Cherubini 50 Independence 1998

The 50 Independence Trawler, INSPIRATION, showcases the esteemed Cherubini design, crafted with experienced boaters in mind and built to exceptional standards. Manufactured by Cherubini Yachts in Delran, New Jersey, and highlighted in POWER & MOTORYACHT magazine, INSPIRATION stands out as one of the finest and best-maintained vessels in its class. Ideal for adventures like The Great Loop (with a 14'2" air draft when the arch and bimini are lowered), as well as cruising in the Bahamas, Gulf, and Intracoastal waters, this trawler is equipped with twin 2020/21 Cummins 6BTA 5.9 370 HP diesel engines for efficient and versatile performance, cruising smoothly at 9 knots and reaching a top speed of 15 knots. The vessel features stabilization and a bow thruster, with a fuel capacity of 600 gallons, 300 gallons of freshwater, and an 80-gallon blackwater tank, making it fully cruise-equipped and 'turnkey.' INSPIRATION presents itself as a much newer yacht, thanks to extensive upgrades and a $350,000 refit investment, including new engines and transmissions, modern stabilizers, marine air conditioning, updated galley appliances, new electronics, a dinghy with an outboard, and a freshly painted hull. The 2024 Condition and Valuation Survey Report notes its 'Above Average Condition,' highlighting the vessel's meticulous maintenance and numerous significant upgrades that enhance its appearance, utility, and reliability. Extensive service records are available, along with recent listing photos. Lee and Dave Cherubini have taken the classic Hans Christian powerboat design and integrated valuable customer feedback to realize key design and construction features. The interior boasts two staterooms and two heads, a fully enclosed raised pilothouse, and a spacious galley. With over six feet of headroom throughout, the beautiful woodwork and ample storage create a roomy atmosphere. The expansive saloon and galley take full advantage of the nearly fifteen-foot beam, while the clever design allows safe movement around the vessel with easy access from the pilothouse to the foredeck. The large aft deck is accessible via steps or directly from the saloon, allowing for secure docking and locking. The upper deck is perfect for dinghy storage and launching, complete with a flybridge helm and seating. The raised pilothouse features a six-foot bench seat that can convert to a berth and offers excellent visibility through large windows. The master stateroom is positioned at the bow with a centerline double berth and spacious head with an individual shower. The guest stateroom includes twin berths, with an additional berth that can be deployed, while the guest and day head is conveniently located opposite. Engine room access is made easy with multiple hatches. The 50 model enhances the saloon and aft deck space compared to the Independence 45, showcasing how a few extra feet can significantly impact design. Key features include solid fiberglass below the waterline, aluminum fuel tanks, and a painted hull with Awlcraft 2000. The vessel is equipped with a Nick Jackson electric davit rated at 800 pounds, a Highfield CL310 dinghy, and dual anchors with extensive anchoring gear. Other highlights include a Side-Power bow thruster, Gyro-Gale active fin stabilizers, an Onan 9KW generator, and a thorough array of pilothouse and flybridge electronics. The owner typically enjoys cruising at over 8 knots while consuming just six gallons per hour across both engines. For those interested, additional details and photos are readily available. The vessel is currently berthed inland in Jacksonville, Florida, on the St. Johns River, conveniently located near local airports and interstates.
