Passagemaking power boats must be tough durable vessels capable of enduring the stresses of an ocean passage or crossing. They must be stable rugged vessels that can withstand the onslaught of an angry sea. Robert Beebe provides sage advice for the strength and stability guidelines for a true Passagemaker. All of our boats are designed to meet or exceed these guidelines and our experienced craftsmen utilize only quality materials to create our rugged, solid boats.

Our engine selections allow for the most reliable engines available. Redundant systems are included in the design such as a generator driven get home system, back up water pump and back up chargers. Critical equipment like the windlass, davit, and thrusters are hydraulically driven for durability and power.

But, at Seaforth Marine we also believe that passagemaking goes beyond that. We believe that the captain and crew should not have to “ENDURE” the rigors of passagemaking underway or at your destination. After all, a cruising boat will spend a significant part of its life at an exotic port of call or a quiet, scenic, remote anchorage. Passagemaking is a lifestyle so why not live it to its fullest! Luxurious, warm, comfortable accommodations are a major design and construction emphasis. Comfort and convenience and livability are as important as rugged stability. They need not be separate or exclusive.

We have eliminated steep dangerous ladders and utilized comfortable and protected stairs. Window sill heights allow great visibility without compromising safety. Wet lockers are available to stow and dry wet cruising gear. Home style appliances make the transition from home to boat comfortable and functional. Wall panels are a combination of fabric and wood for a luxurious feel, control sound, and allow access to critical components such as wiring and plumbing. Heating, cooling, electrical and plumbing equipment are designed and selected to maximize comfort and livability. Bow and stern thrusters eliminate the stress of close maneuvering. Stabilizers provide for a comfortable ride in a seaway. Hand rails and hand holds are provided to make movement in a sea safe and easy.

Passagemaking is a lifestyle, let us help you live it.
