100 Navy Tug Liveaboard Conversion 2019 Re fit 1943

Introducing the Red Cloud, a stunning 100-foot naval vessel featuring a robust steel hull constructed in the USA and compliant with the Jones Act. This former WWII US Navy ship has been expertly transformed into a custom excursion yacht, receiving a significant refit in 2019. It boasts five comfortable guest staterooms, each with its own head, along with two fully equipped galleys, perfect for entertaining. Named after an American Indian Chief, Red Cloud showcases elegant above-water lines reminiscent of early 1900s fantail yachts, complemented by a functional and comfortable deck angle. Powered by the original Enterprise DMQ-8 engine, which produces 1,000 hp at 300 rpm, she offers an authentic experience akin to a steam engine, cruising smoothly at about ten knots while consuming just a gallon per nautical mile. The vessel's 49-ton engine is securely nestled deep within the steel hull, ensuring exceptional stability and a pleasant ride that guests will surely appreciate. Navigating from the bridge is made effortless with a state-of-the-art Furuno touchscreen system equipped with chart overlay radar and class A-AIS information, complete with autopilot capabilities. Redundant Blackbox JRC radar and charting systems enhance safety. The pilot house features a six-place settee with eight bronze port lights, which can be automatically converted into an additional queen berth, increasing sleeping capacity by 20%. Access to the boat deck is convenient via centerline stairs leading to the main deck, complemented by ladders on both sides and a staircase at the aft. The main deck includes a queen berth 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 aft section features a cozy dining area with a fireplace, while the aft mast defines the main salon, boasting large passenger port lights and a window hatch. Doors lead below deck and to the quarter deck galley, making it the perfect spot for BBQs and entertaining. The focsle cabin, accessed by a centerline staircase, includes a tub, fireplace, and two escape routes, with a door leading to the engine room. The engine room houses essential equipment, including a Scottish boiler, hot water systems, DC electric board, two Northern Lights 20kW generators, and a third 40kW generator for main engine systems. There are also oil tanks, filters, electric transfer pumps, a USCG approved MSD, battery banks, inverters, and an isolation transformer, all with multiple escape routes for safety. Aft of the center door are queen staterooms with heads, leading to stairs back up to the main deck, as well as crew quarters for three and an additional head. This remarkable vessel stands as one of the finest examples of wartime craftsmanship, and its numerous qualities can hardly be captured in words.
