Albemarle Yachts

24 Express

1982–97

EDITOR NOTES: With an 8' beam and 24-degree deadrise deep V hull, the Albemarle 24 offers the speed and comfort of a much larger boat. She is an outstanding craft for salt water game fishing or family cruising, providing a high degree of rugged dependability and functional convenience. One of Albemarle’s most popular models for many years. Standard features include bulkhead-mounted tackle locker, hydraulic trim tabs, raw-water washdown, comfortable cuddy with storage. Excellent helm visibility, terrific rough-water ride. Not as much cockpit space as many 24-footers due to the engine box and slender 8-foot beam. Hardtop was a popular option. Cruise in the low 30s with Volvo 275hp Volvo sterndrive power.
