2024 Albemarle ALBEMARLE 53 SPENCER

Albemarle Boats and Spencer Sportfish formed a partnership to design and build this semi-custom Carolina boat.  The goal was to build a boat with all of the elements characteristic of the custom Carolina styling and performance, but to do so in a production setting using molds, allowing for faster build times.  The 53 hull is vacuum infused with vinylester resin and composite core, making it our strongest, yet lightest design to date.  The entire boat is loaded with innovative details that will allow our customers to go further and do more. 

The interior features a three stateroom, two head layout with all of the luxuries of home. The full galley contains a cooktop, microwave/convection oven, and twin refrigerator/freezer drawer units.  The spacious salon boasts an “L” shaped sofa, dinette, wet bar, and home theater system.  The interior cabinetry and trim molding is handcrafted from horizontal grain walnut.
