1988 Custom Winston Knauss 64 Dinner or Party Boat

This 64-foot steel party and dinner boat was built in 1988 as part of a series designed for charter service. The hull is 20 feet in the beam, providing substantial space for entertaining large groups. Power comes from twin Cummins diesel engines with pod drives, though these have been removed and are currently stored separately.

For the past decade, the boat has served as a yacht club clubhouse rather than in active service. The twin pod drives were taken out and stored, through-hull fittings have been plated over, and domestic systems have been added including water systems, a boiler, and air-conditioning handlers. The main machinery remains in place.

The boat's current condition and configuration reflect its clubhouse use. It could be relocated by tow to another location for continued service as a floating venue, or taken to a boatyard for restoration to active cruising, comprehensive refit, or other repurposing. Regional boatyards in New Jersey and Connecticut are equipped to undertake work at any level of complexity.
