The formidable Jersey 48 Sportfisher! Own a legendary vessel and make fishing or charter history!

It's time to step up to a true Sportfishing Convertible Yacht. This Jersey 48 is impressively updated and available for sale in North Florida!

See the extensive list of updates below!

Cruise the islands, extend your sportfishing adventures, or add this great boat to your charter fleet. The appeal of this yacht offers is boundless luxury, style, and opportunity.

The 48's beamy 15' span makes room for an open salon with updated seating and gorgeous teak and paneled walls. The tinted windows make every day onboard a serene spa-like experience. Take the semi-spiral stairs to the galley below and the convertible dinette. The stateroom is forward with a large double berth and beautiful wood-paneled walls and storage.

This yacht has two heads, each with an electric flush. The waste system is set up with a Y-valve for flexible offshore use. The forward head has a stand-up shower with seating and lots of room.

For fishing, the expansive aft deck provides excellent access to the water. Updated with a fighting chair and non-skid decking, the aft deck is where unforgettable memories are created. This one has teak gunnels with rod holders and a tuna door at the stern. The built-in baitwell, ice, and prep station keep the deck organized when the action begins.

The tuna tower is outfitted with a spotters seat and controls for throttle and shift.

The ship is powered by twin Detroit Diesel 6-71TA engines and Twin Disc drives. She carries 400 gallons of fuel and the Northern Lights 20 KW generator powers the boat while away from the dock. Air conditioning is provided by two air conditioning units and central heating extends the season for the fortunate owners of the yacht.

The GPS units in the photos are not included.
