1977 Morgan 51 Out Island

The Morgan 51 Out Island is a classic fiberglass ketch built in 1977, measuring 51 feet in length with a 16-foot beam. Powered by a single 150-horsepower John Deere diesel engine, she combines the seaworthiness and easy-handling ketch rig characteristic of the Out Island design with a voluminous interior and stable platform. The boat holds US Coast Guard commercial passenger certification and is configured to accommodate groups on the water.

Her interior layout is organized around comfort and functionality for multiple guests, with one head and flexible accommodations throughout. The open deck design and dual-sail ketch configuration allow for manageable handling during group operations, whether for instructional moments or event hosting. The stable hull and generous beam make her forgiving in varying water conditions.

This Morgan has an operational track record on San Francisco Bay, where she has been actively used for charter services. The commercial certification represents completed safety upgrades and Coast Guard inspections, distinguishing her from standard private yachts in her class.
