1990 Tempest Offshore Sport Yacht

Step aboard and you can feel that this Tempest was built when offshore sport yachts were unapologetically solid. The hull has that deep, confidence‑inspiring entry that slices through chop instead of skipping over it, and the boat rewards you with a planted, predictable ride when you push the throttles down. Visibility from the helm is excellent, with a clean sightline over the bow, and the wide side decks and secure rail height make line‑handling and anchoring less of a gymnastics act. Engine access is generous, with room to actually work around the blocks instead of just reaching in by feel. Storage is plentiful and intelligently placed, so you can pack for long weekends without cluttering the living spaces.

In these waters, conditions can shift from glassy to stacked in an afternoon, and the Tempest’s offshore roots really shine. That deep‑V hull and substantial displacement smooth out wind chop and confused wake, making longer runs between harbors or anchorages more comfortable for everyone aboard. The blend of sporty performance and cruising amenities suits a lifestyle where you might blast out for a quick afternoon run, then stay on the hook for a couple of nights. With two true staterooms and generous tankage for a boat this size, it’s well suited for extended weekends, while the secure decks and responsive handling simplify tight‑quarters maneuvering in busy marinas.
