1959 Monk Express Cruiser

This 1959 Monk Express Cruiser is a 40-foot wooden-hulled cruiser built with generous proportions and thoughtful layout. The boat combines functional deck space with an elegant low profile and refined lines characteristic of mid-century design. A single Volvo diesel engine rated at 286 horsepower powers the yacht, delivering a cruising speed of 12 knots and a top speed of 17 knots.

Below deck, the layout flows from the wheelhouse through a galley and dining area, taking advantage of the beam to create open sightlines and comfortable movement throughout. The single cabin and head provide accommodations for extended cruising. The broad aft deck offers generous outdoor entertaining space, balancing the boat's below-deck comfort with topside usability.
