This steel 96' long-range cruiser is our third project for this San Diego client. His previous two vessels were smaller versions of this serious ocean sportfisher.

Built as a serious offshore fishing platform, she has a 5,000-mile range at 9 knots and a top speed of 12 knots. This yacht has all the features that have become a standard of for long range offshore cruisers; heavy steel construction in excess of ABS requirements for Unrestricted Offshore Use, fixed/active stabilizers, model-tested fuel-efficient hull, full collision and watertight bulkheads, and twin screws in protected shaft skegs. Power is supplied by twin 385 hp diesels and electricity from twin 32 kw Northern Lights gensets.

Accommodations include a large owner's stateroom and three guest cabins plus crew quarters forward. The main deck features wide side decks and includes a spacious main salon, separate dinette, and galley, all made possible by the 26 foot beam. Forward and up 4 steps is the pilothouse with helmseat and settee, extensive electronics, and a convenient day head.

The large fishing cockpit is 15 ft. long overlooked by a 11 ft. Lanai deck for the observers. Fishing is the focus of this area of the yacht, with a large bait center located on deck and with freezer holds for the catch below deck.

This comfortable and practical yacht is designed to exceed our client's expectations for fishing and cruising performance.
