Freshwater Cruising Yacht with Extensive Upgrades
Beautifully maintained and stored under cover on the freshwater Tennessee River for the past 13 years, this exceptional cruising yacht has benefited from meticulous ownership and numerous upgrades throughout. Designed with one of the most desirable layouts in her class, she offers the perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and entertaining space for couples, families, or those planning extended cruising adventures.
The spacious interior features two private staterooms and two full heads, each with separate shower stalls for added convenience. The owner's stateroom boasts a walk-around queen berth with an upgraded mattress, while the expansive salon is filled with natural light and offers comfortable reclining seating, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The fully equipped galley features abundant cabinetry, generous countertop space, and a brand-new refrigerator installed in June 2026. Additional storage beneath the companionway stairs makes provisioning for extended trips easy.
Recent interior upgrades include new carpeting with protective covers and a central vacuum system, ensuring comfort and convenience both underway and at the dock.
Outdoor living is equally impressive. The bridge and aft deck provide generous seating for family and guests, with all exterior upholstery—including the bow sun pads—recently replaced. A heavy-duty upgraded isinglass enclosure offers excellent protection from the elements while maintaining outstanding visibility. The aft deck is equipped with a wet bar, ice maker, solid wing doors leading forward, and a dining table, creating an ideal space for entertaining.
The large cockpit, often referred to as the "back porch," provides additional outdoor living space and features a second sliding salon entrance for easy access between indoor and outdoor areas.
At the helm, upgraded Raymarine electronics include radar, GPS, sonar, autopilot, and an integrated backup camera for added confidence while docking and underway. Docking is made even easier with a bow thruster and handheld wireless remote control.
Power is provided by twin Cummins 380 HP diesel engines with approximately 1,130 hours, paired with an Onan 9 kW generator with approximately 1,353 hours. Additional equipment includes a Glendinning retractable 50-amp shore power cord system, an oil change system, new engine mounts, and new cutlass bearings—providing peace of mind for her next owner.
Located on the navigable waters of the Tennessee River in Chattanooga, Tennessee, this beautifully maintained, freshwater yacht is turnkey and ready for her next adventure.
