2024 Albemarle 30 Express

The 2024 Albemarle 30 Express is a 30.83-foot fiberglass sportfisher built for serious offshore work. Powered by triple 300 hp Yamaha engines, it delivers the low-end torque for controlled trolling speeds while achieving exceptional fuel economy and what the builder claims is the fastest performance of any Albemarle to date. The hull is engineered to cut through head seas, settle gently in troughs, and keep the cabin dry, with a design that performs reliably in rough conditions.

The helm features modern instrumentation with forward-facing seating for three and visibility enhanced by a standard rigid acrylic enclosure in the Carolina style. Below, the boat accommodates overnight cruising with an A-bunk, galley, and stand-up head. A mezzanine-style seating area sits aft, and the cockpit is outfitted with large in-deck macerated fishboxes, a transom livewell, tackle center, and standard transom door—all standard fishing amenities.

Standard equipment includes an anchor windlass with through-stem roller and polished stainless-steel anchor, plus Seakeeper 2 ready stringer beds. At a cruising speed of 30 knots, the 30 Express balances fishing capability with practical offshore range.
