The Caribbean 32 is closely related to its slightly larger sibling the Caribbean 35 and is sometimes overlooked in favour of the bigger boat, says Scott, but the smaller vessel gives nothing away in terms of utility or performance – and it fits neatly into a 10.5m berth, a major plus in these days of rising marina berth prices and general berth scarcity, especially in the more popular lengths.
As a Caribbean Boats’ demonstrator and his personal vessel, Scott has added a lot of kit to what left the factory as a fairly simple, though decently specc’d, basic vessel. For example, instead of electronic common-rail diesel engines, Nighthawk II features a pair of fully mechanical Yanmar 240hp diesels running shafts for ease of operation, maintenance and repair, there’s no teak anywhere, the gelcoat is plain white (no colours or tints), and it was delivered without electronics or kitchen appliances.
This approach allows Caribbean NZ to offer customers a with many added extras.
