2025 Albemarle 53

Two legendary North Carolina boat brands - Albemarle Boats and Spencer Yachts - announced a partnership that will result in a new semi-custom 53-foot Carolina-style sportfisher, the Albemarle 53 Spencer Edition. Design work has been completed, molds finished and construction is underway at Albemarle’s Edenton facility. The 53 Spencer Edition will be the largest boat model in the Albemarle line.

The first 53 features a flybridge configuration with classic Spencer styling and a hull engineered for high cruise speeds - with the seakeeping ability that characterizes both Albemarle and Spencer. The interior will boast an open Salon layout - The Salon has two L-shaped seating areas with tables and a Galley loaded with appliances and counter space. The Three-Stateroom, Two-Head layout has the Master Stateroom in the bow and two Staterooms to port and starboard.

Topside, an island Helm arrangement, forward facing lounge, and bench seating will offer abundant accommodation and excellent visibility from the Bridge. For fishing, the 160-square-foot Cockpit is complemented by a transom fish box, transom door, and a Mezzanine design with Engine Room access and molded boxes that can be customized to accommodate a variety of storage and refrigeration.

The hull will be vacuum-infused with vinylester resin and foam core. This will make it their strongest, yet lightest design to date. The entire boat is loaded with innovative details and features that will set new standards in the world of sportfishing and allow our customers to go further and do more.

For power, the first 53 features twin MTU 1,600 hp. turbo-diesel inboards, but this sport fisher can also be ordered with twin CAT 1,000 hp. D12.9 turbo-diesels or twin CAT C18 1,150 hp. twin turbo-diesel inboards.
