2004 Albemarle 310 Express Fisherman

Step aboard and you’ll see why Albemarle has such a loyal following offshore. The 310’s high bow flare and heavy hull feel planted when the forecast kicks up, while the wide beam gives you a steady platform when you’re working a spread or drifting a wreck. The bridgedeck layout keeps captain and crew in the action, with good sightlines to the cockpit and the horizon. Below, the cabin is surprisingly welcoming, with enough headroom to move around without feeling cramped and smart storage tucked into every corner. Rods, tackle, and dive gear all have dedicated spaces, so the deck stays clean and ready when the bite turns on.

This 310 Express Fisherman really shines in warm, shallow-to-deep transition waters where you might run from calm back bays out to choppy offshore grounds in a single day. The deep-V hull and weight give you confidence when afternoon winds stack up the seas, while the draft is still manageable for navigating channels and nearshore structure. Airy ventilation and a bright cabin make overnights or midday escapes from the sun comfortable, even in peak heat. With a large cockpit, integrated fishboxes, and secure coamings, it’s well suited for trolling pelagics, bottom fishing reefs, or mixing in family sandbar runs between serious trips offshore.
