The Royal Passagemaker 57’ demonstrates Park Isle Marine’s commitment to excellence by offering a level of quality construction and design detail usually only seen by the industry's larger yacht manufacturers. “GROUSE III'' is a full displacement ocean passagemaker capable of cruising any latitude comfortably, efficiently, and safely. Ed Monk and Gregory Marshall designed a 3-stateroom, 2-head trawler yacht purposely built for extensive blue-water cruising. 

Highlights Include:

• 4,000 nautical mile cruising range, bulbous bow, stabilizers, hydraulic bow thruster, and redundant propulsion 
• 2020 Northern Lights 12KW genset with only 40 hours
• 13ft Boston Whaler tender with 25HP 4-stroke outboard
• Well-configured 360° engine room with practical access for maintenance 

Today’s replacement value would be well over 4 million dollars. The listing price is reflective of an anticipated refit. The sellers are motivated and offers are encouraged. 

Dockside in Newport, Rhode Island. Easily shown by appointment. Please see the full description below or contact the listing broker for more information. 

DESIGN COMMENTS & CONSTRUCTION:

 A softly rounded “fishing boat” stern, swept sheerline and flared bow mark a Monk classic in any anchorage. The Royal Passagemaker is based on the tried and proven “Seamaster” hull form designed by Edwin Monk Sr. with structural refinements by Victorian Naval Architect Gregory C. Marshall. The 57’ was the first yacht built by Park Isle from the “Seamaster” molds, conceived originally as M/Y “Fine Romance”. Engineered for the harsh, unpredictable conditions of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. 

Below the waterline of the vessel including the bulbous bow is constructed of solid fiberglass. The hull sides, decks, and cabin structures are vacuum infused with vinylester resin and unidirectional glass fibers. Foam coring, where used is ATC corecell triple cut within infused laminates. Generous overlaps at all edges of material runs, with the stem and keel of the vessel having double hull laminates applied. Vinylester resin is used for vacuum infusion, eliminating the risk of osmosis blistering. The deck and house cabin structures are cored with high-density foam, providing rigidity as well as insulation. 

A heavy-duty vinyl rub rail mounted on a molded fiberglass guard. Handrails are 1 ¼ “ welded stainless steel. The cap rail is solid brushed stainless steel, and there are no exterior wood finishes on the vessel. A 3” stainless steel shaft with a 4-blade propeller are protected by a rudder shoe. The rudder and rudder post are solid reinforced stainless steel. Bronze underwater through hull fittings and seacocks.
