The HCB Campeon is a 48-foot center-console sports yacht that was launched by distinguished American yacht-building company HCB in 2023. This exciting sportfishing model delivers graceful style, effortless panache and heavy-duty fishing chops in one innovative package. A bold flared bow, sloping lines to transom, an intuitive walk-around lay-out and lavish touches like teak brightwork and leather surfaces elevate your at-sea lifestyle, while powerful outboard propulsion options generate a visceral, water-churning approach to high-speed pursuits that adrenalin-seekers will adore.
Padded coamings line the bulwark to add comfort and convenience as you move across the free-flowing, walk-around main-deck, while out on the foredeck there is a forward-facing sofa and a set of wrap-around bow seats that double as a pair of chaise-longues. There’s also a pop-up cocktail table out here that can be lowered into place and covered with a cushion to transform this space into one sultry casbah lounge, or removed entirely to help anglers cast their rods. Hidden under the cushions, meanwhile, are a capacious set of ice-coolers and fish-boxes, while integrated cup-holders are on hand to keep refreshments close. As you make your way to aft you will also find up to four coffin-boxes built into the side-deck sole for keeping your prize catches ice-cold.
Customize the wide aft-cockpit to match your lifestyle, with deluxe diamond-stitched seats to transom and a mezzanine sofa available for those who like to take things easy. Alternatively you can install a 30-gallon transom livewell back here with flip-up seats instead of the sofa, or make use of further in-sole storage, a shower fixture, a side lifting gate, a plethora of Gemlux rod-holders peppered throughout, outrigger supports, rocket launchers, unobtrusive rod racks and a timber-lined bait-prep and tackle center. Elevate your fishing experience by installing a set of onboard and underwater nightlights for a moonlit fishing experience.
A large piloting space sits under a floating hard-top with three-sided glazing and a rear window for the perfect level of protection from the elements. A companion sofa and a trio of adjustable helm chairs face a dashboard with a teak helm pod, two oversized Garmin MFD screens, joystick handling, a widescreen systems monitor, power-assisted steering, digital throttles, a JL audio system, Yeti cup-holders, a high-speed compass and room for a slew of fishing and mechanical extras to give your piloting a competitive edge.
A spacious lower-deck living zone impresses with high-gloss timber surrounds and striking leather furnishings for a truly luxurious tone. There’s a summer kitchen down here with Corian surfaces, a sink, a microwave oven and a fridge, while there is a V-shaped sofa up by the bow that can be transformed into an extra bed for rest and recuperation. Also down here is a dedicated head facility with a ceramic bowl sink and a shower fixture for freshening up.
The HCB 48 Campeon comes with quad 450HP Yamaha outboards as standard with upgrades to a quad-set of 600HP Mercury outboard motors also on offer. Expect blistering top speeds sure to outpace even the speediest Marlin and slick cruising speeds that work in tandem with an efficient fiberglass hull and an 800-gallon fuel tank to promote long-distance voyaging to fish-rich feeding grounds.
