1999 Atlas Boat Works Acadia 25

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the wide, secure side decks and solid handholds invite you to move forward with confidence, even when the chop kicks up. The Acadia 25’s semi-displacement hull gives you that satisfying, sure-footed feel at displacement speeds, yet lifts cleanly when you push the throttle. Inside, the cozy pilothouse keeps you out of the weather, with generous windows that make it easy to keep an eye on traps, moorings, or traffic. The cockpit is deep and uncluttered, perfect for a couple of deck chairs, a few trolling rods, or an evening harbor cruise with friends as the sun drops behind the breakwater.

In these waters, conditions can swing from flat calm mornings to afternoon sea breezes and confused ferry wakes, and the Acadia 25 is built for exactly that mix. Her Downeast hull form tracks straight in a sloppy chop and offers reassuring stability when you’re idling through mooring fields or drifting a rip line. The efficient diesel and modest draft are ideal for long days exploring rocky shorelines, tidal estuaries, and snug little coves. With a protected wheelhouse and simple, practical layout, she’s easy to handle short-handed, dock in tight slips, and keep ready on a mooring for quick escapes whenever the weather and tide line up.
