Stephens Flushdeck 1965

Introducing a unique live-aboard slip opportunity for a well-maintained classic yacht, Madman. This vessel has seen continuous upgrades and is in exceptional condition, appealing even to the most discerning shipwrights. Built by Stephens Yachts—renowned for their high-quality craftsmanship from 1902 to 1987—Madman boasts a full beam Pilothouse and custom sliding doors to the aft deck, features not found on other Stephens boats. Launched on April 22, 1965, with Hull M-117, Madman has a fascinating history. Originally commissioned as Marablu for prominent businessman Abe Blumenfeld, she was later known as Polly A before being purchased by music icon Elton John and his business manager, John Reid, in the early 1970s. The yacht was then renamed after Elton's acclaimed album "Madman Across the Water." Over the years, she has undergone several name changes and ownerships, with the most recent acquisition by the Brennan family in January 2022. In 2022, Madman's twin Detroit Diesel 6-71 engines were completely rebuilt, with less than 300 hours of usage since. Highlights include a 9kw Northern Lights Generator, a diesel hydronic furnace, upgraded toilets, a new swim platform, and a range of modern electronics. The vessel is in "Bristol" condition, with a clean and detailed logbook stretching back 25 years, original blueprints, and a comprehensive inventory of spare parts. With the option to transfer the live-aboard slip at Rainier Marina, don't miss this chance to own a truly turn-key classic yacht. Contact the listing broker for more information and to schedule a viewing, as Madman is located offsite.
