1987 Merritt Sportfish

About this boat

This 1987 Merritt Sportfish is listed at 59.33 ft in overall length and 17.08 ft in beam. "The Ship's Cafe" is a turn-key 1987 60' Merritt sportfishing yacht located in Boca Raton, Florida. Combining classic cold-molded craftsmanship with premium modern upgrades, this vessel was completely refurbished in 2010, received stunning new hull paint in 2025, and features a luxurious 3-stateroom, 3-head layout. She is powered by twin MAN V10-1100 inboard diesel engines (repowered in 2007) that were completely rebuilt in 2025, delivering a highly efficient 60 GPH cruise. An extensive 2025 refit added dual Garmin 8612 displays, a 72-mile radar, a Furuno RD-33, and two new Kohler 24KW generators. For maximum offshore comfort, she is stabilized by two SeaKeepers installed in 2020. This tournament-ready machine is heavily equipped with a custom Palm Beach tower, Miya Epoch electric teaser reels, a Release fighting chair, a custom Merritt mezzanine with integrated refrigeration, Starlink connectivity, an Eskimo ice machine, and premium Miele appliances.
