Cabo 36 Express:
Manufacturer Provided Description
A true sport-fishing machine, the Cabo 36 Express represents the same excellent design, engineering, and construction that anglers have come to expect from CABO.
The hull is remarkably balanced to provide a dry, smooth, and fast ride. Proper balance allows the 36 Express to ride high in waves, reduce spray, and move forward effortlessly.
The interior lives up to CABO’s standards in quality, featuring solid-surface countertops, stainless hardware, fine teak cabinetry, ample rod storage, and premium fabrics and materials — everything the discerning sportsman expects from a vessel bearing the CABO name.
Performance
Speed and efficiency are critical attributes to ensure you reach the fishing grounds quickly and maximize time on the water.
With an engine package designed to deliver strong performance and range, the 36 Express offers impressive top speed and maneuverability. Her ability to back down swiftly and pivot nimbly can make the difference when fighting serious offshore game fish.
Equipped with pod drives, she offers enhanced maneuverability and docking control.
Fishability
The spacious cockpit provides ample room for multiple hookups — a feature often lacking in boats this size.
Features include:
- Bait prep center with sink and rigging board
- Deep tackle drawers
- 40-gallon transom bait tank with LED lighting
- Large insulated fish boxes with macerator pump-out
- Rod holders and locking rod storage

Design & Construction
Designed by Michael Peters, the hull is engineered for strength and performance.
CABO utilizes advanced laminating processes with biaxial stitched fabric reinforcement and solid fiberglass bottom construction. The reinforced fiberglass interior module bonds to the hull, creating a monolithic structure designed for offshore durability.
