M/V MONHEGAN

The salon, measuring a massive 30’ by 18’, features a u-shaped bank of 20 windows providing amazing visibility for passengers. Currently set up for serving restaurant style on sightseeing dinner cruises, with areas for dining and dancing. 

Other options for this massive space include being arranged as a cigar bar with clusters of leather club chairs. Or for the organization of gear and seating for fishing charters. Or add a huge comfortable sectional and it could become the main living room area of your new liveaboard.

Around the outside of the salon on both the port and starboard sides, there are walkways leading an open deck area at the bow. These areas are easily accessible to passengers for viewing scenery or casting lines for fishing.

Toward the stern, the salon opens to a full service tavern style bar. The u-shaped bar, which measures 13’ by 6’ by 8’, is fabricated of metal with a gorgeous mahogany top inlaid with interesting photos and maps.

Around the perimeter of the bar are six high top bar tables for more seating and two bathroom facilities.

This area could be used for dining as currently outfitted or the bar could be removed and it could become a traditional dining area as a liveaboard.

Along the port side of the bar area is a commercially equipped galley. It provides ample cabinetry and counter space to accommodate a restaurant’s needs or the those of a professional chef.

Built in are a five burner electric range top with a custom fabricated stainless exhaust hood. In addition, there is a convection oven, sidebyside stainless refrigeratior/freezer, stainless sandwich prep bar, three basin stainless sink, and dishwasher. 

Aft of the bar is a rear door that leads to an inviting covered deck open to passengers for dining, fishing, or even relaxing in a hammock.

The forward upper deck is a very large open space, measuring 46' by 22'. It's perfect for outdoor dining, cocktail parties, an elevated view of the ocean and sights, sunbathing, or another hammock. At the bow is a unique fixed gangway for getting out over the main deck on the second level.

A large fixed canopy, measuring 18' by 16', provides protection from the sun and elements while enjoying all the possible uses of this deck.

Under the canopy is a second full service bar for providing passengers on the upper deck with food and beverages while they enjoy the panoramic views from sun or shade.

Aft of the bar area is a wonderful, enclosed stateroom that could be used for a variety of purposes. The expansive windows make it an ideal space for hosting all kinds of passenger entertainment, such as a private bar/smoking room with a humidor. Prior uses have included extra space for crew preparation as well as a stateroom for overnight accomodations. The layout of this area would allow it to easily be connected to the main salon/bar area.

On each side of the stateroom is a covered deck area and a stairway to the pilothouse.

The stern of the boat has more deck space large enough for some comfortable chairs to relax and enjoy the views. It could be a gated private deck area for the stateroom.

The pilothouse is arranged with a navigation control console forward, which contains electronic navigation and communications equipment, and engine monitoring gauges for rpm, oil pressure and temperature with alarms and fuel flow meter. All controls are within easy view and reach of the operator.

There are bridge wings on both the port and starboard sides of the pilothouse. Each is a remote operating station with steering and engine controls.

Aft of the pilothouse is a 15' x 10' third level deck that could be utilized for crew or passenger use.

Her main propulsion is provided by twin Caterpillar D337 marine diesel engines rated at 250 hp each. Engines are 32VDC start, keel cooled with vertical dry exhausts suitably insulated. Each engine turns a four blade bronze propeller on 4" stainless shaft through CAT 27572 reverse/reduction gears at a 4.4:1 reduction.

The ice void, just forward of the engine room, measures 14' x 19' x 7' and contains a number of features designed to support the operation of a restaurant/tour boat but would be equally advantageous for her use in another capacity, such as a dock-side B&B or a liveaboard. These include both a full walk-in cooler and a full walk-in freezer, each approximately 4' x 5' x 6', commercial A/C compressor units, a restaurant-sized ice machine, and a 40 gallon water heater. In addition, there is a room with a large stand-up shower stall and a washer and dryer area.

Other large holds in the hull are currently used for restaurant equipment, dry goods, life jackets, rope, etc. These areas could have so many other uses as a commercial vessel. Or they could be combined with the ice void to redesigned to accommodate a number of private staterooms.
