countertops and molded sinks, Subzero® refrigerators, and convection microwaves. For entertaining family and guests you can choose a flat panel TV with DVD and state of the art sound system.

  The number one reason that boaters and fishermen choose to purchase an Albemarle is because we deliver unmatched quality.

• We deliver quality through the use of only the best products and parts available.
• We deliver quality through state of the art construction techniques and unrelenting testing.

  We realize that to own one of our boats is a considerable investment, and that is why we are committed to providing the best value to our customers. Here is just a sampling of the lengths we go to in order to ensure that every Albemarle is of the highest quality possible.
