BLACK GOLD is configured as a dedicated sportfisher
The yacht carries four-spreader Rupp outriggers, a centre rigger, Miya Epoch teaser reels, a Release fighting chair, rocket launcher, fish box and livewell. This equipment places offshore fishing at the centre of the boat’s purpose rather than treating it as an occasional secondary use.
A beam of 18 feet 9 inches provides a substantial cockpit and interior platform. Three cabins and three heads support extended tournament trips or cruising with a smaller owner’s party between fishing events.
Electronics combine Garmin and Furuno systems
The helm includes multiple Garmin multifunction displays together with Furuno NavNet, radar and scanning sonar equipment. Garmin autopilot, VHF communications and Starlink connectivity add modern navigation and communications capability.
An Omni sonar system installed in 2022 further reinforces the yacht’s specialist fishing role. For offshore operation, this equipment allows the crew to combine navigation, weather awareness and fish-finding information across multiple displays.
Recent upgrades extend beyond electronics
The listing notes new teak covering boards in 2022, a completely renewed fire system in 2025, a new watermaker in 2025 and a new stereo system in 2026. Isoboosters were updated in 2024, showing continued investment across several ownership cycles.
These upgrades do not replace the need for a full mechanical survey, particularly given the age and engine history. They do, however, indicate that the yacht has continued to receive systems investment rather than remaining static.
Lighthouse Point gives immediate South Florida access
BLACK GOLD is based in Lighthouse Point, close to Fort Lauderdale’s yards and marine suppliers. The location also provides quick access to offshore fishing grounds and crossings toward the Bahamas.
At $1.75 million, the yacht targets a specialist buyer who values the Custom Carolina sportfishing pedigree, cruising speed and existing equipment. Its market position depends on the condition of machinery and the quality of its recent systems work.
