1988 Brewer 44

This roomy Brewer 44 center cockpit ketch is a must see among the blue water capable boats. She was repowered in 2018 (current hours 906h), has all new standing rigging as of 2019, reverse cycle heat and air and dinghy davits.

Among her great features are a reverse transom (with a small swim platform), large aft deck and bright and roomy interior. She’s appointed with two staterooms and two heads. There is a walkthrough to the aft stateroom with an additional companionway to the cockpit. The owner's stateroom features a queen sized bed and head with a separate shower stall. The main saloon features settees on each side that convert to additional berths, a drop leaf table and plentiful storage. To port of the companionway is a U-shaped galley, with top loading fridge/freezer, 3 burner stove, double sink and plenty of storage. Opposite to starboard is the nav station and in the walk-through passage is the access to the engine room as well as an additional navigation/work area with more storage. Forward is the V-Berth and a wet head to port.

Jouaie has been to the Bahamas twice in the last two years, the current owner has single-handed her mostly and is now looking to downsize.
