ââ?¬Å?Aliikaiââ?¬ï¿½ may be the nicest and best kept 30' Albemarle on the market. If you are looking for a practically new express fisherman without the new price tag, here it is. The "Powerboat Guide" describes this boat as a "tournament-level sport fisherman with the kind of drop-dead sex appeal one might associate with a custom-built boat. She's heavily built on a solid fiberglass deep-V hull with plenty of beam and a well-flared bow. (Indeed at 15,500 lbs., the 305 is built like a tank compared with most other 30-foot fishing boats). Albemarle boats have long been known for their superb ride and excellent handling qualities, but the huge cockpit--one of the largest to be found in her size- comes a surprise. This boat offers twin 300 HP CATs., Generator, full electronics, Lee Outriggers, and more. The cabin offers comfortable accommodations which include forward berth, dinette table, enclosed marine electric head, galley with refrigerator, sink and microwave, and more. On the outside however, it is all business. She is a must to see and seriously for sale as the owner has moved up.

Albemarle Express: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Albemarle 360 Express Fish is a well-established model in Albemarle's lineup, having been popular for approximately five years with incremental updates over time. The most significant recent enhancement is the integration of IPS (Inboard Performance System) drives in the latest model 11, which has become a highly sought-after feature. This review focuses on the Albemarle 360 Express equipped with twin IPS 600 drives, providing a comprehensive evaluation of its design, performance, and onboard amenities.
Helm and Exterior Design
The helm station of the Albemarle 360 Express is thoughtfully arranged for ease of operation and comfort. It features dual 12-inch displays, an IPS joystick, single-lever sportfish controls, and a Bubble Pentas Electronic Vessel Control (EVC) readout with a selector positioned conveniently above. Communication and navigation are supported by Garmin VHF and autopilot systems. The stainless steel steering wheel is mounted at an ergonomic 45-degree angle, enhancing operator comfort. Notably, Albemarle retains the Palm Beach controllers, a preferred choice among operators. The cockpit offers 78 square feet of space, including a stern fish door secured by a magnetic catch, avoiding interference with lines due to the absence of cleats on the cap rail. Forward in the cockpit, there is a rigging station equipped with a bait freezer, sink, and an aerated livewell with rounded corners. Access to the helm deck is via two nine-inch steps from the cockpit, where seating arrangements include a portside bench with storage (or optional helm air conditioning) and an aft L-shaped seating area with additional storage. Safety and convenience are addressed with overhead grab handles, powder-coated handrails, and controls for outriggers.
Interior Living Spaces
Below deck, the Albemarle 360 Express features a functional galley located aft. It includes a stainless steel single basin sink, a single-burner electric stove, a microwave, and a refrigerated drawer, with easy access to electrical systems situated behind the helm panel. Opposite the galley is a spacious head compartment with a separate shower stall, providing privacy and comfort. The forward master stateroom is enclosed by privacy doors and contains a berth measuring approximately four feet three inches wide by six feet long. Surrounding the berth are storage shelves, and to starboard, there is dedicated rod storage for six fishing rods. To port, a comfortable ultra-leather settee accompanies a small table, which, while functional, could benefit from being larger or having fold-out leaves to better accommodate dining. The salon area also converts easily into additional sleeping accommodations with a fold-out bunk and an overhead cushion insert for extra berth space.
Power and Performance
Powered by twin IPS 600 drives, the Albemarle 360 Express demonstrates commendable performance characteristics. The test boat, with an estimated weight of 29,670 pounds including fuel, water, and four occupants, achieved a top speed of 32.1 knots at 3,500 RPM while consuming 43 gallons per hour, resulting in a fuel efficiency of approximately 0.75 nautical miles per gallon and a range of 359 nautical miles. The most efficient cruise was recorded at 3,000 RPM and 25.2 knots, burning 29 gallons per hour and extending the range to 419 nautical miles at 0.87 nautical miles per gallon. The turbocharged engines exhibit a slight lag before turbo spool-up, yet acceleration remains brisk with a time to plane of just under 6.2 seconds, 0 to 20 mph in 7.6 seconds, and surpassing 30 mph in 13.4 seconds. Handling is smooth and responsive with no dead spots in the power curve, and the IPS system provides excellent low-speed thrust, allowing an idle speed as low as 4.3 knots. Trolling valves further reduce the minimum speed to approximately 2.5 knots, producing clean, turbulence-free prop wash. During acceleration, a bow rise of about 16 degrees was observed, temporarily obscuring forward visibility for several seconds, warranting caution during rapid throttle increases. The power steering is highly responsive with no feedback, eliminating the need for a steering knob. Maneuverability is enhanced by the dynamic range of motion of the pods, enabling a 360-degree turn in 45 seconds at cruising speed and a return to below planing speed in 23 seconds. The boat handles light chop well, dispersing wake water widely with minimal spray reaching the windshield.
