This 1997 45 Cabo Express Yacht "Reel Life" is located in Panama City Beach, Florida and has been meticulously cared for its entire life. The Cabo 45 garnered Boating Magazine's Boat of the Year in 1997. Superb in both design and engineering, and gorgeous to look at. This lightly used Cabo has a blue hull, red boot, and white deck. She is up to date on service with the MAN service completed in March 2020. At the same time, her propellers were tuned and balanced. The current owner has spared no expenses to keep her condition excellent.

Her 800 HP MAN Diesels have only 3500 Hours and Reel Life features a custom hardtop with full windows on the sides, and a stunning blue leather interior with full entertainment system. Originally built to chase bluefin tuna in the unforgiving waters of Nova Scotia, Reel Life is well suited to rig fishing in the gulf as well as deep dropping in the middle grounds. A turn-key express and it shows!

Notable:

• New Northern Lights Generator (December 2020)
• Custom Hardtop
• Maintained with an open checkbook
• All engine services up-to-date
