2005 Albin 31 Tournament Express

Step into the cockpit and you’ll see why the 31 Tournament Express has such a loyal following. The wide, open deck with high coamings feels secure when the sea kicks up, and there’s plenty of room to work lines or set up a couple of chairs for sunset cocktails. The semi-enclosed helm keeps you protected while still feeling connected to the action aft. Inside, the galley is laid out so you can actually cook underway, with smart storage for longer weekends aboard. The classic Albin sheerline and solid fiberglass hull give this boat a purposeful look that hasn’t gone out of style—and won’t.

The 31 Tournament Express really shines in waters where conditions can change quickly, from flat calm mornings to choppy afternoon runs. The efficient hull and twin diesels give you the range to explore distant fishing grounds or quiet anchorages without nursing the fuel gauge. Shallow enough to poke into tighter inlets, yet heavy and stable enough for open-water passages, it’s a versatile platform for this region’s mix of bays, sounds, and offshore runs. The enclosed wheelhouse offers shelter from strong sun, wind, or squalls, making shoulder-season outings just as comfortable as peak summer days.
