Merritt boatworks is truly a legendary name in the world of sportfish yachts. Built with obsessive craftsmanship, this 1998 48-footer combines durability, finesse, while achieving great efficiency.

“Chunda” is a house hold name in the industry. This boat was built by legendary fisherman Stewart Campbell to chase world records around the world. She was a successful platform under Mr. Campbell’s ownership, as she is now under her current ownership.
