The Boat:  She's the reason that you'll look forward to taking six hours to reach Montauk!

Comfort and safety were paramount in the design of our boat.

This is a 34 ft. "Downeast" cruising boat.  Unlike "V" hulls found on today's express cruisers or most sportfishing boats, this vessel boasts a "trawler-like" semi-displacement hull that glides through the chop rather than bouncing over it.  This makes for a much more comfortable ride and allows her to handle well in heavy seas. 

The trade off for comfort is speed.  She cruises at a leisurely 14 kt.
 


She’s powered by a single 300 horsepower diesel engine and sports an electric bow thruster for negotiating tight spaces.  She also carries a separate diesel generator to power AC appliances when not at the dock, as well as to provide power for on board air conditioning when necessary.  Electronics include a GPS plotting system and radar.


A vacuum toilet, styled after those used in airliners, is an appointment in the head. Corian counter tops are found in the head and galley.    A comfortable dinette is also found below decks as is a separate, forward stateroom convenient for privacy when changing before or after a swim.  


Below decks are well appointed with a teak and holly sole and a generous application of wood throughout.
