1994 Albin Sportfisher

Step aboard and you’ll feel how solid this hull is the moment you leave the dock. The 32-foot footprint gives you that reassuring, big-boat ride while still being easy to handle short-handed. Wide side decks and substantial rails make it comfortable to move forward when you’re setting the anchor or rigging lines. Inside, the warm woodwork and thoughtful storage feel more like a small coastal cruiser than a typical sportfisher, with enough room to tuck away rods, tackle, and provisions for a long weekend. The protected helm keeps you out of the wind on those early gray-light runs, and the boat’s balanced lines turn heads whether you’re easing into a slip or backing down on a fish.

This Albin Sportfisher really shines in local conditions where you see a mix of morning chop, afternoon wind, and long slogs out to the grounds. The semi-displacement hull is efficient at moderate cruise, saving fuel on repeated runs offshore, yet stout enough to keep the ride comfortable when the swell stacks up. The layout works beautifully for live-bait fishing and trolling, with a cockpit that’s easy to work and enough shelter for crew on long days. When the breeze picks up, the dependable diesel and bow thruster make docking in tight marinas far less stressful, even with current pushing on the hull.
