2004 Composite Yacht 34 Express Sportfisherman

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much thought went into building a true custom-style express on a 34-foot footprint. The wide, clean cockpit gives you room to dance around a hooked fish, with molded boxes that can flex as fish boxes, storage, or ice holds. Up top, the hardtop and enclosure keep the crew dry when the weather turns sloppy, while the helm layout gives the operator clear sightlines all the way to the transom. Below, the joinery and finishes feel more “custom Carolina” than production, with clever stowage for tackle and gear tucked everywhere. It’s the kind of boat you can keep simple for hardcore fishing days, yet still tidy up into a comfortable weekender.

This 34 Express is particularly well suited to these waters, where fast runs to the edge and frequent weather changes are the norm. The sharp entry and solid composite construction help it slice through afternoon chop, keeping the ride dry and predictable. Its size makes it nimble enough to work tight inlets and shoal-studded channels, yet the generous cockpit and elevated helm are ideal for watching baits in a mixed sea. With an enclosed, climate-controlled cabin, overnights at the slip or quick canyon trips stay comfortable, and the shallow draft opens up more options for nearshore structure and reef fishing.
