Albury Brothers — Owner's Party



Testimonials Boating since 1962…the Albury is without a doubt the softest, nicest riding boat I have ever been on, period…you have a wonderful crew working at your shop. It is obvious that they all take great pride in building the boats. (1 year later) you take care of the customer after the sale…rare thing that anyone would go to the lengths you have to correct a minor situation…you went way over the top. Paul S...................St. Petersburg, FL Albury 23 is a truly impressive boat. Handles both a head & following sea with equal adeptness...like where did the waves go? Handled 3-6’ seas amazingly, way better than our old 24 Grady. Thanks for a great job. Court V...................Virginia Beach, VA I have now fished her 4 times. Every time I have gone out it has been rough as shit! I am amazed at what she can do. It is really quite incredible. Craig F.................. Jupiter, FL …it continues to offer more pleasant surprises as I learn about it…wind 15 to 20 mph out of the NE & we enjoyed the dry, soft ride as much as we enjoyed passing the large twin-engine Gradys. Simply can't believe how much I love the boat. Ray G..................Morehead City, NC Wind kicked up & seas built to solid 4’ with a good dose of 6’. She stayed completely dry without any pounding. I never expected it to perform that well. When it's running in the confused chop, I've learned not to force it…just point it in the direction you want it to go & let it dance it's way through the seas. Jorge A..................Tampa, FL. Sweet! Exectations have been exceeded. Softness of ride & solidity are remarkable. Nothing in the way of "confused seas", wakes, chop phases it a bit. Offshore 30 miles…comfortable & safe. Tracking and control are simply better than anything in our experience. Suzuki runs beautifully & quiet. Pete Y.................. Wilmington, NC The Albury 23 is by far the best riding 23 footer I've been on…& I've been on a lot of 23's... Parker D..................Wrightsville Beach, NC Thank you & your team in Riviera Beach for my Albury Brothers 23. Without a doubt this is the best center console boat I’ve ever owned… William H.................. Coral Gables, FL I LOVE this boat! Everything was done professionally & aesthetically pleasing. Just came back from Great Harbour, Bahamas. I was concerned about the crossing but gained complete confidence in the safety of this boat & can't wait to go again! (next year’s trip) the bank was nasty, but nothing like the Gulfstream which got worse the closer we got to the coast. At no time was I worried there might be a problem, we were wet but that was it. John & Susie R. .................Homestead, FL I was running a Albury 23 back to Florida from the Bahamas with my two young sons. I came off the bank & it was really snotty out. Had second thoughts about crossing but the boat handled the seas beautifully. Capt. Will B., Seatow................. Palm Beach County, FL Just returned from Harbour Island & my new boat was the talk of the island! I appreciate all your hard work to get it delivered in time. Buddy D. .................Kiawah Island, SC It truly does exceed my expectations, solid as a rock, easy to handle, easy to maintain, its perfect! 225 seems to fit the boat just right…easy cruise at 4100 rpm & hums along at 26 kts despite the stiff chop on the Cape Fear River when the wind and current are in the opposite direction. What surprised me most was lack of any need for tabs, even with very stiff crosswind & T-top, no tendency to lean into the wind. My Grady would "heel" 10 degrees in the same conditions! Charles P. .................Naperville, IL I have been messing with fishing boats for 45 years. Albury 23 is the perfect boat for our purposes. It is comfortable, dry, and very easy to maintain. Fishing out of it is a real pleasure. Mike L.................. Denton, MD Love the boat, met all of my expectations & more. It corners like a Rat on Reeboks, doesn't slide like most center consoles. Chris & Jon B................. Allied Richard Bertram It's been been a pleasure working with you. We are delighted with the boat. Don C..................NYC, NY & Jupiter Island, FL A wonderful experience to witness how our boat was built. Craftsman were always eager to show us the various stages of the building process. The Albury Brothers boat is a "forever boat". Diane and John K. .................N. Palm Beach, FL Love the boat! Rides great, cleans up easily. Out in some nasty chop & you wouldn't know it compared to other boats we've had. Cam & Carol.................Sanibel Island, FL The boat is fantastic! We really are quite happy with everything. Thanks again - this is a great boat! Alan & Jan.................Boynton Beach, FL Thought you might like a picture of the boat in action in the Bahamas…this is one great fishing machine. George P..................Pasadena, Maryland After 1 year, I thought I could come up with a lot of maintenance issues, but I can't. I