A Family-Friendly Boat

Albemarle Boats is constructing a 27-foot dual console for boaters who want a family-friendly, versatile platform that can anchor at the sandbar, go for a dinner cruise or tackle offshore fishing. The 27DC can be powered by 200- or 250-hp Yamaha outboards with lounging space for family and friends at the bow, helm and cockpit. Below, the Albemarle 27DC’s starboard console will feature a 6-foot, 6-inch bunk and will be long enough to lock up rods and gear up to 8 feet in length. The port console interior will include a marine head, sink, countertop and storage closet. She is scheduled to debut this fall. albemarleboats.com
