2019 Custom Carolina 32 Open

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the wide beam is put to work. The cockpit feels enormous for a 32, with clean, open space for multiple anglers to dance around the spread without bumping shoulders. The helm is laid out with the kind of simplicity you only get when a custom builder works hand-in-hand with a fisherman—sightlines are excellent standing or seated, and everything falls right to hand. Forward seating is generous without stealing fishability, so family or crew can relax between runs. The wrap of the sheerline and tumblehome at the transom give the boat that classic, photo-worthy profile, but up close you see the practical touches: beefy hardware, substantial coamings, and easy-access service points that make ownership less of a chore.

In these waters, conditions can turn from calm to confused chop in a hurry, and this hull is built for exactly that. The sharp entry and generous flare soften the ride heading out to the grounds, while the broad beam and flatter aft sections give you a steady, predictable platform when you’re anchored, drifting, or slow-trolling along the edge. Shallow approaches to inlets, sandbars, and back-side wrecks are no problem, yet the range lets you comfortably work offshore rips and distant humps. With its open layout and smart rigging, this 32 makes it easy to shift from family cruising to serious fishing without changing boats or compromising comfort.
