About this yacht

Carolina Lines and a Purposeful Fishing Deck

The 1997 Custom Carolina 49 Ricky Gillikan combines Carolina-style lines with a teak-decked cockpit arranged around serious fishing equipment and onboard comfort. Mezzanine seating incorporates air conditioning, a freezer and an ice bin, while a JL Audio sound system serves the cockpit.

The cockpit’s layout keeps the working deck clear while placing cold storage and seating immediately aft of the salon.

Helm Station and Electronics

The center-console flybridge carries Release Marine seating, helm air conditioning and SeaDek flooring. Garmin and Furuno electronics equip the helm station for navigation and fish-finding duties.

The 49 Ricky Gillikan carries twin Cummins QSC 8.3 engines rated at 1,200 hp, with a 21 kW Phasor generator installed in 2025.

Teak Interior and Galley Detail

The salon features warm teak joinery, a U-shaped sofa with integrated storage and a pop-up Samsung television. The galley pairs JennAir refrigerator drawers with quartz countertops and a slide-out liquor cabinet.

These interior spaces place everyday storage and entertainment within the main social area without interrupting the open salon arrangement.

Two-Cabin Accommodation

The two-cabin layout includes a forward cabin with dedicated rod and gear storage. The primary cabin contains a full-size berth, an ensuite head and six built-in storage cabinets.

The 1997 Custom Carolina 49 Ricky Gillikan is located in Quepos, Costa Rica.
