Experience luxury, performance and unmatched seakeeping abilities with the 52' (15.85m) Buddy Davis REEL RHINO. Meticulously designed by the creative minds of the Davis Engineering Team, this sportfish stands out with her slightly wider and significantly lighter build compared to other models on the water, while still exuding classic lines that are synonymous with Davis sportfishers.
Step below deck to discover the thoughtful layout featuring two generous staterooms and two well-appointed head accommodations. The master stateroom boasts a comfortable berth with storage compartments and drawers, along with an integrated television and DVD setup. The high-gloss teak cabinets and vinyl wall coverings add a touch of elegance to the interior. The guest stateroom is equally inviting, offering a double berth on the centerline, ample storage space and a large cedar-lined hanging locker. Both staterooms feature air conditioning with digital controls to ensure your utmost comfort during your adventures on the water.
The centerline helm provides unparalleled all-around visibility, allowing you to command the vessel with ease. The matching helm seats ensures that the co-pilot feels empowered while aiding in navigation. Just aft of the command center, two L-shaped settees provide comfortable seating for guests to enjoy the action, whether you're fishing for trophy catches or cruising in style.
Fishing enthusiasts will be delighted with the thoughtfully designed cockpit, equipped for serious fishing endeavors. Built-in features include a bait well, fish box and freezer to store your prized catches. The teak deck and teak covering boards enhance the vessel's aesthetic while offering a durable and elegant finish.
REEL RHINO is rigged and ready for offshore fishing adventures, powered by twin common railman 1360hp Mann engines that deliver impressive speed and nimbleness. The yacht underwent maintenance in 2019, including teak decking replacement in the cockpit and upgrades to the Navionics, which were replaced and upgraded to Garmin at the bridge and tower.
The main salon and dining area are well appointed with a large settee to port, providing ample storage space beneath. Across to starboard, you'll find the galley, featuring modern amenities for all your culinary needs. The headliner with recessed lighting and the AC/heat system ensure a comfortable ambiance throughout the interior.
The deck spaces on REEL RHINO are designed with both fishing and relaxation in mind. The transom livewell, built-in tackle centers and spacious cockpit freezer are just a few of the features catering to your fishing endeavors. The bridge deck and flybridge offer a commanding view and feature Davis' custom teak helm bubble with polished stainless steel controls.
REEL RHINO boasts premium Awlgrip and gel coat exterior finishes with advanced composite construction. All exterior cleats are reinforced with solid metal backing plates, and underwater appendages are expertly bonded for maximum durability.
This 52’ Buddy Davis Express offers luxurious cruising amenities with a world-class offshore fishing platform and is truly a head-turner.
Large tournament style cockpit, a spacious command bridge, and an accommodation plan with a full-width second stateroom with private head and shower, this 52’ Buddy Davis remains one of the most well-regarded sportfish yachts of its class and is a perfect example of what a yacht can look like when it has been meticulously maintained by a loving owner.
Buddy Davis’s method of construction utilizes fiberglass and composite materials only, no wood. True to the Buddy Davis tradition, the 52 Express relies upon an exaggerated bow flare and knife-sharp entry to deliver a ride that is extremely soft and dry. Buddy Davis yachts are constructed with the resin infusion system and are gel coat finished.
REEL RHINO's clean, uncluttered deck leads to the curved bridge deck, the center of activity on any 52’ Express. Visibility from the teak helm pod and the surrounding command bridge is outstanding at any speed and a matching helm seat gives the co-pilot an equal sense of power.
Whether fishing or cruising, two luxurious L-shaped settees allow guests to stay close to all the action. A built-in Isotherm refrigerator and ice machine keep trips below to a minimum. The entire area is air-conditioned and enclosed with canvas and curtains.
Designed for serious fishing, the tournament cockpit features a walk-through tuna door, built-in baitwell, fish boxes, washdown systems, built-in tackle storage with drawers, and hydraulic engine room access on the centerline. The teak exterior flooring looks like it was installed just yesterday.
Down below, her thoughtful layout offers two full heads, large master stateroom, a huge VIP guest stateroom, a modern galley, and a large sofa. Shower converts to a custom steam room.
