2002 Cabo 35 Express

Step into the cockpit and you’ll see why the 35 Express earned such a loyal following with serious anglers. The raised helm offers excellent sightlines to the bow and transom, and the wide, uncluttered cockpit makes it easy to work a spread or dance around a hot fish. Deep fish boxes, a proper bait prep station, and thoughtful rod storage keep everything within reach but out of the way. Below, the open layout feels bigger than 35 feet, with generous headroom and a practical, easy‑to-clean finish. Solid hardware, beefy cleats, and substantial rails speak to Cabo’s no‑nonsense build quality, giving you confidence when the seas stack up.

This 35 Express is particularly well suited to waters where you might run offshore in the morning, then tuck into shallower bays or sounds by afternoon. The boat’s size strikes a sweet spot: large enough to handle choppy, confused seas with a secure ride, yet compact enough to maneuver comfortably in tighter marinas and crowded channels. Efficient inboard diesels and a deep, predictable hull make longer runs to offshore structure or canyon grounds practical and comfortable. When the weather turns, the protected helm and sturdy windshield help keep the crew dry, while the open cabin lets you wait out a squall or overnight without feeling confined.
