“A LIT’L BEHIND” is the newest Bluewater coastal cruiser yacht to the market. This vessel has been kept by a meticulous owner with an open checkbook. She has been captain maintained and professionally cleaned on a regular basis; she very well could be the cleanest Bluewater on the market today. Kept in freshwater most of her life her current owners transferred her to the Tampa Bay area to enjoy the beautiful gulf waters on a truly magnificent yacht. With her massive top deck above and her large two stateroom layout with third room with bunk beds below, entertaining a large group of friends or family is the norm for this vessel. The Bluewater boast a full galley with full size refrigerator, trash compactor, dishwasher and microwave. Along side the galley is the dining room with seating for eight comfortably. Make your way to the aft stateroom and your guest will be surprised at the privacy and room of the rear stateroom. Next to the rear staterooms is the third room that has two bunk beds made for the kids but large enough that two adults would be comfortable. Directly across from the third room is the built in washer and dryer that is a must have for spending long weekends out cruising. As you move forward to the massive front stateroom you will find that you will have more than enough room to have a very comfortable and relaxing voyage. The cedar lined closets give this vessel the added touch of luxury. Directly behind the forward master stateroom is the cockpit. This vessel boasts inside controls as well as a full bridge to operate the vessel from.
Brokers Remarks: This is truly a very well kept and clean vessel. With only 143 hours on her she has been used extensively on the hook and has been completely updated. A few of her updates include new fuel tanks, new refrigerator, all the heads changed out to freshwater in 2007. New impeller and servicing of genset in 2007. A/C’s serviced and maintained in 2006 along with bottom being done with vessel hauled out. All service records are available and all work has been documented as current owner has spared no expense in the upkeep of this vessel. If you have been looking for a clean Bluewater with low hours on her and has been kept like a 150’ yacht this is her. Come by and take a look at her today and you will be impressed.
A little history from Bluewater yachts, “While numerous companies have copied Bluewater Yachts’ innovations over the years, there isn’t another yacht on the market like a Bluewater. And we are different by design. Safety in luxury is our goal, and we believe that we are the safest mid-sized motor yacht on the market. Our streamlined design is sleek and sexy (we haven’t been called a “babe magnet” by the press for nothing). Our attention to detail and old-world craftsmanship is rooted in times past. And our innovation in engineering and technology is cutting edge.
The legacy of our founder, Jim Klapmeier, was his scrutiny of the boating industry. He surveyed an industry saturated with sportfishing boats, high-performance boats, sailing boats and family runabouts. Yet there was one segment where the industry was literally missing the boat. Successful, motivated, self-starting men and women who were interested in piloting a pleasure cruising boat themselves without a crew were searching for a boat in which they could be confident in all weather conditions. They wanted a boat that would be easy to handle at sea, yet would also be able to be nosed up on a sandy beach. They wanted a boat with luxurious décor and furnishings that would make them feel at home and make entertaining guests effortless. The trouble was traditional yachts couldn’t give them what they wanted.
To build a boat superior in design and safety, Bluewater did a thorough investigation of existing yachts. The biggest problem, they discovered, was that most boats have too much freeboard (the distance between the water line and the uppermost full deck). As a result, the center of gravity is very high, which accounts for difficult handling in rough water, especially for new or inexperienced boaters.
The most stable boat designs with less freeboard and a center of gravity closer to the water were inflatable’s, racing boats and sailboats. The big question was: How could you attain this same level of stability in a large motoryacht? The answer: Move the engine.
In conventional yachts, living space is usually built up over the engine room. This raises the center of gravity, requires steps going up and down into front and rear areas, and dedicates about one-fourth of the boat’s square footage to the engine room.
The Bluewater design team decided to break the rules. They moved the engine from the center to the outward extremities of the boat, reduced the space required for the engine, yet kept the power plant serviceable. By using smaller compartments and the finest sound deadening materials, engine noise was reduced so much; the low decibel reading in the salon quickly became the talk of the industry.
The Bluewater team wanted their new boat to be able to be operated safely in the ocean under all weather conditions, even by a novice boater. When moving downwind, most yachts tend to broach, or veer broadside in the wind and waves. The nose ends up submerged, the front deck becomes a plaining surface, and suddenly the rear of the boat is out of the water, often with disastrous results.
In their design, the Bluewater team intentionally made the front of the boat wide and beamy to minimize broaching. When downward forces are exerted, the bow lifts, keeping the front deck from operating as a plane and keeping the propellers in the water where they belong. In test after test, the Bluewater design has proven superior to the hull design of traditional yachts.
A Bluewater yacht is not meant to be an ocean racer, but a smooth running boat that performs exceedingly well and safe when one is unexpectedly caught in even rougher conditions. A Bluewater yacht cuts through and planes on top of the water. It has an excellent horsepower to speed rating for a boat of this size. No Bluewater yacht has even been lost to the seas (even the ones caught in Hurricane Hugo), and as far as we know, each and every one is in operation today.
We are not the yacht for someone who wants to look like everybody else. We are the critical thinking person’s yacht-someone who understands the nature of the sea enough to look beyond conventional styles and appreciate an unconventional design which makes more sense”.
