A luxury Bluewater Fishing Yacht with Flybridge poise, tournament-ready gear, and long-range capability—this 58' Convertible Sportfish blends performance, elegance, and offshore confidence.

Transom

At the transom of this Convertible Sportfish Sportfishing Yacht, the recently revarnished teak shines, setting a refined tone for bluewater days. A tuna door streamlines landing big fish, while a dedicated mount holds the included removable dive ladder for quick dips. Lenco trim tabs, underwater lights, and sturdy hawse pipes complete a clean, capable stern built for offshore confidence.

Cockpit

The teak cockpit of this flybridge Sportfishing Yacht is laid out for tournament days and relaxed family time. Updated teak coaming boards carry six gunwale rod holders, with a high‑gloss teak rocket launcher at center featuring eight rod holders, two cup holders, and a drawer. A live well and fish box are built into the transom, with additional in‑deck fish boxes for serious capacity. A Garmin 7615XSV touchscreen MFD and an aft‑facing camera tied into the Garmins keep you in the loop. The Dometic ice chipper produces six hundred pounds per day, and the updated Kenyon cockpit grill sits beside engine room access and a practical tackle center with drawers. Cushioned seating and a Fusion remote stereo add comfort, while fresh and salt‑water washdowns, under‑gunwale gaff storage, and twin fifty‑amp shore power inlets port and starboard round out a bluewater‑ready Convertible Sportfish cockpit.

Bridge deck

The bridge deck is fully air‑conditioned with a four‑sided enclosure and a warm teak sole—an inviting flybridge lounge on this Bluewater Sportfishing Yacht. All soft goods were replaced with UltraLeather (2019). To port, a bench with storage hosts a pop‑up TV; to starboard, U‑shaped seating surrounds an extendable teak table with refreshed varnish. A windshield with vent and wipers keeps visibility clear. The varnished teak helm chair was redone in 2024; upholstery is due. Forward to starboard, a forward‑facing bench hides fridge/freezers below. Fresh varnish accents the salon entrance and cupholders. Overhead, Miya Epoch US‑9 twenty‑four‑volt teaser reels stand ready, with multi‑color recessed lighting and Bose speakers setting the mood.

Helm

A custom high‑gloss teak helm console was built to accommodate larger screens, framing two updated Garmin 8616 MFDs that pair with cameras for the engine room, bow, and cockpit. Furuno TZ Touch handles radar, with a Furuno VHF alongside. A Simrad AP20 autopilot, Fusion stereo, Detroit engine monitors, and trim tab switches keep control simple and precise. A fish finder with an ultrawide transducer (2019) and side scan sharpens the picture, while controls for the Offshore Marine Lab water maker and the ACR spotlight sit within easy reach. It’s a confident, clean command center for a Convertible Sportfish.

Salon

Step down past refreshed varnished teak steps to a salon with a teak‑and‑holly sole and the AC/DC main panel concealed within easy reach. To port, a sofa converts to a berth with an additional pullman above and storage behind. To starboard, a large L‑shaped leather couch uses a filler to become a full berth. A custom‑built teak table with storage anchors the space, set against high‑gloss teak walls and cabinetry. A thirty‑eight‑inch TV (2019), a Devon 5.1 stereo system, and overhead speakers turn evenings at anchor into easy, comfortable moments aboard this flybridge Sportfishing Yacht.

Galley

The galley serves long trips with a Cospolich stainless‑steel refrigerator, stainless‑steel sink, and a four‑burner electric cooktop beneath an L‑shaped Corian countertop dressed in high‑gloss teak finishes. Convenient one‑hundred‑ten‑volt outlets dot the space, and a GE microwave/convection oven at two‑hundred‑twenty volts (2019) speeds meals between bites and bites. Practical, clean, and ready for bluewater life.

