The 2023 Caymas 401 CC represents everything the brand stands for—performance, precision, and craftsmanship. Designed for serious offshore anglers and boaters who want to combine speed, comfort, and style, the 401 CC delivers a driving experience that feels more like a supercar than a fishing boat.
In the Florida Keys, where long runs and unpredictable seas are part of the adventure, this boat stands out as a true offshore thoroughbred. Every inch of the 401 CC is engineered to perform, whether you’re chasing pelagics in deep water, diving at the reef, or cruising with family to the sandbar on a Sunday afternoon.
The Caymas Philosophy: Built by a Legend
Caymas Boats was founded by Earl Bentz, one of the most respected names in the marine industry. His designs have redefined performance boating for decades, and the Caymas 401 CC is the pinnacle of that vision.
Each Caymas is built with a focus on real-world performance. The hulls are designed to maximize efficiency and control, with a stepped design that delivers incredible lift and speed while maintaining a soft, stable ride.
The result is a boat that feels light on the throttles yet solid in the waves—a combination that every Florida boater appreciates after hours offshore.
Performance That Defines Offshore Capability
At 40 feet, the Caymas 401 CC is a commanding presence on the water. Most models are powered by quad Mercury Racing 400R or 450R engines, giving this boat serious range and acceleration.
It cruises comfortably in the 50s and tops out near 70 mph, yet it feels controlled and predictable even at speed. The hull design uses twin steps to reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency, allowing for longer trips offshore without compromising performance.
The ride is dry, smooth, and balanced—a critical feature for South Florida and Keys conditions where sudden winds and shifting seas can test even seasoned captains.
Every throttle response feels instant. The bow lifts naturally, and the boat settles into its running attitude quickly. It’s the kind of performance that inspires confidence, whether you’re crossing from Islamorada to the Marquesas or simply running home after a long day of fishing.
Fishing Power, Without Compromise
Make no mistake—the Caymas 401 CC is a serious fishing machine. Designed with input from tournament professionals, it comes ready for the kind of days when precision and reliability matter most.
You’ll find an incredible list of features that make the 401 CC stand out:
- Massive 50-gallon pressurized live wells for bait storage
- Multiple insulated fish boxes with macerators
- Integrated rod storage in the gunwales and leaning post
- Side dive door for easy access to the water
- High freeboard for safety and comfort offshore
- Optional second station for sight fishing or navigation
The deck layout is clean and open, giving you room to work around the cockpit. Everything is positioned intuitively, from the rod holders to the tackle drawers. It’s a boat built by people who fish.
Whether you’re trolling, kite fishing, or bottom dropping, the 401 CC handles it all with ease. The hull design stays level under load, keeping you and your crew stable while fighting fish or managing lines.
Comfort Meets Craftsmanship
The 401 CC proves that a fishing boat can be luxurious without losing its edge. The attention to detail in the upholstery, helm, and cabin sets Caymas apart from most offshore brands.
At the bow, you’ll find wraparound seating with adjustable backrests and a forward console lounge that rivals the comfort of a yacht. The helm is protected by a sleek, full-glass windshield and a wide hardtop that provides plenty of shade and visibility.
Inside the console, a fully finished cabin includes:
- Air conditioning and lighting controls
- Convertible berth for overnight stays
- Enclosed head and sink with premium fixtures
- Ample storage for gear and personal items
Even during long offshore runs, you’ll appreciate how quiet and refined the ride feels. The hull dampens vibration, and the seating absorbs impact, keeping fatigue to a minimum even on choppy days.
Technology That Makes a Difference
At the helm, the Caymas 401 CC is pure sophistication. Dual or triple Garmin displays integrate seamlessly with Mercury VesselView and joystick systems, giving captains complete control at their fingertips.
You’ll find:
- Digital switching for lighting and power systems
- Joystick piloting with Skyhook and autopilot integration
- Premium JL Audio sound system with subwoofers
- Flush-mounted controls and ergonomic throttles
The visibility is excellent, and every control feels naturally placed. Whether you’re docking in tight marinas or running open water, the technology enhances every part of the experience.
Strength and Build Quality
Caymas is known for overbuilding in all the right ways. The 401 CC’s hull is vacuum-infused and reinforced with a composite grid stringer system that eliminates flex and improves handling.
All wiring is labeled and heat-shrunk, the hardware is stainless steel throughout, and the finish quality rivals much larger boats. Every seam, joint, and fitting feels intentional.
It’s a level of build quality that stands up to South Florida’s demanding marine environment—sun, salt, and constant use.
Practical Features That Florida Boaters Appreciate
Beyond the power and polish, the 401 CC includes the small conveniences that make boating life easier.
- Integrated bow thruster for precision maneuvering
- Massive transom storage compartments
- Freshwater and raw-water washdowns
- Optional cockpit grill and refrigerator
- Integrated dive ladder for easy water access
These touches make the 401 CC not only a capable sportfisher, but also a fantastic platform for diving, cruising, and entertaining.
Who the Caymas 401 CC Is For
The 401 CC is the perfect choice for serious boaters who want professional-grade performance without sacrificing comfort or craftsmanship. It’s built for:
- Offshore anglers who run long distances and demand reliability
- Boaters upgrading from smaller center consoles who want more range and luxury
- Families who split time between fishing trips and weekend cruising
It’s equally at home heading offshore for a tournament as it is anchored near Alligator Reef for a sunset gathering.
