Cabo 35 Express Sportfish

Solid fiberglass bottom

Core construction from upper chine to sheer

Generous storage

Used primarily as an extension of a summer home — never fished and always lightly run — NIALA, a 2004 Cabo 35 Express, is an exceptional example of one of the most respected express sportfishing platforms ever built. Known for its superb ride, smart layout, and bulletproof construction, the Cabo 35 delivers the rare combination of offshore capability, family-friendly comfort, and entry-level operating costs. This particular 2004 model benefits from fresh 2021 mechanical refreshes, including twin Caterpillar 3126B 450s with only 92 hours, offering the reliability and performance serious boaters demand. With 400 gallons of fuel, 100 gallons of water, 25-gallon holding tank, and an 8 kW Westerbeke generator, the boat is fully equipped for weekend cruising, extended trips, or offshore runs.

Step aboard into a wide, tournament-ready cockpit outfitted with everything you need for fishing or entertaining — dual in-deck fish boxes, transom livewell, tackle center, washdowns, bait prep area, and a transom door for easy boarding and landing fish. The open layout provides an ideal platform whether you're chasing tuna or relaxing with the family.

Helm Deck:

Up a few steps, the helm area provides excellent visibility and protection from the elements. The starboard helm is equipped with a Garmin 8612, autopilot, VHF, JL Audio sound system, and helm A/C. Companion seating to port and forward bench seating create a highly social and functional underway environment.

Cabin:

Below deck, the Cabo’s fit-and-finish shines with warm teak joinery and a clean, practical layout. The galley to port includes a cooktop, refrigerator, microwave, and ample storage. To starboard, a convertible dinette settee adds additional sleeping capacity. Forward, a generous V-berth provides comfortable overnight accommodations. A private head with VacuFlush toilet, vanity, and shower rounds out the well-appointed interior.

Engine Room:

Accessed via a lift-up helm deck, the engine room reflects Cabo’s legendary attention to detail — clean rigging, labeled wiring, and excellent access to all machinery and systems.

If you're chasing speed, agility, offshore pedigree, and true versatility without stepping into higher-cost premium tiers, this Cabo 35 Express outperforms the competition. It offers the power, layout, and usability that have earned the model its cult following — perfect for anyone seeking a capable cruiser-fisher that’s ready to personalize.
