This 1988 Tollycraft 44 is a well-designed coastal cruiser built for extended passages. The boat features twin Caterpillar diesel engines rated at 1,500 hp combined, delivering cruising speeds around 16 knots and a top speed of 22 knots. The design includes both upper and lower helm stations, offering flexible control options, while an aft cockpit provides easy boarding and a comfortable fishing platform. Wide side decks and a flybridge with full enclosure add to the versatility of outdoor and operating spaces.
The interior showcases warm teak paneling throughout, with a functional salon featuring a lower helm station, large windows, and comfortable seating. The galley is U-shaped with stainless steel sinks and substantial cabinetry. Sleeping accommodations include a forward V-berth with guest capacity, an aft master cabin with a center queen bed, a convertible dinette that drops down for two, and a pull-out sofa—comfortably sleeping four to six. The boat has two heads: a forward freshwater Vacuflush and an aft electric head with shower.
Climate control is well addressed with three air conditioning units and an 8.5 kW generator that runs reliably. Fresh air circulation benefits from wide sliding salon windows, side and rear doors, and two Bomar hatches in the aft cabin. Water capacity is 140 gallons; fuel tanks hold 450 gallons of diesel in aluminum construction described as being in good condition. A Highfield dinghy with a 6 hp Tohatsu motor is equipped with an electric winch for launching.
The boat carries spare propellers, a spare shaft, and additional backup parts suitable for long-distance cruising. The bottom was painted in May. Four house batteries power DC systems, and an icemaker provides cold storage.
