100 Navy Tug Liveaboard Conversion 2019 Re fit 1943

Introducing Red Cloud, a stunning 100-foot naval vessel featuring a sturdy USA-built steel hull and compliant with the Jones Act. Converted into a luxurious excursion yacht, she underwent an extensive refit in 2019, offering five guest staterooms, each with en-suite heads, and two well-equipped galleys. This WWII US Navy vessel is named after the renowned American Indian Chief and boasts elegant above-water lines reminiscent of a 1900s fantail yacht, paired with a comfortable deck angle for an enjoyable experience. Powered by the original Enterprise DMQ-8 engine, she generates an impressive 1,000 hp at 300 rpm, delivering a harmonious sound while cruising at approximately ten knots, using just a gallon of fuel per nautical mile. The engine's deep placement within the steel hull ensures exceptional natural stability, providing a smooth ride that passengers appreciate. Commanding Red Cloud from the bridge is a breeze, thanks to a state-of-the-art Furuno touchscreen with chart overlay radar and class A-AIS capabilities, complete with autopilot. The pilot house features a six-place settee with eight bronze port lights, which can be effortlessly converted into a queen berth, enhancing the sleeping capacity by 20%. Access to the boat deck is easy via centerline stairs leading to the main deck, with additional ladders on either side and a staircase at the aft. The main deck includes a queen berth at the front with an en-suite head, as well as a complete galley to starboard, a central enclosed fidley walkway, and a laundry area with beverage cabinets to port. The dining space at the rear includes a cozy fireplace, with the main salon defined by the aft mast, large passenger port lights, and a window hatch. There are doors leading down to the lower deck and the quarter deck galley, which serves as a favored gathering spot for BBQs and entertaining. The focsle cabin is accessible via a centerline staircase and includes a tub, fireplace, and two escape routes. The engine room is conveniently located at the aft, featuring a Scottish boiler, hot water system, DC electric board, two Northern Lights 20kW generators, and a hydraulic pump. A third 40kW generator supports the main engine systems. The starboard side houses the main engine oil tank, filters, electric oil and fuel transfer pumps, a USCG-approved MSD, battery banks, inverters, a 12kva isolation transformer, and a backup rectifier, with four escape routes from the engine space. Moving through the center door at the aft leads to the port and starboard queen staterooms, each with their own heads. Beyond are the stairs to the main deck, along with crew accommodations for three, a second head, and another sink, all featuring two escape routes. Red Cloud stands as one of the finest surviving examples of wartime craftsmanship, and her numerous qualities are truly too many to list.
