2018 Caribbean 27 Runabout

This Caribbean 27 Runabout is the undisputed king of versatile Australian boating. This specific 2018 model is a standout, having been meticulously maintained by just two owners within the same circle of friends since new, with a full service and new risers and manifolds being replaced in June 2025 and being fully polished and detailed and antifouled in October 2025 and currently on a fortnightly wash plan, not only does this beauty bridge the gap between a hardcore offshore fishing boat and a luxury family entertainer, it's also a "turnkey" option for those that want a new boat without the new boat price tag!

This 2018 Caribbean 27 Runabout is equipped with the Mercury DTS (Digital Throttle and Shift), making life on the water remarkably simple. The "fly-by-wire" levers, paired with hydraulic steering, provide precision control both at high speeds and during tricky close-quarter manoeuvres in tight marinas when berthing. Pared not only with the Mercury Vessel-View: 7- inch digital touchscreen that gives you instant, and effortless access to full engine analysis data, also recently installed is the brand new (January 2026) top-of-the-line Simrad EVO 3s 12" touchscreen that provides the latest in high-definition navigation and sonar.
The versatility of this massive, open-plan cockpit is the heart of this boat. Whether you are hosting a sunset cruise, entertaining family and friends, soaking up the sun on the massive day bed or heading 20 miles offshore. All complimented with the secure and lockable, private cabin featuring a bunk infill that creates a massive double berth. And a standard marine pump-out toilet for genuine weekend live-aboard capability.
