2026 Albemarle 53 Spencer Edition

Two legendary North Carolina boat brands - Albemarle Boats and Spencer Yachts - announced a partnership that will result in a new semi-custom 53-foot Carolina-style sportfisher, the Albemarle 53 Spencer Edition. The 53 Spencer Edition is the largest boat model in the Albemarle line.

The 53 features a flybridge configuration with classic Spencer styling and a hull engineered for high cruise speeds - with the seakeeping ability that characterizes both Albemarle and Spencer. The interior boast an open Salon layout - The Salon has two L-shaped seating areas with tables and a Galley loaded with appliances and counter space. The Three-Stateroom, Two-Head layout has the Master Stateroom in the bow and two Staterooms to port and starboard.

Topside, an island Helm arrangement, forward facing lounge, and bench seating offers abundant accommodations and excellent visibility from the bridge. For fishing, the 160-square-foot Cockpit is complemented by a transom fish box, transom door, and a mezzanine design with engine room access and molded boxes that can be customized to accommodate a variety of storage and refrigeration.

The hull is vacuum-infused with vinylester resin and foam core. This makes it their strongest, yet lightest design to date. The entire boat is loaded with innovative details and features that sets new standards in the world of sportfishing and allow our customers to go further and do more.

For power, your choice of twin MTU 1,600 hp. turbo-diesel inboards, or this sport fisher can also be ordered with twin CAT 1,000 hp. D12.9 turbo-diesels or twin CAT C18 1,150 hp. twin turbo-diesel inboards.
