1969 Derecktor 68 Hunt Motor Yacht

This 68-foot aluminum motor yacht was built by Derecktor in 1969 and represents a significant piece of American yacht design. The boat is powered by twin CAT diesel engines producing 1700 horsepower, delivering a cruising speed of 19 knots and a top speed of 22 knots. Her 16-foot beam provides a solid, seaworthy platform for extended cruising.

The interior includes three cabins and three heads, offering comfortable accommodation for extended passages. The layout reflects the thoughtful design principles Derecktor was known for during this era, balancing functionality with livability in a compact footprint.

The boat underwent a major refit in 2007 that included structural extension and engine upgrade, followed by continuous maintenance and improvements. Recent work in 2024 and 2025 has focused on systems refresh and reliability: new generator, life raft, EPIRB, air handler, tank monitoring system, bottom paint, anodes, propulsion seals, shaft seals, stabilizer seals, bilge pump, engine alignment, and start batteries. This systematic approach to maintenance demonstrates attentiveness to the yacht's operational readiness and longevity.
