Classic 1954 53' Chris-Craft Constellation -Custom Trips - Comes with Captain
If you ever desire to swim in Tribune Bay off Hornby Island and visit the village on Hornby or checkout Desolation Sound or visit Chatterbox Falls, the Broughton Archipelago cruising in a comfortable and beautiful classic wooden yacht, here is your chance. Minimum 2 day trips schedule is flexible as are locations to suit your schedule, what you would like to go see/visit and the weather. This is a classic wooden yacht beautifully cared for, so your stay is cruising within the protected waters of the Salish Sea, anchored in sheltered bays with access to beaches and shore via RIB and kayaks.
The price includes the boat with captain, access/use of a 5-person RIB skiff, use of 3 kayaks, and all the fuel used in cruising and the boat comes with Starlink and the price includes use of Starlink. You bring the food and drink you want and you can prepare it or for a catered trip contact me if you want me to supply and make meals and we can negotiate a price for this. There is an apartment-sized fridge/freezer.
There is a coffee grinder, espresso machine, microwave oven, 3 burner stove and oven, toaster, all the kitchen essentials. There is a smart TV with DVD (with DVDs), but with the addition of Starlink, streaming services on your device are also available.
There is only a single washroom that we would all share, it has a shower to have a quick rinse off, this is a listing for an old wood yacht to go cruising the Salish Sea not a luxury yacht but you won't find a more beautiful classic yacht to go cruise the coast of BC to some fantastic destinations.
Note the stern stateroom has a large queen bed, and 2 twins can be accommodated on the sides where there are benches for seating (the benches cover where the exhaust pipes from the engines run out the back of the boat). So normally, it is just a queen bed, but if you have others that room can fit in two twins on the sides, it would be a bit tight but is doable. I would need to know ahead of time to organize the two side beds.
There are closets in both bedrooms to keep your things organized.
The boat has a large front deck and a very comfortable large covered back deck suitable for 12 people (event like a wedding), swim deck and kayaks. There is a 5 person RIB skiff and all the life jackets and safety devices common for a boat, dual VHF radios, chart plotter, and radar. etc.
Dual Perkins M135 engines push this cruiser at about 7.5 knots. Up to 8 Hrs of Cruising Time per day is allocated, which equates to a range of about 110km per day.
If you are interested in the history of the boat, the previous owner had put a story board together as he did a lot of restoration work on it before we purchased it. I've posted pictures in the ad. If you had specific questions or want to learn more on possible trips and itineries you can reach me on WhatsApp at +16046033393
Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a refrigerator, and a microwave.
