2001 Topaz Express

Step up from the cockpit and you’ll find a surprisingly roomy helm deck with great sightlines and a solid, confident feel underfoot. The wraparound windshield and sturdy hardtop keep you protected on those lumpy runs to the grounds, while the elevated helm puts you right over the bow for precise positioning on structure or wrecks. Below, there’s a compact but comfortable cabin with a proper berth, galley, and enclosed head, making overnight canyon runs or weekend getaways an easy call. Wide side decks, hefty bow rail, and secure handholds everywhere make moving forward safe when the sea’s up. It’s a serious platform that still keeps the crew comfortable between bites.

This Topaz Express is particularly well-suited for local waters where conditions can shift from flat to sloppy in a single tide change. Its deep, confident hull and weight distribution shine when you’re pushing through afternoon chop or running home against a stiff breeze. The efficient inboard diesels and straight shafts give you the range and reliability to work distant ledges, reefs, and offshore humps without fuel anxiety. At the same time, the manageable length and responsive handling are ideal for slipping into tighter marinas, shallower channels, and busy inlets. It’s a proven offshore-capable boat that still feels at home on everyday runs close to shore.
