Cruise the Pacific Northwest in Comfort and Confidence
Salty Dog is an excellent platform for bareboat cruising in the San Juan Islands and Gulf Islands, or extended cruising. Her solid fiberglass hull and twin Volvo diesel engines deliver a smooth, dependable ride well suited to the island cruising. Bow and stern thrusters make docking and maneuvering in tight marinas and anchorages easy and stress-free.
Comfortable Living for Extended Cruising
The warm Birds Eye Maple interior provides comfortable accommodations for families or cruising couples, with three private staterooms and two en suite heads. Thoughtful lighting and generous space make the interior inviting for longer stays aboard.
Equipped for Northwest Adventures
Designed for self-sufficient cruising, this yacht features a generator, inverter, water maker, and well-equipped galley—ideal for off-grid cruising. A diesel furnace keeps the boat comfortable year-round. An upgraded davit and tender make exploring shorelines and nearby towns easy, and modern electronics support confident navigation throughout the islands.
