Commissioned for a long distance trip that took her from California to Alaska, "Abina" is a beautiful example of how the Kadey-Krogen 39 is a proven design when it comes to exceptional seaworthiness in luxurious comfort. Fresh water kept, every element of this vessel is superior. Powered by a single John Deere 115hp diesel housed in an engine room/work shop space that offers standing headroom upon entry, these boats have unbeatable fuel efficiency capable of a cruising range of 2,400 nautical miles at 7.5 knots. The full displacement hull provides stability in all kinds of sea states yet she remains easily maneuverable thanks to the unique articulating rudder, large prop and bow thruster. The full walk-around deck design provides safety for the crew while they access the bow or come back to the fully enclosed aft deck. Stepping inside the interior one instantly is drawn to the stunning teak woodwork found throughout this vessel. The main salon is surrounded by windows with ample seating for guests around a custom table that converts to a double berth if needed. The gourmet galley is a marine chefs dream as not only is it tastefully equipped with a large fridge/freezer, propane stove and oven, corian countertops and storage capable of provisioning a lengthy voyage with ease, it is positioned on the same level as the main salon to keep the conversation flowing while meal preparations are underway. Stepping up into the pilothouse that provides fantastic visibility, the interior helm station is well appointed with easily visual gauges and electronics monitoring ship performance. Access to both port and starboard decks is provided by Freeman aluminum dutch doors and an additional single pilot berth is easily converted if needed. Down below the master cabin and head with separate shower is the ultimate in Captains quarters with a large centreline berth, tons of storage and easy access to the engine room if needed. Surveyed in April 2025 and available with your choice of moorage at our Sidney location or near Steveston (with marina approval), Abina is available to view by appointment on our Sales Dock at Westport Marina. Please contact our Vancouver Island Sales Office at 250-656-5832 to schedule a showing of this impressive vessel.
