1988 PT 52 AFT Cabin Motor Yacht

This 1988 PT 52 aft cabin motor yacht represents solid construction from Taiwan's golden era of trawler-style cruisers. The fiberglass hull features a modified-V design with a wide 15.75-foot beam, providing stability and generous interior volume. Twin Caterpillar 3208-TA diesel engines deliver 280 horsepower each, enabling cruising speeds of 8–10 knots with a top speed of 12–14 knots. The classic exterior includes a raised pilothouse, expansive aft deck, commanding flybridge with full enclosure, and high bulwarks with teak cap rails for safe foredeck passage.

The layout prioritizes livability across two cabins and two heads. The aft master stateroom offers a full-beam walkaround queen with en-suite shower, while the forward guest stateroom provides a full berth with separate head access. The main salon features teak joinery, generous seating, entertainment center, and wet bar, with a covered aft deck ideal for entertaining. The galley below includes a full-size refrigerator, three-burner Mediterranean gas stove, dishwasher, stainless microwave, and ample storage suited for extended cruising. A separate dinette completes the social spaces.

Current systems reflect recent investment: six lithium house batteries with full monitoring, Victron charger, Northern Lights 12 kW generator with 900 hours of service, and a recently upgraded stainless hot water heater. Navigation and monitoring equipment includes updated Raymarine Axiom electronics, forward and aft-facing Raymarine cameras, and a FLIR MD-324 thermal camera. Onboard conveniences include a Bio Bidet head with remote control, washer/dryer, dishwasher, and four flatscreen televisions throughout. A Yacht Thruster 400 Duplex bow thruster, Maxwell Nilsson windlass, and 1500-pound Nick Jackson crane davit support handling and maneuvering. A Bullfrog 11-foot dinghy with Honda outboard is included.