Accommodations

Laundry is easy with separate full‑size Bosch washer and dryer. In the guest stateroom, large double bunks, a hanging locker with drawers, a full‑length mirror, and high‑gloss teak make smart use of space. The master stateroom offers a centerline queen berth with storage below, nightstands, a cedar‑lined hanging closet, cabinets, a flat‑screen TV, individual AC/heat control, Whisper Walls, wall‑to‑wall carpet, and high‑gloss teak finishes. The head features a sink and vanity with updated wood veneers, Corian counter and basin, organized drawers and cabinets, and a large separate shower with a seat over a teak‑and‑holly sole. Comfortable, quiet, and ready for extended cruising in a Convertible Sportfish Sportfishing Yacht.

Bow

Up front, teak toe rail and pulpit were revarnished in 2023 for clean, classic looks. A Maxwell windlass with foot controls handles ground tackle, while the foredeck (painted in 2018) and the bridge housing (painted in 2020) keep finishes fresh. In‑deck safety hatches, aluminum grab rails along the side decks, and a forward‑facing camera tied into the Garmins bring security and awareness—true Bluewater details on a flybridge Sportfishing Yacht.

Tower

The PipeWelders tuna tower defines the Convertible Sportfish profile, carrying fourteen cockpit rod holders and Rupp outriggers. Spreader lights—three aft and one forward—light the spread, with air horns, a life raft, an open‑array radar, and KVH TracVision TV6 SAT TV overhead. The second station has updated upholstery, protected by a hard buggy top. Tower electronics include an AP20 autopilot, an updated twelve‑inch Garmin GPS MFD, a VHF radio, trim tab controls, and Detroit engine monitors, giving you a clear advantage chasing pelagics offshore.

Engine room

Below, upgraded three‑inch shafts (2017) spin through matching struts (2017) on twin MTU 12V2000s at one‑thousand‑five‑hundred horsepower each (4,320 hours) with a recent one‑thousand‑hour service complete. A Northern Lights twenty‑four‑kilowatt generator (5,540 hours) supplies the house. Safety and reliability come from a Fireboy suppression system with a one‑hundred‑pound tank (2017), dripless shaft seals, and eight seacocks and thru‑hulls replaced in 2019. Performance support includes a fuel transfer pump (2020), serviced turbos (2019), and recent fuel pump and injectors work totaling over twenty thousand dollars. Rudders, shafts, and props were serviced in 2023, with steering gear and steering coolers redone. Air handlers were rebuilt (2017), and an Iconell exhaust system with mufflers and baffles keeps things quiet. Two oil pan gaskets were replaced (2017), while twenty‑four injectors and bayonets were renewed in 2016 and again in 2023. Primer pumps arrived in 2020, an ultrawide transducer in 2019, and two Dometic thirty‑six‑thousand BTU chillers were installed in 2019 with Dometic remote master HVAC control the same year. Seven Dometic air handlers (2017), two Charles ISO Boost units, 8D batteries, a Dolphin Pro 24.6 battery charger, and a Vanner VoltMaster sixty‑amp charger keep power stable. An engine room camera ties into the Garmins. It’s a robust bluewater heart for a Flybridge Sportfishing Yacht.

Recent upgrades and service work

Performance and polish have been steadily refreshed: updated Veem props with bronze spares, and an updated ice chipper keep the boat quick and ready. In 2024, twin 8612 Garmins were added at the lower helm, with twelve‑inch Garmins also installed in the cockpit and tower. The bridge table was refinished in 2024, as were a custom teak helm console, starboard dash and salon door teak, and the teak steps down to the lower salon; a custom teak salon table joined the list. Tower upholstery was renewed the same year. Fuel pump and injectors were completed in 2024 at thirty thousand dollars, with waste gates added as well. In 2023, new teak coaming boards arrived, a Kenyon grill was installed, and a Florida bow thruster was fitted. A new water heater went in, the water maker was serviced, all new salon upholstery was completed, toe rails were refinished, the teak transom was refinished, and a thirty‑eight‑inch Samsung TV was added. A thoughtful cadence of care for a Bluewater Convertible Sportfish.
