Albemarle's New 360 Express Fisherman (XF)
Albemarle Boats, leading manufacturer of high-end offshore fishing boats, introduced its newest model, the 360 Express Fisherman at the Miami International Boat Show and the New England Boat Show in Boston.
Drawing upon the best features of their current model lineup combined with feedback from our customers and dealers, Albemarle designed the 360XF to be rugged enough to take on the toughest seas and still provide the smooth, dry ride.
“ This boat will fill the void between our 320 and our 410 Express Fishermen” states Albemarle VP of Sales Burch Perry, “The 360 surpasses other boats in this size range with its well equipped cabin and long list of standard equipment.”
Built to be a flat-out fishing machine that is nimble enough to be managed by a crew of two, the 360 Express Fisherman is powered by twin 575 HP Caterpillar C-9As. She comes standard with a 9 KW generator and carrys 535 gallons of fuel. Albemarle claims the 360 XF is the largest and most capable boat in its class.
Combine this with sleeping capacity for 5, a separate forward stateroom for privacy, a well equipped galley and a spacious head with separate shower stall and the 360 XF has all the amenities of a 50 footer.
A massive 80 square foot cockpit with livewell, bait-freezer, fresh water sink and rigging station along with a helm deck with twin helm chairs and comfortable seating for 7 makes this the ultimate mid-range fishing platform.
The centerline helm pod with 360-degree visibility and deep gunwales make it perfect for the serious tournament angler or charter captain. The first-class living quarters boast numerous luxury upgrades and a well-appointed galley.
Proven to raise fish and Carolina tough, the 360FX has already established itself as one of the most sought-after sportfishing boats on the water. Albemarle has taken orders for the first 12 hulls and has multiple sea trials set for each day of the Miami International Boat Show.
“We are really anxious and excited about getting these first couple of boats out into the field” states Perry, “we feel like customers and dealers alike will be pleased with what they see!”
