Easily board from the port or starboard side with the foldable, stowable, Marquipt aluminum sea stair or from the stern through a transom gate with ladder to the swim platform aft. The hard-covered aftdeck has a complete set of wicker furniture with table and four chairs, vanity locker, and wide walkaround decks. From the aftedeck, go up five stairs to the flybridge with molded bench seating, Todd captain's chair, and teak high-low table. From the aftdeck, we enter the cabin and down four steps to a wood interior, U-shaped galley to port with parquet wood sole, and drop-in freezer to starboard. Forward of the galley is the saloon with carpet sole, pull-out settee, high-low teak table, two chairs and ottoman. The area is completed by a built-in shelf and separate bookcase. Continuing forward, lower helm to starboard, and centerline companionway. Down five steps to a separate stateroom and wet-head with vanity. V-berth forward with opening overhead hatch and locker storage. Crawl-in engine room access from the forward landing area. Moving aft from the galley, down five steps to master stateroom with centerline queen island berth, en-suite head with stall shower, built-in locker and drawer storage, and separate en-suite laundry closet. Eight opening portlights provide plenty of light while the parquet sole helps reflect it throughout the space. A true classic.

VACKRA is a popular 1988 DeFever 44 that has finished the Loop, spent long stretches in the Bahamas and Florida and is currently for sale because her owners of the last 7 years have decided to retire from boating. They have cruised her in the Chesapeake Bay and have thoroughly enjoyed her. Her Ford Lehman diesels have good hours and run well with no smoke. Bob Smith use to say that the engine was just getting broken in at 16,000 hours. With bow and stern thrusters combined with stabilizers make her a dream to use. Priced low for a DeFever 44, the owner has made her attractive for someone to do a blister repair if they so choose. Seller has had the bottom soda blasted so that we can all get a good look at the bottom during survey. This is an OPPORTUNITY for a knowledgeable buyer who has a true understanding of this 44. Easy to see in our fresh water, under cover showrooms at Atlantic Yacht Basin on the Intracoastal Waterway in Chesapeake, VA just 12 miles south of Norfolk, VA.

Classic trawler design with a wide beam and full walkaround decks. The hardcovered aftdeck makes for a perfect place to sip docktails or eat outside. The twin stateroom design makes a great option for cruisers that like to bring guests, without them having to always be in your space. A timeless design that's still very much in demand due to its space and economical cruising ability.
