Boat Highlights

Bigger, wider, faster, with a more complete galley and a flybridge that was made to entertain, the 441 hit the sweet-spot in her segment. Full hard top with rigid enclosure, dual bridge a/c with heat, TV, and seating for eight.
Below, she has two staterooms with full size berths, and two heads. The Zeus engine configuration provides stunning performance and stress-free docking operation. It also allows for a mid-ship's utility room to house major mechanicals in a clean and easy to access environment.
Utility Room
Located beneath the salon floor, under a hinged, carpeted hatch riding on gas-assist struts, is the huge, full-beam utility space. Accessed via a removeable ladder, this lighted space houses many of the on-board systems and keeps them protected from the harsher environment of the engine room. This is where the VacuFlush head pumps are housed, along with house batteries, battery charger, a breaker panel, the potable water pump, water heater, CruiseAir a/c system, and much more. There is ample storage space as well for accessories, spare parts, and almost anything else you need to carry.
