This 2012 Mikelson 43 Shortfisher combines legendary Tom Fexas design with Mikelson’s renowned craftsmanship to create one of the most versatile sportfishers in her class.
Equally at home chasing tuna offshore or cruising the islands in comfort, she offers the ideal balance of fishing functionality, cruising luxury, and efficient performance.
Powered by twin Cummins QSB 6.7 480 HP diesels with Zeus pod drives, she delivers excellent economy, easy joystick handling, and impressive maneuverability. With her 600-gallon fuel capacity, wide 15’8” beam, and solid fiberglass hull, she provides the range, stability, and comfort of a much larger yacht.
