PAPI CHULO is a standout 1997 Garlington 61 that blends classic sportfishing pedigree with refined, functional upgrades. Purpose-built for serious offshore performance yet finished with timeless craftsmanship, she combines unmistakable Garlington lines and custom character with significant modern mechanical and systems updates.

Repowered with twin 2017 MAN V8 1200 HP diesel engines, PAPI CHULO has been thoughtfully modernized for today's owner, highlighted by a Seakeeper 9 installed in 2024. Her teak cockpit and mezzanine are configured for serious fishing with a fighting chair, Release rocket launcher, large in-deck fish box, electric reel outlets, substantial refrigeration, and cockpit engine controls. Above, the flybridge features a beautifully crafted teak helm pod, dual teak helm chairs, Miya Epoch teaser reels, and Garmin electronics, while a nine-step tower provides an elevated vantage point offshore.

Inside, teak-and-holly flooring and rich woodwork carry the classic custom-sportfish character throughout a spacious salon, full galley, and three-stateroom, two-head layout. Significant service completed throughout 2025 - including complete service of the main engines and generators, bottom soda blasting and paint, engine-room repainting, and refinishing of the toe rail and half-round trim - complements an already substantial equipment package. 

Classic Garlington lines. Thoughtful teak details. Modern stability. PAPI CHULO is built to fish and equipped to travel
