Cabo Rico Yachts Review

Cabo Rico Yachts, not to be confused with Cabo Yachts, are among the finest custom-built craft in the world. For those seeking a boat that reflects classic traditions of craftsmanship as well as their own personal taste, Cabo Rico Yacht can provide a number of compelling options.

Designers walk clients through desired feature sets and try to match them the closest model among the dozen or so that Cabo Rico Yachts offers. Then modifications are made to the galley, deck, and nearly every other facet of design the owner wishes to personalize.

Pricing

New Cabo Rico boats start above $700,000, with used models available from roughly $100,000 to $475,000.

Pros

• High quality, classic yachts.
• Exceptional, spacious interiors and galleys.
• Well-designed decks with fine pointing and great lengths of sail.
• Great rigs; most can be handled by single pilot.

Cons

• Sail design accessible, but certainly not for beginning boaters.
• High entry price; even higher with necessary customization.

Featured Models

CR 34, CR 38, CR 38 Pilot, CR 40, CR 45, CR 56

The introductory model, the CR 34, features a spacious cabin matched by an equally generous deck that includes extensive storage space under an expansive length of sail. This 35-foot model is large enough to keep any journey comfortable while small enough to be sailed comfortably by a single pilot.

Much larger is the 45-foot CR42, which features two large staterooms and an impressive galley. Its luxury is rivaled only by its exceptional sail design, which allowed the boat to win SAIL Magazine’s prestigious top ten award. The boat was also the only model to earn a perfect score from the publication and the designation “ultimate bluewater boat.”

Yet perhaps more impressive is the CR56, an elongated version of the 42 that features a more classic aesthetic and of course features a greatly expanded interior. Staterooms feature the wood of the owner’s choice, as well as custom-fitted furnishings and beds that redefine the very meaning of comfort.

Conclusion

Those truly dedicated to the joy of sailing simply cannot deny the quality of the Cabo Rico Yachts line-up. The classic, perfectionist design is unique in the modern market of mass produced fishers and speedsters. These exceptional, luxury, competition-ready boats are limited only by the ambition of their owners and are a great choice for those seeking a truly custom yacht.
