Vessel Walkthrough Boat can be entered from swim platform, aft deck or either Walkaround sidedeck. From full beam swim platform is short ladder up to main full beam aft deck. Note there are full walkaround sidedecks port and starboard. Aft deck provides one of three outdoor lounging areas. There is a large opening picture window in the aft section of the lower salon looking out over this area and downtown. Moving forward on either sidedeck is the forward/bow deck. This area features fore and aft built in settees with NEW SUNBRELLA FABRIC with room for a dining table in between. Moving aft from this deck on starboard side is the main entrance to upper salon through sliding glass picture door. This bright and airy upper area features the helm slightly to starboard, large armoire for extra clothing and sundries storage, desk work area and stairwell down to day/master head and queen master stateroom. Moving down stairwell (located forward and to port) is the freshly renovated day head/master head featuring bathtub/shower combination, new marine head and new vanity/sink/faucet set. This is handy for day guests and also convenient to the main stateroom located aft of the head. The stateroom is a very cozy non standup area featuring built-in drawers and closet storage as well as queen bed. The genius of the Holiday mansion 38 is that priority is given to a large open sense of space in the living areas with the tradeoff sacrifice of headroom where the primary activity is sleeping anyway. Moving aft from the main entry area is a step down to starboard to the lower salon featuring very cozy and welcoming country galley, entertainment area and lounge seating for owner and guests. Going back to the aft-deck is a short ladder to port leading up to the expansive 2-Tiered sun/observation deck. This area is guaranteed to be the favorite warm season hangout featuring L-Shaped upholstered couch and propane fire pit as well as more than ample room for additional chairs. Up a small step is the upper Sundeck featuring a queen sun bed. Engine room is accessed from a hatch in the aft deck.

This area features newer couch, entertainment area with flat screen TV and country L-Shaped galley.

The feeling engendered is that of being on a much larger boat!

Broker's Comments This totally renovated Holiday Mansion is a MUST SEE for anyone wishing to get into the liveaboard and cruising lifestyle. Take it from this 35-Year liveaboard veteran!!! This boat is the perfect starter liveaboard for anyone who has heard the beckoning call of waterfront living! For a fraction of the cost of a waterfront condo, and a richer ON THE WATER experience, you can gain entry to this fabulous lifestyle for very short money. At this price point you could even try it for a year and if you don’t like it I will sell it for you for at least what you paid and probably even more due to both increased demand for liveaboard boats ALREADY LOCATED IN BOSTON and scarcity of such inventory.
Finally-this boat, UNLIKE most other houseboats, can actually be driven places! Take your home out for a night at anchor or a harbor mooring or cruise to another marina for a week or two summer vacation! No need to pack-just move your house! Been doing it for 35-Years and it can’t be beat! Call me for an informative discussion and a potential showing!
Exclusions 3-Year old Zodiac tender with 50hp Yamaha engine.
