Description

It is with absolute great pleasure that I present a truly outstanding, custom yacht HOOK who will please the most discriminating yachtsman. Her eye pleasing lines are enhanced by her new HAZE GREY AWLGRIP paint job making her a formidable presence at the dock, island hopping the Bahamas or beating it out to the Canyons.

HOOK is a 3 Stateroom, fish killing, family cruising machine. Dave Martin designed the EXPRESS sport fish with 6’7” headroom, spacious main saloon, 3 double berths, air conditioned bridge deck, and a real working cockpit. HOOK has all the important fish items, tower, out riggers, rocket launchers, slush ice machine, rod storage, bait well, etc. She even has a custom stainless steel swim platform that combined with the tank storage aboard makes HOOK a perfect dive machine as well. She has just been through an intensive upgrading between April and September 2023 coordinated by not only an experienced yachtsman, also a very high end custom home builder with superior taste.  From her gleaming new Awl Grip paint job, to her completely serviced mechanicals including her 2012 CAT engines, to her highly customized interior, she outshines any of her competitors.  New Air conditioning, new Led lighting, new top of the line custom MARINEMATT decking, new cockpit custom sun shade, new memory foam mattresses and her list of 2023 upgrades goes on extensively. She is READY for a new owner to adventure wide and far in comfort, safety and luxury while chasing the big one or simply gunk holing the waters of the world.

WALK THROUGH

HOOK 

 Walking aboard this spectacular OCEAN 48’ EXPRESS , one is immediately impressed by the very large working cockpit.  She has new custom soft foam decking is not only extremely striking  (MarineMatt) which provides a great surface for working the cockpit. The custom cockpit sun shade protects not only anglers and spectators but also a 35 gallon live bait well, slush ice machine, 2 jumbo in deck fish boxes, bait prep center with sink, large tackle storage compartment, equipment /gear storage garage, and bait freezer.  Her RUPP outriggers were serviced and received new backing plates in the 2023 refit.  She sports in addition to her rocket launcher a set of port and starboard electric Reel outlets.  A truly custom feature of HOOK is her stainless steel swim platform. Very handy thing as there is  custom storge area below deck for 4 dive bottles plus assorted other gear.

Leaving the cockpit and heading up 3 steps  one finds the solid frame custom French door leading onto the fully air conditioned bridge deck (2023). 

The bridge deck has total climate control, full isinglass glass enclosure, new soft foam decking, newly upholstered custom seating, custom sun shades for the hatches and the aft door, dual helm seats and additional rod storage inside the 12' settee which will hold up to 10 rods and reels.

Located on the dash one finds full electronics, engine and boat systems monitoring at one's finger tips. Thoughtful placement of USB ports and electrical outlets are located adjacent to the helm.

 

Proceeding forward and down 4 steps one enters into the spacious main saloon area. The entire interior of HOOK has had a phenomenal upgrade including decking, wall coverings and over head. To port there is a ped new custom sofa with storage and is upholstered in very high end tasteful fabrics.

To starboard HOOK'S electrical panels are easy to access.  No climbing around and searching for the panel if ever needed in the middle of the night.  The panel does have digital voltage and amperage gauges.  Forward of  the electrical panels and storage one finds a new custom lounge chair with matching ottoman again covered in extremely high end durable fabric.

Across from the lounge chair is a wall mounted flat screen TV as well as a cabinet in which one finds a BENDIX washer/dryer that has not been proven and it should not be assumed to be working. 

 All overhead LED lights have been upgraded as well as custom black out deck hatch covers for this area.

Proceeding forward and down  3 steps one is in the midlevel galley which is well lad out and will make any sea going chef a happy camper.

 Proceeding in a forward direct one finds the owners stateroom and the head compartment. The deck hatches in these two areas have also received new custom black out hatch covers,


  • The Master Stateroom aboard HOOK features a full-sized berth with a new memory foam (2023) with under the berth large storage drawers.  Two decent sized hanging lockers with lighting are located to port and starboard. There is an overhead deck hatch that provides nice ambient lights.
