"Smooth, simple, seaworthy, and safe" commonly describe our 23. A smooth ride from the round bilge hull; simplicity for a frustration free experience; seaworthy and safe to keep you calm in the rough stuff. Sport Fishing Magazine chose the 23 as one of its' 25 Great Boats of the Decade, she has a vast and sterling reputation.
Built in both Man O' War Cay and West Palm Beach, over 600 23's have been built since 1997. The original interiors were built using marine ply, all composite construction was phased in starting in 2004. The forward seating interior with an insulated fish box debuted in 2007. Now you can choose from several interior configurations to suit your needs.
23's are cruising from the Bahamas to Seattle, Panama to Kuwait, the Caribbean and Mediterranean, and most everywhere in between. Wouldn’t you like to join them?
Hand laid construction from start to finish ensures quality. Her modified V-hull, combined with low center of gravity, offers passengers stability at rest and on the move. When the power is cut and lines are dropped, you’ll feel a light bobbing motion as opposed to the snap roll common with deep-v hulls. The full bow, along with 3-piece construction provides for a lot of space. Liberal use of vacuum technology creates a strong structure, and maximizes her interior volume.
Although she is nearly a 50 mph boat, 26-36 mph is her most economical range. Bringing her up on plane only takes 18 mph. When conditions are rough, holding plane at low speed is comfortable, and not possible on most outboard boats. At either speed, the fine entry is slicing through the steep stuff while the round bilges aft yield to the impact of the water. She tracks well too. Don’t try and steer her too much, just let her dance her way through the sea naturally.
Testimonials
Albury 23 is a truly impressive boat. Handles both a head & following sea with equal adeptness...like where did the waves go? Handled 3-6’ seas amazingly, way better than our old 24 Grady. Thanks for a great job.
Just wanted to say, after three seasons, I am still tremendously enjoying my Albury 23. She has a wonderful kindness in a sea and is truly reliable - and she always turns heads. I've had people come down the dock just to see her and find out where she came from. I'm running charters on her now. The customers are always impressed, as I continue to be.

Those who have ridden on the boat or fished with us are universally impressed by the ride….she just goes and goes…solid as a rock.

The boat (27) eats big chop, we call her chopasaurus…caught and released an Atlantic long bill spearfish on the boat yesterday in very rough seas. The boat handled very well. Having the engines close to the transom made the difference on 6 or 7 occasions when the fish streaked under the boat and I had to bring the rod around the back to switch sides.
Sunday we took my mother-87, father-87 and uncle-92 (2 on wheel chairs) out for a spin. Total 12 people on the boat. Everyone had a seat and loved the ride. Try that on a Contender.

Boating since 1962…the Albury is without a doubt the softest, nicest riding boat I have ever been on, period…you have a wonderful crew working at your shop. It is obvious that they all take great pride in building the boats. (1 year later) you take care of the customer after the sale…rare thing that anyone would go to the lengths you have to correct a minor situation…you went way over the top.

The more I use her, the more I like her.
