1992 Crosby Crosby Tug

Step aboard and you’ll notice how substantial this little workboat feels underfoot. The wide side decks, high bow, and solid rub rail give you the confidence to nudge up to docks and seawalls without drama. Big windows and opening ports keep the wheelhouse bright and breezy, while the classic tug sheer and plumb bow deliver that salty, small-ship presence that always draws a second look. The helm layout is simple and purposeful, with everything within easy reach and excellent sightlines forward and aft. Low engine hours on a modern diesel mean long, quiet days of economical running, and the displacement hull rewards you with a comfortable, unhurried ride that makes short hops or long, lazy cruises equally appealing.

A compact tug like this shines on sheltered waterways where you’re rarely in a hurry but always in close quarters. The stout hull and fender-friendly profile make it easy to slide into tight slips, restaurant docks, and fuel floats, even when the breeze pipes up. Its modest draft lets you poke into skinny back channels and explore quiet anchorages that deeper boats avoid. At typical tug speeds, the efficient diesel sips fuel, so day-cruising and evening harbor runs stay affordable. The protected helm and ample overhead cover keep you comfortable during sudden squalls or scorching afternoons, while the cozy interior gives you a retreat when you decide to linger aboard instead of heading home.
