2005 Mirage Yachts 40 Convertible

Step aboard and the first thing you’ll notice is how solid this hull feels underfoot—classic deep-V DNA with the quieter, tighter feel Mirage is known for. The cockpit is all business, with plenty of space to work a trolling spread and still move freely around the mezzanine. Inside, the layout is surprisingly generous for a 40-footer, with good headroom and smart storage tucked everywhere you look, so longer weekends don’t feel like a compromise. From the bridge, sightlines are excellent both forward and to the cockpit, making docking and backing down on a fish feel intuitive, even short-handed. It’s the kind of boat that feels manageable, yet substantial, every time you leave the dock.

In these waters, conditions can swing from flat calm mornings to a tight afternoon chop, and the Mirage 40 Convertible’s proven running surface handles that shift with confidence. The modest draft helps when you’re easing into shallow slips or working closer to inshore structure, while the beam and displacement give a reassuring ride on longer offshore runs. With her fuel capacity, you can comfortably reach distant fishing grounds and still have reserve for exploring on the way back. The size is a sweet spot here—large enough to be stable and comfortable in open water, yet compact enough to navigate crowded marinas and tighter channels without drama.
