100 Navy Tug Liveaboard Conversion 2019 Re fit 1943

Introducing the Red Cloud, a stunning 100-foot naval vessel with a robust USA-built steel hull that meets Jones Act compliance. This ship has been expertly transformed into a luxurious excursion yacht, having undergone an extensive refit in 2019. Designed for comfort, it features five guest staterooms, each with en-suite heads, and two well-appointed galleys. This WWII US Navy vessel is named after the esteemed American Indian Chief and boasts elegant above-water lines reminiscent of a 1900s fantail yacht, complemented by a functional and comfortable deck angle. Driven by the original Enterprise DMQ-8 engine that produces 1,000 hp at 300 rpm, the Red Cloud offers a unique experience akin to a steam engine, gliding through the water at around ten knots with impressive fuel efficiency. With a 49-ton engine nestled deep in its steel hull, the vessel guarantees exceptional stability for a smooth journey, ensuring passengers always enjoy a comfortable ride. Navigational command is facilitated from the bridge, equipped with a cutting-edge Furuno touchscreen featuring chart overlay radar and Class A AIS information, along with autopilot capabilities. Redundant JRC radar and charting systems further enhance safety. The pilot house features a six-place settee with eight bronze port lights, which can be conveniently transformed into a fifth queen berth via electric actuators, increasing sleeping capacity by 20%. Access to the boat deck is made easy with centerline stairs leading to the main deck, complemented by ladders on either side and a staircase at the aft. The main deck includes a queen berth with an en-suite head located forward, along with a complete galley to starboard, a central enclosed fidley walkway, a head, and laundry facilities with beverage cabinets to port. The aft area is designated for dining and relaxation, featuring a cozy fireplace, while the aft mast enhances the main salon with large passenger port lights and a window hatch that invites in natural light. The focsle cabin, accessible via a centerline staircase, boasts a tub, a fireplace, and two escape routes. The engine room, located aft, includes a Scottish boiler, hot water system, DC electric board, two Northern Lights 20kW generators, and a hydraulic pump. A third 40kW generator powers the main engine systems. The starboard side consists of the main engine oil tank, filter, 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. Through the center door aft, you will find the port and starboard queen staterooms with heads, along with stairs leading back to the main deck. Further aft, there is crew space for three, complete with another head and sink, and two escape routes for crew safety. The Red Cloud is a remarkable testament to wartime craftsmanship, and its incredible features are too numerous to capture fully in writing. We invite you to schedule a visit and experience the charm of the Red Cloud for yourself.
