2017 Albemarle Albemarle 27

Step aboard and you’ll notice how Albemarle used every inch of this 27-footer wisely. The wide, uncluttered cockpit is built for serious anglers, with deep freeboards that keep you feeling secure when the seas kick up. Below, there’s a surprisingly comfortable berth and compact galley setup, ideal for overnight canyon runs or waiting out a weather window in comfort. The helm is thoughtfully laid out with great sightlines, so you can run on the troll all day without fatigue. Heavy-duty hardware, robust wiring, and smart drainage all reflect Albemarle’s offshore pedigree—this is a boat that feels stout and confidence-inspiring the moment you grab the wheel.

This 27 shines in local waters where conditions can change quickly and runs to the fishing grounds are no joke. The deep-V hull and substantial bow flare are made for slicing through afternoon chop and staying dry on longer offshore pushes. Twin outboards give the range and redundancy you want when you’re working rips, ledges, and offshore humps well away from the inlet. At the same time, the size is perfect for tight harbors and shallow approaches, making it easy to sneak into protected coves after a day on the grounds. It’s a capable, trailerable platform that fits both serious fishing missions and relaxed family cruises in this region.
