The Pacific Bluefin is a classic cold molded convertible/sportfisher built by Amapala Marine on the island of Amapala in Honduras. This particular vessel was purchased in 1998 by her current owners and has been well maintained throughout their stewardship. She has a beautiful interior of solid Honduran rosewood, with joinery that is reminiscent of that found in Far East trawlers - which is not surprising when we learn that John Newton, the man behind Amapala Marine, was also the founder of American Marine and the Grand Banks line.
New Yanmar 250hp diesels were installed approximately 8 years ago, plus new fuel tanks and all peripherals.

To starboard there is a small bar aft, then the dinette, which comfortably seats four. All joinery work, cabinetry and furniture is made of gorgeous solid rosewood. Moving forward, the head compartment is to port, comprising a Mansfield vacuflush head, a wall mounted shower with curtain and washbasin/vanity. Across to starboard is a double pullman style berth with drawers under, and the large v-berth in the bow easily converts from two quite spacious and comfortable berths to one large.
