This 2008 Cabo 40 Express is a rare gem in the Middle East / Indian Ocean region — fully fitted with the largest engine option ever offered by Cabo for this model, delivering unmatched power and offshore capability. Maintained by a knowledgeable owner who understands every detail, this boat has had recent full engine servicing, all fluid changes done, and everything that matters tuned for both reliability and performance.
This Cabo offers enormous value — similar examples in the U.S. with equivalent upgrades and engine spec regularly fetch significantly higher prices. Yet here, below these U.S. market values, it’s a “don’t‑miss” opportunity for serious big‑game anglers or fishing charter businesses. The cockpit, deck, electronics, and all major mechanicals are in excellent condition. Living and sleeping quarters below deck are roomy, well‑ventilated, and comfortable for extended offshore trips, with all storage, fish boxes, bait wells etc. up to Cabo’s rugged standard.
For anyone looking for maximum power, dependability, and a unique Cabo Express with superb service history, this boat is simply one of the best value propositions currently available in this region. Available now — priced to sell before someone overseas snaps up a comparable U.S. boat for far more.
Access to the helm deck is located on the starboard side, while a compact storage compartment sits to port, featuring pass-through access ideal for stowing gaffs. The spacious cockpit is fully outfitted for fishing, featuring two large in-deck fish boxes with macerator pumps, under-gunwale gear racks, both freshwater and saltwater washdowns, a molded transom baitwell, and a transom door with gate for easy access.
A centerline helm and companionway to starboard maximize functionality and keep the operator engaged in the action, whether it’s fishing or entertaining. Directly behind the helm seat on the port side, an L-shaped lounge offers ample seating and integrated rod storage beneath. On the starboard side, you'll find a long tackle station with generous counter space, as well as an additional forward-facing helm chair positioned ahead.
Below deck, the cabin provides impressive 6'3" headroom, enhancing its open, liveable feel. To port is a fully enclosed head with a spacious stall shower. The bow features an island berth surrounded by lockers and detailed with teak grating, a hallmark design element. On the starboard side, an L-shaped settee conceals a large storage area below; the straight section of the seating lifts to convert into a Pullman-style berth. A vertical locker equipped with custom stainless fittings is also available for rod storage. Additional cabinetry and compartments throughout the cabin, including the finished forward bilge, offer extensive storage options and house essential systems.
