Cabo Flybridge: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

Overview

The Cabo 38 Flybridge represents the latest iteration in Cabo's lineup, marking the first new Flybridge model introduced in over two years following the earlier release of the 38 Express. Designed with serious anglers in mind, this vessel combines robust fishing capabilities with comfortable accommodations, aiming to meet the needs of those passionate about offshore fishing and extended cruising.

Exterior Design and Fishing Features

The cockpit of the Cabo 38 Flybridge is purpose-built for fishing action, featuring a configurable fighting pit and ample storage options including freezers located on the port side adjacent to the salon and large fish lockers that can also serve as general storage during transit. The center sole locker provides convenient access to critical systems such as fuel shutoffs, bilge strainers, pumps, and through-hulls, enhancing maintenance efficiency. A notable addition is the Peek-A-Boo stern livewell with a double-opening lid integrated into the stern wall, facilitating easy access to live bait. The stairway to the flybridge is designed for ease of use, allowing effortless movement between decks.

Flybridge Layout and Helm Station

The flybridge accommodates the entire crew comfortably with ample seating, making it an inviting space for both underway transit and fishing excursions. The helm station is thoughtfully arranged to maximize space, allowing installation of large 15-inch electronic displays. Adjacent to the helm is a built-in cooler, providing convenient access to refreshments without the need to descend below deck. The flybridge enclosure is engineered with practical features such as seam placement aligned with support bars to prevent leaks and a ventilation system integrated into the glass panels, ensuring airflow even when the enclosure is closed. The captain's chair stands out for its robust construction and ergonomic design, including sufficient clearance behind the seat to facilitate movement and operational tasks.

Engine Room and Mechanical Systems

The engine compartment is fully finished, presenting a clean and organized environment that simplifies upkeep and enhances aesthetics. The vessel is equipped with twin 800 horsepower engines, providing ample power for offshore performance. An integrated dewatering system is installed, allowing the engines to pump out water in the event of flooding or mechanical failure, an important safety feature that underscores the boat's offshore readiness.

Interior Living Spaces

The salon interior reflects Cabo's commitment to quality craftsmanship, featuring finely finished cabinetry and woodwork. The dining table is fixed in height but offers excellent accessibility from all sides. The entertainment area is thoughtfully integrated, with the television framed in matching wood trim to complement the overall design. Window treatments also receive careful finishing touches, contributing to a cohesive and polished interior ambiance.

Private Accommodations

Below deck, the Cabo 38 Flybridge offers two staterooms, including a spacious master suite. The master provides comfortable access to both sides of the bed and ample space for morning routines. However, storage capacity is somewhat limited, particularly in terms of hanging locker space, which may be a consideration for those planning extended trips. Despite this, the accommodations balance comfort and functionality suitable for overnight stays.

Conclusion

The Cabo 38 Flybridge successfully blends fishing utility with comfortable living spaces, making it a compelling choice for anglers seeking a capable offshore vessel with refined accommodations. Its thoughtful design features, robust mechanical systems, and quality finishes position it as a strong contender within its class, likely to attract buyers looking for both performance and comfort in a mid-sized flybridge boat.
