Mainship 34 Mk1 for sale in Gulfport, Florida United States of America

New to the Market! Introducing Pappy’s Retreat!

This spacious vessel is one of the best boats for its size, comfort, and reliability. The shallow draft is a sailor’s dream in the skinny waters of the Bahamas and throughout Florida. 

Pappy’s Retreat is a classic 34 MK 1 model and ready for cruising or as a live-aboard. Located in Gulfport, she is just a day or two cruise to Bimini or to the Florida Keys!

This vessel is the perfect blend of performance and comfort, ensuring its passengers with an economical, safe and reliable day on the water. The very reliable and efficient Yanmar 6LPA-STP2 mechanical 315hp will burn approximately 3 gallons per hour while trawling at 7-8 knots, or alternatively, can be throttled up to plaining speeds reaching 12-16 knots depending on tides. This 2006 repowered engine is the largest and best engine these boats were equipped with, paired with its low hours at just under 1040 hours.
