Cabo 40 Express: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Cabo 40 Express is a meticulously crafted fishing yacht designed for serious anglers who demand both performance and comfort. Owned by experienced fisherman Nat Kramer, this vessel combines rugged offshore capability with the amenities necessary for extended trips. Its nearly 43-foot length and 15-foot 9-inch beam provide a spacious platform that balances stability, speed, and seaworthiness, making it well suited for long runs to offshore fishing grounds such as the canyon 70 miles out.
Exterior Design and Cockpit Features
The exterior of the Cabo 40 Express emphasizes durability and functionality, beginning with a robust transom door that grants access to a large, uncluttered cockpit. Attention to detail is evident in the stainless steel hardware and uniformly oriented bolt heads, reflecting high-quality workmanship. The cockpit is lined on three sides with removable bolster cushions for comfortable stand-up fishing. Storage is abundant, including two large insole fish boxes that are guttered, gasketed, and self-draining, as well as a lazarette locker aft center providing direct access to fuel shut-off valves and rudder posts, all clearly labeled. A 48-gallon circulating live well is positioned waist-high along the transom, complemented by multiple rod storage options including in-whale rod lockers and a locker beneath the bridge deck seating. Forward in the cockpit, the fishing console to port features an optional freezer locker with cold plates, a freshwater sink, and a cutting surface, while the starboard side houses an insulated, self-draining beverage locker. The entire bridge deck raises hydraulically on two large rams for full engine access, though the activation button is somewhat inconveniently located in the starboard rod locker.
Bridge Deck and Helm
The helm station of the 40 Express is designed in a Palm Beach style with a centerline position, providing excellent visibility and control. It features single-lever electronic engine controls and classic-style gauges paired with ample space for modern electronics. The windshield is notably tall and rugged, equipped with a vent window that opens electronically for ventilation. The half tower, though requiring some agility to climb, offers expansive views both forward and aft, enhancing fishing operations. Seating on the bridge deck includes an L-shaped lounge accommodating four guests with storage beneath, plus a priority seat atop the starboard console that doubles as tackle storage, a dry locker, and houses an air conditioning vent. The captain enjoys a centerline stidd chair, a feature typically reserved for much larger yachts.
Interior Living Spaces
Below deck, the Cabo 40 Express offers comfortable accommodations with a well-appointed galley located to port. The galley is L-shaped and equipped with modern conveniences such as two under-counter refrigerators and a Panasonic microwave oven. Opposite the galley on the starboard side is an L-shaped ultra-leather lounge that converts into a large double berth via a pull-out mechanism. Forward lies the owner's stateroom, which features a centerline double berth, twin hanging lockers, and a built-in flat-screen television that complements another TV in the main salon, providing entertainment options for extended stays aboard.
Power and Performance
The Cabo 40 Express is a substantial displacement vessel weighing nearly 14 tons, yet it delivers impressive speed and handling. Its transom dead rise of 16.5 degrees creates a broad, relatively flat aft surface that enhances stability both underway and at rest. During sea trials off Montauk Point, New York, the boat achieved a top speed of 36.7 miles per hour, with a comfortable cruise speed of 29.1 miles per hour at 1750 RPM. This efficient cruising speed affords a range of approximately 316 miles from the 600-gallon fuel tank. The boat demonstrated a dry, soft ride in rough conditions and excellent stopping power when backing down on fish, never shipping water during aggressive maneuvers.
Conclusion
The Cabo 40 Express stands out as a high-quality, well-designed fishing yacht that meets the demands of serious offshore anglers. Its combination of solid construction, thoughtful details, spacious and comfortable living areas, and strong performance make it a compelling choice for those seeking a reliable and capable vessel for extended fishing adventures. The boat’s ability to deliver speed, stability, and comfort simultaneously underscores why it is gaining recognition as a flagship model within the Cabo Yachts lineup.