truly love this boat, it goes long distances reliably, economically with a great-dry ride! Tommy W..................Miami, FL My 20 is the best riding boat for its size I have ever had and I’ve had more than my share. Keep up the good work. David D. .................Orange Beach, AL We love the boat! Richard B..................Coral Gables, FL We had a wonderful summer with my new 23 called POPS II. Erich K. .................Swans Is, ME The 23 is everything you said it would be...like it more every time we have it out. Glad I went with the twin Suzuki’s, sippers of gas. Mike G..................Davie, FL She’s phenomenal…I love it! Ralph B..................Coral Gables, FL When I travel with force 6 winds in the wave direction or some angle, not only I am "dry" but I can go 4500 rpm. The first time I realized, no one believed me. I always go by myself Athens to Mykonos...depending on wind force. Angelos D..................Athens, Greece I’m proud to own one, it’s more bang for the buck than I thought. Leslie D..................Jupiter, FL I have never driven another center console with as soft an entry in hard seas. Ben W. .................Palm Beach Gardens, FL We are thoroughly enjoying our new 20. 3.15 GPH pulling wake boarders. Jim D..................Jupiter, FL I rented a 20 in Hopetown- truly one of the best boats I have ever driven. Kim H. Rented a 20 in Abaco & can’t tell you how impressed I was despite strong winds & heavy chop…keep building these beautiful boats. Email Sad day for me, just sold the finest boat ever built, our 23. Been on the water 50 years & nothing can compare with the 23 construction-wise, ride, driest, the best 5-star. I feel like I just lost a great friend. Jim T.................. Sarasota, FL Everything with the boat is great. Jason E..................Dania Beach, FL Boating my entire life & I consider the 20 to be the finest. Jon K..................Delray Beach, FL The rough conditions were no problem. Darren M.................Tampa, FL The 20 is absolutely unbelievable, the bigger the seas were the bigger the boat felt. I made a tight turn, which it leaned into beautifully, then headed directly into a wind blown 2-3 foot white cap chop. The boat just flattened it. We decided to head out the inlet, it was huge, easily 6 feet with some larger. I cruised out at 18-20 mph, leaping off some faces with the best reentry I’ve ever felt. I was able to maintain a steady speed and truthfully stay comfortable with no pounding. Then throwing down the throttle and really catching some air proved to be the most fun I’ve had in a while. I felt so safe and secure in that boat. Colin R..................Palm Beach Gardens, FL I had the opportunity to ride on a friend's Albury recently and I have to say I was really impressed. He kept telling me how good the Albury rode, but until he took me for a ride, I just thought it was kind of like a mother saying her ugly kid was handsome, just so much bulls@t. Boy was I wrong. Not only did it ride great and look great, but when we got back to the dock he hosed it down and in 5 minutes we were packed up and on our way. On his old boat we used to take 20 minutes or so to clean it up. I want one real bad… JakoMako.................THT Forum Post* …rented a Albury 23 last week. Our first run in the boat, my wife and I looked at each other and grinned when we hit chop. We both noticed it immediately. There was no 'thub, thub'; the boat sort of 'feathers' into wave. It blew stink the entire week...the ride was as good as can be expected of a 23 footer in big chop. Our 2 year old girl fell asleep in mom's arms during the ride and mom, 7 and 9 year olds enjoyed the ride. We saw few other boats out that day. We went out Tilloo Cut to troll the 100 fathom line. It built to 20+ as soon as we got out and since the wind had been blowing from the SW for a week, there was a pretty good swell going I realized coming in that there is a dangerous side to the boat. It is very competent and trustworthy, which may get me into feeling bulletproof and into trouble...these guys really know how to build a boat. Unfortunately, that will be lost on a lot of people. It's very much like getting a good doctor or lawyer, you pay for experience and getting it done right. There a lot of examples beyond the ride: 'eye' nav lights don't night blind you like deck or T-top mounts will, hatches fit perfectly and open flat on deck, you can lean comfortably and securely against the gunwale at any point in a seaway when fishing, position of console, leaning post, fuel tank placement, etc. It's a very relaxing, effortless boat to run because of it. No falling onto chines, oil-canning hull panels, cheesy fittings, or styling compromise. It's a lifetime boat. Charlie..................Posted on thehulltruth.com 10’ to 12’ waves going over (to Grand Bahama) and 8’ to 10’ coming back, nothing but a true Albury ride. I...don’t think I will do that again any time soon. Hugh E. ..................N. Palm Beach, FL
