Rum punch perfection
Caribbean boats carry a large dose of Bertram DNA, since International Marine produced Bertram motor yachts for many years before developing the Caribbean range.
This Bertram lineage is evident in the classic lines of the Caribbean 420 Express, the sedan version of the popular Caribbean 40 Flybridge (Boating NZ, August 2012). To my eye the 420 Express looks sleeker and more stylish and Caribbean has added some nice detailing too, like improved, neoprene-backed stainless-steel beltings.
The 420 Express Night Hawk II is Scott White’s demonstration vessel, the first brand-new one in New Zealand. Scott holds the New Zealand agency for Caribbean boats. Boating New Zealand readers may remember that Scott’s demonstrators are always called Night Hawk, in memory of his late father’s boats of the same name. This is perhaps the third or fourth Caribbean I have reviewed called Night Hawk.
As a demonstrator, has lots of factory options, plus quite a few extras Scott added travelled to for this story.
