The Albemarle 320 is a heavily built tournament express whose large cockpit, quality construction, and versatile layout made her one of the more popular boats in her class for many years. Hull construction is solid fiberglass, and a sharp entry and a well-flared bow contribute to the 320’s excellent headsea performance. Albemarle significantly updated this boat in 1999 when the deck, cockpit, and helm were redesigned, a transom door became standard, and the fuel tank was relocated under the cockpit. Wide side decks make getting around easy, and sightlines from the raised helm are very good. Below deck, the compact, teak-trimmed interior includes a galley cabinet with sink, microwave and fridge, standup head/shower, and a convertible dinette/V-berth forward with backrests that lift to become single bunks. Additional features include a teak and holly cabin sole, molded bow pulpit, insulated fish/storage boxes, livewell, cockpit bolsters, fresh and raw water washdowns, and cockpit rod storage. Cat 350hp (or Yanmar 370hp) diesels cruise at 26–28 knots (30 top). Later models with 440hp Yanmars top out in the low 30s. An updated Albemarle 32 Express was introduced in 2022.
