2013 Cabo 40 Hardtop Express yacht cruising on open water under a clear blue sky.

Description

GHOST is an exceptionally clean, meticulously maintained example of Cabo’s acclaimed 40HTX Hardtop Express. Powered by twin Cummins QSC 8.3 (600 HP) pod drives with just 780 hours, she combines outstanding fuel efficiency, quiet operation, and effortless joystick maneuverability around the dock.

Recent Maintenance Note (August 2026): GHOST is completely turn-key and ready for immediate cruising or fishing, having just completed a comprehensive 2-year Engine and Pod service, brand-new bottom paint, and a full exterior detail.

Unlike many sportfish vessels in her class, GHOST is currently set up as a premium cruiser—yet she retains all factory fishability infrastructure (transom bait tank, in-deck fish boxes, rocket launcher, tackle center) to easily transition back into a hard-core offshore battlewagon at a moment's notice.
