FULL SPECIFICATIONS

Overview

From the Great Loop to the turquoise waters of the Exumas, this American-made, single-engine pilothouse yacht is built for long-range cruising and liveaboard comfort. Designed by Gary Grant and James Backus and expertly crafted by the Cherubini yard in Delran, NJ, this vessel features a form-stable hull with a long keel, molded-in stringers, and a hard chine aft—eliminating the need for stabilizers. Powered by a dependable Cummins 450hp 8.3L 6CTA Diamond diesel engine, she offers an impressive range of approximately 1,800 nautical miles at 7.6 knots, sipping fuel at just 4.5 GPH.

Below, the spacious saloon and galley feature a built-in sofa, fold-away dining table, entertainment center, wine cooler, freezer, and a washer/dryer. The U-shaped galley is fully outfitted with Quartzite countertops, an oversized Blanco sink, four-burner gas stove/oven, microwave, and a full-size Summit refrigerator/freezer.

Aft, enjoy an L-shaped settee with hi-low table, custom stools, and wide-opening windows that flood the space with natural light. Large deck hatches provide easy engine room access. Double glass doors with screens open to a fully enclosed aft deck, complete with transom door and swim platform featuring safety rails and a drop-down swim ladder.

Accommodations include a guest stateroom with convertible bunks/office setup, a guest head with vanity and portlight, and a spacious forward owner’s suite with walkaround queen berth, ensuite head, separate shower with built-in bench, overhead hatch, and generous storage.

Topside, wide walkaround decks lead to the upper deck, equipped with dinghy, davit, and a summer kitchen featuring a sink and built-in ice chest—perfect for outdoor entertaining.
