1943 Custom 100' Navy Tug / Liveaboard Conversion / 2019 Re fit

This 100-foot steel tug, built in 1943 as a U.S. Navy vessel, has been thoughtfully converted into a custom liveaboard yacht. The hull is Jones Act compliant, with fair above-water lines and functional trim that creates a comfortable deck angle. Power comes from a single Enterprise DMQ-8 diesel engine rated at 1,000 horsepower, running at 300 rpm with a distinctive low-speed character. The engine sits deep in the steel hull, providing natural stability and fuel efficiency of approximately one gallon per nautical mile at cruising speed around ten knots.

The main deck centers on a forward queen cabin with en-suite head, a complete galley to starboard, and generous dining and gathering spaces aft that include a fireplace and direct access to the quarter deck with BBQ facilities. A convertible settee in the pilothouse, lowered via electric actuators, functions as a fifth queen berth. The focsle deck contains additional cabin space with a tub and fireplace. Below deck accommodates two further queen staterooms with heads, plus dedicated crew quarters for three with separate facilities.

Navigation systems include a Furuno touchscreen display with radar overlay and AIS, supported by redundant Blackbox JRC radar and charting. An autopilot is installed. The engine room is well-appointed with a Scottish boiler, two 20-kilowatt Northern Lights generators, a 40-kilowatt generator for main engine systems, hydraulic pump, MSD, battery banks, inverters, and multiple escape routes. A 2019 refit updated the yacht throughout. Six heads and two galleys serve the accommodation spaces.
