Live your cruising dreams aboard this classic Cabot 36!

Step aboard this well-maintained Cabot 36, a legendary Ted Brewer-designed bluewater cruiser built to go anywhere with confidence and comfort.

Why this Cabot 36?

* True bluewater pedigree built tough for North Atlantic conditions yet perfectly at home cruising the Caribbean seas.

* Spacious, light-filled interior with full standing headroom (6'2"), abundant storage, and large windows rare for a boat this size.

* Comfortable living quarters featuring a private V-berth, salon berth conversions, roomy and well-stocked galley, and a full head with hot shower with independent sump.

* Generous water and fuel capacity (120 gal water, 80 gal fuel) for a boat of this size and vintage.

* Reliable power from a recently reconditioned Yanmar 4JH2E diesel engine and robust solar charging. Can easily be updated to lithium if desired.

* Updated systems throughout including all new windows and portlights, LED lighting, Corian counters, and recent hull and deck work including new non-skid.

* Fully rigged for cruisers with a strong cutter setup, multiple sails, Aries self-steering windvane, B&G radar and electronics, and full cockpit enclosure.

* Ready to go - on the hard with launch fees prepaid; just add a quick coat of anti-fouling, then splash and go!

Whether you're dreaming of Caribbean cruising or long coastal passages, this Cabot 36 delivers solid performance, timeless design, and exceptional value.
Sellers are motivated as their professional circumstances no longer allow them to spend winters down south. Make an offer and realize your cruising dreams!
