1983 Knight & Carver Custom Trideck

Step aboard and you feel immediately how this trideck was laid out by people who actually live on the water. The beam carries all the way forward, so passageways are generous and you’re not crab-walking around furniture. The separation between guest spaces and crew quarters gives everyone privacy when you’ve got a full house aboard. Big windows on every level keep the interior bright, and the upper decks drink in the breeze so you’re not relying on air-conditioning alone to stay comfortable. Her hull form and weight give a reassuring, steady feel at the dock and underway, and wide side decks with serious railings make moving fore and aft safe even with kids or guests who are new to boats.

For local waters where boating is as much about gathering as it is about going, this custom trideck shines. Shallow approaches, crowded anchorages, and busy waterways reward a platform that’s stable, wide, and easy to move around on, and the 28-foot beam delivers exactly that. Multiple outdoor lounging areas mean you can follow the shade or the breeze as the day heats up, while the huge interior lets you escape sudden squalls without cutting the party short. Long weekends turn into weeks thanks to her liveaboard-friendly layout, abundant cold storage, and systems sized for extended time away from the dock.
