2012 CABO 44 Hardtop Express Confronta

Built by CABO in 2012, Won't Back Down is a 13.41-metre motor yacht that delivers a practical balance of comfort, performance and offshore capability. This hardtop express is purpose-built for serious fishing and extended cruising, combining a proven hull design with genuine seaworthiness and a well-appointed interior.

The yacht is powered by twin Caterpillar C-18 engines delivering 1015 horsepower each, with logged hours just under 2000 and full service completion at the 2k-hour mark. Recent investments include dual Seakeeper 4.5 gyro stabilisers installed in June 2025 with warranty, a complete new exhaust system with risers, updated Garmin electronics including a 12-inch touchscreen, and a hull repaint in Awlgrip completed in 2021. The two-stateroom layout provides comfortable overnight accommodation, while the cockpit and deck areas feature custom teak finishing, a livewell with bait tank window, removable tuna tubes, a bait fridge and freezer, a fresh water maker, ice chipper, Starlink connectivity, and a full suite of fishing and comfort amenities including air conditioning, a cockpit grill, handheld shower and reclining bow sun pad.

Won't Back Down suits buyers seeking a well-maintained sportfishing platform capable of extended offshore trips and overnight stays. The comprehensive recent upgrades—from stabilisers and propulsion systems to electronics and galley equipment—reflect an owner committed to both performance and reliability, making this yacht an accessible entry point into serious recreational fishing and cruising.
