AZZURRA is a classic Albin 31 Tournament Express, a model that has long been respected for its efficient single-diesel operation, practical Downeast profile, and rare ability to serve equally well as a serious fishing platform or a comfortable cruising boat. Located in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, she presents as a versatile Northeast-ready express with the enclosed pilothouse, dependable Cummins power, and a thoughtful list of upgrades and equipment that add real usability on the water.
The Albin 31's appeal has always been in its balance. Her cockpit is functional and straightforward, with a transom door, rod holders, in-deck storage, washdown, and wide side decks that make her easy to handle around the dock or while working lines and gear underway. At the helm, AZZURRA benefits from a solid electronics package including a Garmin 1242xsv touchscreen, Garmin Fantom 24 radar, Airmar transducer, VHF, and electronic compass, giving her the kind of navigation capability buyers want for coastal cruising, fishing, and shoulder-season runs in variable New England conditions.
Below, the layout is unusually accommodating for a boat of this size. The interior sleeps four with an aft double berth and a convertible forward dinette, while the separate shower stall in the head makes extended weekends aboard far more comfortable than many competing express boats in this range. The galley is well outfitted for real use, and features like air conditioning, a Northern Lights 5kW generator, inverter, dual refrigerators, hot water, and solar panels make AZZURRA feel like a genuinely capable cruising package rather than just a dayboat with a cabin.
Notable updates and features include a Side-Power bow thruster installed in 2021, a new freshwater pump in 2021, new starting batteries in 2022, a new Cummins aftercooler, rebuilt and adjusted injector pump unit, new fuel level sensor, new cockpit locker latches, and a new boarding ladder and hand rail. For the buyer looking for a proven Downeast design with efficient diesel performance, practical accommodations, and the equipment to cruise, fish, and overnight with confidence, AZZURRA is a compelling offering.
