2016 Caribbean 49 Flybridge Cruiser - Release
Deep-V offshore hull | Twin Caterpillar C12 engines | Fully enclosed flybridge | 165 sq ft fishing cockpit | South Pacific cruising ready
Release is an impressive 2016 Caribbean 49 Enclosed Flybridge Cruiser, combining exceptional offshore capability, powerful performance and comfortable long-range cruising accommodation. Built by Australia's renowned International Marine, she features the highly regarded deep-V hull design, celebrated for its robust construction, confident sea-keeping and ability to handle demanding offshore conditions. Currently lying at Vuda Marina, Fiji, Release offers a compelling opportunity to acquire a proven South Pacific cruiser equally suited to serious sportfishing and relaxed family adventures.
Power comes from twin Caterpillar C12 700hp shaft-drive diesel engines, with approximately 2,444 and 2,446 hours and servicing completed in June 2026. Delivering a reported cruising speed of 25 knots and maximum speed of 30 knots, she offers the performance and flexibility needed for both offshore fishing expeditions and extended coastal cruising. Bow and stern thrusters, electronic Quick Shift controls and a Dockmate yacht controller make manoeuvring this substantial vessel considerably easier.
Designed for comfortable life aboard, Release features a spacious three-cabin, two-bathroom layout, accommodating six guests across a forward owner's stateroom with island queen berth, a portside double cabin and a starboard twin-bunk cabin. The welcoming saloon offers comfortable seating and entertainment facilities, while the well-appointed galley includes a Fisher & Paykel four-element induction cooktop, dishwasher, convection oven and generous refrigeration, creating a practical environment for extended cruising.
One of her standout features is the fully enclosed, air-conditioned flybridge, providing excellent visibility, protection from the elements and a comfortable command centre in all seasons. A comprehensive Garmin navigation package, including chartplotters, autopilot, AIS, Fantom radar and dual sonar systems, supports confident offshore navigation, while Starlink connectivity keeps owners and guests connected during their travels.
Release is exceptionally well equipped for extended independence, with 3,200 litres of fuel capacity, 900 litres of freshwater, a Bluewater 110L/hr watermaker and a 13.5kVA Onan generator. Air conditioning throughout the vessel, Victron electrical equipment and an onboard washer/dryer further enhance comfort, making her particularly appealing for extended Pacific cruising.
For passionate anglers, the expansive 165-square-foot cockpit is purpose-built for serious offshore fishing. Her extensive equipment includes Reelax outriggers, upgraded 27-foot game poles, twin live bait tanks, multiple rod holders, rocket launchers and a dedicated tackle station. Generous working space, cockpit refrigeration, freshwater and saltwater washdowns, and a substantial swim platform provide exceptional versatility for fishing, diving and entertaining.
Completing the package is a custom 4.1m Cross Country sports-fishing tender with Suzuki 30hp outboard, equipped with its own Garmin electronics and supported by a 350kg deck crane. Having already cruised extensively throughout Fiji, Tonga and the wider South Pacific, Release offers the advantage of a proven offshore platform already positioned in one of the world's most desirable cruising regions.
With her powerful Caterpillar engines, enclosed flybridge and comprehensive long-range cruising systems, Release presents an outstanding opportunity for buyers seeking a capable and comfortable offshore motor yacht. Whether chasing bluewater gamefish, exploring remote islands or entertaining family and friends, she offers an appealing combination of performance, practicality and adventure.
