albemarle 45 carolinian fisharound express
Albemarle Boats, The Carolina Classic is pleased to announce that a new 45 foot Carolinian Fish Around Express is currently under construction, and this new model will debut in early 2025.
According to Albemarle General Manager, Burch Perry, “The debut of the 53 Spencer Edition in October marked our sixth new model in less than seven years. Our ongoing commitment to product development is evident, and our momentum continues. We are tremendously excited about the 45 Carolinian. While her lines give away her heritage, this boat will be unlike anything we have built before in terms of size, power, and layout. She will meet the needs of our existing Express boat customers looking to move up in size, and her Fish Around design will offer them increased fishability.”
The 45 Carolinian hull has the look worthy of her name with Carolina flare, tumblehome, and a soft broken sheer. The hull will be vacuum infused with vinylester resin and foam core, making her incredibly strong, and the deck and additional
fiberglass components will be glassed together in line with Albemarle’s signature one-piece construction. She boasts a unique layout that combines hardcore fishing features, abundant seating, and a surprisingly spacious and well-appointed interior for overnighting and extended cruising. Triple 600 HP Mercury power will provide fast cruising speeds, maneuverability, and shallow draft, while freeing up space in the hull to accommodate mechanical equipment and a truly livable interior.
“This new model will have a custom Carolina look, unsurpassed visibility from the helm with the standard rigid acrylic enclosure, and a truly versatile design,” stated Keith Privott, Albemarle Director of Sales and Product Development. “The hull is designed to slice through head seas, land softly in the troughs, and keep the enclosure dry. Our team has focused on customization for our boat owners in recent years. With this new 45’ design, I look forward to converting our clients’ dreams into extraordinary fishing machines.”
