1987 Southern Cross 44 Fish, 100.000 USD

If you have been searching for a true offshore sportfisher with pedigree, strength, and proven Caribbean capability, Matadora deserves your attention.

The Southern Cross 44 is an exceptionally rare yacht featuring one of legendary naval architect Tom Fexas’s most innovative hull designs. Incorporating underwater exhausts, hull venting, and a narrowed running surface aft, this hull delivers a soft, dry ride while maintaining efficiency and stability offshore.

Constructed using a Kevlar/fiberglass sandwich laminate, the hull is strong while remaining lighter than comparable production sportfish. Even after nearly four decades, the hull shows virtually no stress cracking—an impressive testament to the quality of construction.

Powered by twin Detroit Diesel 6V-92TA engines producing a combined 1,100 horsepower, Matadora cruises around 25 knots while carrying 650 gallons of fuel, making her suited for island hopping, tournament fishing, or extended cruising throughout the Caribbean.

Inside, two comfortable staterooms, a well-equipped galley, air conditioning, and a spacious salon provide comfortable accommodations after a day offshore.

Whether your passion is bluewater fishing, cruising between islands, or owning a unique classic sportfisher, Matadora represents a rare opportunity.
