Overview

"Tortuga" is a beautifully converted aft pilothouse steel shrimper hull that is setup perfectly for a private mothership operation for Chandeleur Island fishing and an excellent long-range cruiser due to her 2000-gallon fuel capacity and comfortable accommodations. Professional conversion to yacht use in 2003 with tongue and groove walls and mahogany trim interior.

Exterior commercial fishing equipment removed and forward fish hold converted to master stateroom with private head and guest stateroom with twin bunks at that time. Spacious salon has L-shaped seating with table starboard and couch to port with centerline helm and Galley aft. Day/Guest head is across from the Galley and there are access doors port, starboard, and aft. Central air conditioning unit keeps Tortuga comfortable on long cruises.

Cummins 215hp diesel engine is freshwater keel cooled with dry stack exhaust and was recently rebuilt with low hours. Bow and stern thusters for easy docking. Vessel dry docked in Spring of 2024 for hull maintenance, zincs, and bottom paint. Topside paint was also renewed in 2024.
