Built by Cabo Yachts, the 45 Express offers serious sport-fishing and cruising. Owners and captains alike praise the 45' for its structural integrity, systems, and durability.

With a deep-V modified hull, a wide 15'8" beam and robust build quality, it handles rough water with confidence-giving both offshore capability and smooth rides near to shore.

The layout is well equipped featuring a large cockpit with serious fishing amenities plus comfortable accommodations below making it versatile for both serious fishing and family weekend runs.

FORWARD CABIN & GUEST STATEROOM - The forward cabin features a fore-and-aft queen-size berth, offering generous space on both sides for easy bed-making and convenient access to Cabo's signature rod storage cabinetry, complete with crosshatch ventilation panels. On the port side, the guest stateroom includes two wide berths, a storage locker, and an overhead Lewmar hatch equipped with a screen and blackout shade for added comfort and privacy.

GALLEY & HEAD - The galley and full head with shower are outfitted with Corian countertops, custom sea rails, and Moen fixtures, combining functionality with elegant design.

SALON - Guests will appreciate the extra-large settee on the salon's port side, providing a comfortable space to relax and socialize.

HELM STATION - The helm of the Cabo 45 Express reflects the vessel's generous size, offering ample space for both the pilot and guests to enjoy a comfortable ride. The custom-designed fiberglass console is both functional and stylish, while the ultra-leather upholstery provides a durable yet luxurious touch. Visibility is a priority, with a large three-pane windshield equipped with oversized wipers on each pane to ensure clear sightlines in all conditions. An electrically operated center vent comes standard, enhancing airflow and comfort at the helm.
