The San Diego-built Mikelson Sportfishers are highly regarded by serious offshore anglers, while offering the comfort and luxury expected for extended family cruising. Carcharodon is a fine example of the breed and was the third Mikelson 50 Sportfisher commissioned by her original owner—a testament to the confidence inspired by this exceptional marque.
Beautifully crafted with a rich cherry wood interior, Carcharodon features two generous staterooms, each with its own ensuite, along with an expansive saloon, a practical and well-appointed galley, a spacious lounge, and a dedicated dining area. Outside, the large teak-laid cockpit is designed for both fishing and entertaining, with electric hatches providing effortless access to the engine room. The flybridge offers an additional social space, complete with ample seating and excellent amenities, making it equally suited to cruising or relaxing at anchor.
Mikelson's renowned design philosophy places the engines beneath the cockpit for outstanding service access and maintains a very low centre of gravity for exceptional stability. Fuel tanks are positioned amidships, ensuring the vessel remains in trim regardless of fuel load. The generous beam creates remarkable interior volume for a 50-foot vessel, while the low centre of gravity delivers a confident, stable ride in a wide range of sea conditions.
The efficient hull design, featuring rounded aft chines, produces a notably smaller wake and is widely recognised for delivering fuel consumption of approximately 20% less than many comparable sportfishing designs.
Although a boutique builder, Mikelson has produced more than 100 of the highly respected 50 Sportfisher models. Their proven performance, seaworthiness, and reliability have been demonstrated over countless offshore adventures, coastal passages, and thousands of nautical miles, earning the brand a loyal following among discerning owners worldwide.
