Bareboat Charter This Ellis Flybridge Cruiser

“Elsie” was custom-built by Ellis Boat Company with a unique Herreshoff-style interior and nearly 500 square feet of living space. The vessel sleeps four down below with a v-berth and over-under bunks. There is also a spacious head and a separate stand-up shower. A settee in the shelter converts to an extra berth for a crew of five. The spacious galley is in the main saloon area, where the cook can mingle with guests as they enjoy the sights. Solar panels keep the refrigerator and freezer cold without running the generator. The flybridge includes three seats, a padded bench, and a bimini top – so all can enjoy the views with an unrestricted 360-degree view in the shade. The Captain will enjoy navigating the boat from the top side (dodging the Maine lobster pots = easy from the bridge). There is ample space to tie down an SUP or kayak and/or some folding bikes (bring yours – they are not provided). The 440 Yanmar allows the yacht to cruise in the mid-teens with a low fuel burn rate. Remote anchorages, e.g., Roque Island, are only 4 hours away, with most outer islands and sites in Penobscot Bay under 3 hours. In less-than-ideal weather, the boat can be driven from below. New Garmin plotters with Radar and AIS are installed at both helm stations. Bow and stern thrusters make docking a breeze. 200 ft of chain and the windlass allow for easy anchoring. Other features include a generator, heat and air conditioning, propellor shaft cutters, an inflatable tender with an electric motor, a transom door, and a swim platform w/ladder. Tankage: 100-gallon water, 210-gallon fuel, 30-gallon waste tank with macerator. Specs: LOA= 40’2”. Beam=13’2”. Draft= 3’10.”
