RICA BOATS SIGNATURE COLLECTION

2026 Maverick 36 Walkaround Express

Tournament Equipped • Furuno Omni Sonar • Approximately 100 Original Hours • Ready for Sportfishing Charters

Some Dreams Are Built. Others Are Lived.

There are boats you purchase.

Then there are boats that change the way you live.

Professionally commissioned in January 2026 and showing only approximately 100 original hours, this custom-built Maverick 36 Walkaround Express offers far more than exceptional offshore performance. It presents a rare opportunity to own, live, and operate a world-class sportfishing operation in one of the world's most legendary fishing destinations.

Whether your vision is to compete in prestigious billfish tournaments, establish an elite sportfishing charter business, entertain clients, or simply enjoy unforgettable days offshore with family and friends, this Maverick allows you to begin immediately.

The boat has already been built.

She has already been commissioned.

She has already been professionally equipped.

She is ready.

Handcrafted Without Compromise

Every Maverick is individually handcrafted by skilled boatbuilders rather than mass-produced on an assembly line.

Her high-tech cold-molded wood construction combines exceptional strength, offshore capability, ride quality, and timeless craftsmanship. Premium Awlgrip finishes extend throughout the exterior, interior, and beautifully faired bilge areas.

Rich Burma teak cockpit decking, teak covering boards, bright-finished mahogany toe rails, and handcrafted mahogany details create the timeless appearance expected of a true custom sportfishing yacht while maintaining the rugged functionality demanded by serious offshore anglers.

This is not simply another production boat.

It is a custom-built offshore fishing machine created by craftsmen who understand what serious fishermen expect.

Tournament Ready from Day One

Every detail was selected to create an uncompromising offshore fishing platform.

Equipment includes:

Professionally installed Furuno CSH-8L Mark-2 Omni Sonar

Garmin navigation and electronics suite

Garmin bird radar

Garmin autopilot

Dual VHF radios

Twin Caterpillar engine displays

Centerline helm with single-lever controls

Marlin tower

Rupp tournament outriggers

Oversized insulated fish box

Live bait well

Four transom tuna tubes

Multiple rod holders

Dredge power receptacles

Freshwater and saltwater washdown systems

LED underwater transom lighting

The professionally installed Furuno Omni Sonar, representing nearly USD $100,000 in equipment and installation, gives the captain true 360-degree underwater awareness, allowing bait schools and game fish to be located before they ever appear beneath the boat.

Technology of this caliber is normally found aboard much larger tournament programs.

Powered for Offshore Performance

Twin Caterpillar C7.1 diesel engines with approximately 100 original hours provide dependable offshore performance.

The Caterpillar factory warranty remains in effect through January 2028, with the option for the next owner to purchase Caterpillar Platinum Plus extended engine coverage.

Supporting systems include:

Phasor 8.0 kW generator

High-capacity battery system

Battery charging system

Custom 120/240-volt electrical distribution

Galvanic isolation system

Fireboy automatic engine-room fire suppression

LED lighting throughout

Every major onboard system was selected for reliability, serviceability, and long-term ownership.

Comfort Meets Capability

Although purpose-built for serious fishing, the Maverick also provides the comfort expected aboard a premium custom yacht.

Interior features include:

Webasto air conditioning

Comfortable overnight accommodations

Marine head

Isotherm refrigerator

Microwave oven

Fusion entertainment system

Premium custom interior finishes

Mezzanine seating

Whether preparing for a tournament before sunrise or spending a relaxing weekend exploring Costa Rica's spectacular coastline, the interior provides everything needed for comfortable overnight adventures.

Own More Than a Boat

Costa Rica has earned an international reputation as one of the world's premier sportfishing destinations.

The waters surrounding Quepos consistently produce outstanding fishing for Pacific sailfish, blue marlin, yellowfin tuna, dorado, roosterfish, wahoo, and countless other game species.

For decades, anglers from around the world have traveled here to experience one of the finest offshore fisheries on Earth.

Now imagine calling it home.

Imagine welcoming guests aboard each morning.

Running only minutes to productive blue water.

Returning each afternoon to one of the world's most prestigious sportfishing marinas.

This vessel is professionally registered and ready to operate sportfishing charters, creating an extraordinary opportunity for someone who has always dreamed of owning and operating a world-class fishing operation.

This is more than purchasing a boat.

It is purchasing a lifestyle.

Support Beyond Delivery

One of the greatest advantages of this Maverick cannot be seen in photographs.

The yacht was built in Costa Rica by Maverick Manufacturing, and the craftsmen who built her remain here to provide factory support whenever needed.

In addition, the next owner benefits from established local support for Caterpillar engines, Furuno electronics, the generator, air conditioning, and the vessel's major onboard systems.

Few custom sportfishing yachts anywhere in the world offer this level of factory access and technical support.

Replacement Cost

Replacing this Maverick today would involve substantially more than simply ordering a new boat.

A comparable current-model Maverick equipped to this standard—including custom construction, premium electronics, the Furuno Omni Sonar system, commissioning, importation into Costa Rica, applicable duties and taxes, registration, and delivery—is estimated to represent an investment approaching:

USD $1,900,000

More importantly, it would require months of planning, construction, shipping, commissioning, and installation.

This opportunity eliminates all of that.

She is built.

She is commissioned.

She is equipped.

She is ready.

Optional Marina Pez Vela Slip

The vessel is currently berthed at Marina Pez Vela in Quepos, Costa Rica, recognized as one of the world's premier sportfishing marinas and home to more international billfish tournaments than any other marina in the world.

The marina slip is NOT included in the asking price.

However, the owner may make the slip available for purchase separately to the buyer of the vessel.

For buyers wishing to establish a permanent presence in Costa Rica, the opportunity to acquire both a custom tournament-ready Maverick and premium dockage at Marina Pez Vela is exceptionally rare.

Please inquire with Rica Boats regarding slip availability and pricing.
