Cockpit

CABO has designed the 45 Express to offer unmatched luxury as an express cruiser, but the big CABO doesn't stop there. The heart of this yacht is still very much that of a dedicated sportfisher. The 45 Express comes standard with every fishing amenity even the most demanding angler could want. The 15'8" beam offers almost 100 square feet of fish fighting room. As with all of the CABO sportfishers, the 45's foredeck is covered in a diamond pattern nonskid surface imported from England. Even under the wettest conditions, you'll be able to cast from the pulpit with confidence and security. A large in-transom livewell has a large clear Lucite window that allows you to easily check on the condition and supply of live bait, and your thighs will appreciate the transom's heavily padded leading edge. Tremendous fish boxes are built into the cockpit sole, both to port and starboard, which are equipped with gas shock controlled hatches and CABO's famous airtight seals.
