Description
A tax paid LLC owned classic trawler located in the heart of Seattle with transferrable, covered, liveaboard moorage. Tired of fighting traffic in and out of town or looking for affordable housing? This may be a solution for you. American Marine was a trend setter in boating during the ‘60’s and 70’s with their Alaskan line featuring pilothouse and Portuguese bridge. A new version of this classic will set you back millions, but you can still experience the dream at a fraction of the price. And it has the benefit of an amazing slip located next to the Freemon Bridge. You can sit on the foredeck and watch the marine world go by from a rowing scull to ocean going vessels under tow headed to the locks. Or if you decide to head out cruising you will do so in comfort and style. The boating dream is alive and well!
Accommodations
The large aft deck features BBQ and wet bar and room to entertain. Stepping forward into the main salon and galley area you will find a couch for comfortable lounging while reading or watching TV. There are two stools at the breakfast bar overlooking the modern galley.
From the main salon you step up towards the pilothouse but as you do you will pass the captains quarters. This space includes the laundry machine as well the wine cooler and a large bunk perfect for a quick nap. The pilothouse is large with large windows and features a U-shaped settee so your guests can keep you company while underway. Doors to either side allow quick access to the side and foredeck.
Stairs will take you down to the staterooms featuring a full beam owner’s cabin with ensuite bath. This stateroom features walk around queen berth, ample storage and updated finishes. The VIP guest cabin is forward and features sleeping for two, and a day head. The flybridge and boat deck have room for all your toys as well as seating for 6 adults and a bimini keeps you in the shade.
