1988 Bluewater Yachts 55 Coastal Cruiser

This 1988 Bluewater 55 Coastal Cruiser is a fiberglass houseboat built on a shallow-draft cruiser hull with a 14-foot beam. Twin 7.4-liter Crusader gasoline engines with 2,371 hours deliver the power. The boat features a cruiser-style hull design with fully molded decks, stainless steel railings, a custom bow ladder, and windlass. The upper helm offers straightforward controls with visibility in all directions, and a large Bimini Top provides sun protection. The expansive upper deck takes full advantage of the 14-foot beam, offering ample space for seating, dining, and entertaining.

The main deck centers on a teak interior with an open salon featuring large windows and contemporary furnishings. The galley is equipped with a large refrigerator, three-burner cooktop with oven, microwave, and stainless steel sink. A dinette sits opposite the galley and can serve multiple purposes. Marine Air and heat maintain comfort underway, while a Westerbeke generator powers the systems when anchored.

Accommodations include a VIP stateroom at the bow with good headroom and a separate guest head with shower, and an owner's stateroom aft with a large bed, substantial storage, and an ensuite head with shower and tub. Both heads have been updated with electric flush toilets. Cushions throughout are in good condition with custom covers, and the Bimini Top is well-maintained. The aft swim platform features a substantial stainless rail system and plenty of deck space for water activities.
