Cabo Yachts

Cabo Yachts is a world-renowned American brand founded by Henry Mohrschladt in 1991. Established in Adelanto, California, Cabo has been at the forefront of innovation, always looking for ways to enhance its products and stay atop the competition. The yachting industry respects Cabo for its attention to detail, precise electrical work, and dry ride. The 35 Flybridge was Cabo’s first boat launched, and to this day is one of the best sellers. The 45 Express won Boating Magazine's “Boat of the Year Award” and the San Juan International Billfish Tournament twice. Cabo’s latest and largest launch is the 52 Flybridge, a representation of hard work and collaboration with industry experts. Cabo Yachts recently announced that it is no longer building current Cabo models, but will continue to service and support existing customers and be a resource for those in the industry.

Why Choose Cabo Yachts

Purpose-Built for Serious Offshore Fishing

Since its founding in 1991, Cabo Yachts has earned a reputation for building offshore sportfishing boats with a singular focus on performance, reliability, and fishability. Rather than chasing trends or unnecessary luxury features, Cabo built its brand around creating rugged, purpose-driven yachts capable of handling demanding offshore conditions while meeting the needs of serious anglers.

From tournament fishing to offshore cruising, Cabo yachts are designed to perform when conditions become challenging. Their clean layouts, practical deck arrangements, and heavily engineered construction have helped establish Cabo as one of the most respected names in American sportfishing. Even years after production pauses and ownership changes, the brand continues to enjoy a strong following among offshore enthusiasts and experienced captains.

Purpose-Built for Serious Offshore Fishing

Legendary Quality and Reliability

One of the qualities most often associated with Cabo Yachts is their commitment to quality construction. The company developed a loyal owner base by focusing on meticulous engineering, robust fiberglass construction, exceptional systems installation, and highly regarded electrical and mechanical design. This attention to detail helped many Cabo models become benchmarks within the express and flybridge sportfishing categories.

Owners consistently praise Cabo vessels for their dependability offshore and their ability to withstand years of hard use. The brand's reputation for reliability remains one of the primary reasons pre-owned Cabo yachts continue to attract strong interest from buyers seeking a proven offshore platform. For many anglers, a Cabo represents confidence when venturing far from shore.

Legendary Quality and Reliability

Performance Without Compromise

Cabo yachts were engineered specifically for offshore sportfishing performance. Their hull designs provide excellent ride quality, efficiency, and handling characteristics while maintaining the comfort necessary for extended days on the water. Models ranging from express fishermen to flybridge sportfish yachts were developed with the goal of helping owners reach distant fishing grounds safely and comfortably.

At the same time, Cabo successfully blended fishability with owner comfort. Comfortable cabins, quality accommodations, practical storage solutions, and thoughtful layouts allow owners to enjoy family cruising and overnight trips without sacrificing fishing capability. This balance of performance, comfort, and offshore confidence continues to make Cabo one of the most respected names in the sportfishing market.
