Introducing the 1996 Bluewater 60 Pilothouse Ketch, a remarkable offshore cruising yacht designed by Paul Skilowitz and expertly crafted by American Marine Composites in Clearwater, Florida. This vessel is tailored for serious long-range passagemaking and bluewater adventures. With its raised pilothouse design featuring dual steering stations, it offers outstanding visibility and protection in any weather. One helm is located in the sheltered pilothouse, while a second helm in the aft cockpit provides versatility for both offshore cruising and harbor maneuvering.

Inside, the layout accommodates extended cruising with comfort in mind, featuring two forward guest staterooms with five adult berths and a spacious aft owner’s stateroom boasting a queen-sized berth. This arrangement ensures both privacy and comfort, ideal for long passages or liveaboard experiences. In 2010, the yacht received a stunning dark green Awlgrip hull finish, along with upgraded Awlgrip topside paint and non-skid surfaces for enhanced durability and aesthetics. Additionally, a Side-Power bow thruster was installed for easier docking and maneuvering in tight spaces.
