1989 Tollycraft 44 CPMY

Step aboard and you immediately feel why these classic cockpit motoryachts are so sought after. The wide side decks and stout rails make moving fore and aft secure, even when you’re juggling fenders or a dock line. The aft deck, just a couple of steps from the salon, becomes an all-weather den with room for proper chairs, not just folding camp seats. Below, the two-stateroom, two-head layout gives real privacy for guests, and the separation between cabins keeps night owls and early risers from clashing. Engine access is surprisingly civilized, so daily checks don’t turn into a yoga session. It’s the kind of boat that feels manageable for a couple, yet big enough to welcome friends for weeks at a time.

A 44-foot cockpit motoryacht with a modest draft and efficient diesels is tailor-made for this region’s mix of skinny backwaters, open sounds, and near-shore passages. The hull form softens a short chop while still tracking well in following seas, so long days between harbors stay comfortable. The sheltered aft deck and flybridge give you two command centers: one for breezy fair-weather driving, one protected when the afternoon squalls roll through. With generous tankage and liveaboard-friendly spaces, you can linger on the hook in quiet coves or hop between marinas without feeling cramped. It’s a versatile platform for boaters who want to explore both tucked-away channels and more exposed stretches with confidence.
