Description

If you've spent any time cruising the coast of New England in the summer, chances are you have come across a downeast boat. The original downeast-style was derived from the old Northeast vishing vessels that would venture into the Atlantic and bring the crew home safely with their catch. The raised V-shaped bow, long sheerlines, and low profiles allow a downeast boat to handle well in head-on or following seas. There are over 1,000 downeast boats sold on the market every year and generally speaking, most of them retain a good resale value. At United Yacht, we sell many downeast-style boats each month and would be happy to speak with you about selling yours or helping you find the right pre-owned vessel for your needs.

SPEAK TO A SALES PROFESSIONAL

In Rhode Island a few models were built that possessed the Downeast style —DyerCraft as well as the Dyer 29. Many downeast-style brands followed suit and have continued to be a popular segment of the boating industry. Some of the most prolific downeast yacht brands include:

• Sabre Yachts
• Back Cove Yachts
• Grand Banks Yachts
• Hinckley Yachts
• Hunt Yachts
• Legacy Yachts

Below are some frequently asked questions about downeast boats.

What is the Downeast Style boat?

In the same way that recreational trawler yachts were developed from the commercial tuna fleets of southern California by legendary naval architect, Arthur DeFever, the Downeast Style boats were developed from the Maine lobster fishing boats built by Will Frost of Jonesport, Maine in the 1920s. These boats featured a long sheer forward and sweep to aft with the low aft freeboard making it easier to haul in heavy lobster traps or nets over the sides. The pilothouse and cabin were located just forward of amidships giving plenty of deck workspace. A skeg running the centerline of the boat gave added directional stability by keeping roll to a minimum in heavier seas and protecting the running gear.

The low-slung cabin structure also served to minimize windage and gave the vessel a lower center of gravity providing safety, comfort, and economy. After WWII, lobster boat building shifted to Southwest Harbor in Maine, when Raymond Bunker and Ralph Ellis began their boat-building partnership in 1947. Their boats were characterized by the same classic lobster boat sweeping sheerline, a narrow 3 to 1 length-to-beam ratio, semi-displacement hull, generous deadrise amidships that flattened out aft for stability, large cockpit working space, low freeboard, fine entry for parting head seas, and unballasted keel (a design feature taken from 19th century sail-driven commercial fishing boats off coastal Maine). These fine-looking sturdy boats attracted the attention of wealthy summer residents that frequented coastal Maine in the late 1950s and they began ordering pleasure cruising versions for themselves around 1960.

The Downeast Style is essentially the same lobster boat as it was customized and upscaled to the desires of yachtsmen wanting pleasure boats with the same pretty lines. The helm station was expanded, and the minimal cabin was made luxurious with brightwork, galleys, heads, and comfortable V-berths. According to Don Ellis, who heads the Ellis Boat Company today, the hull shape remained the same; seaworthy, fuel efficient, and fast—with a low power-to-weight ratio. Heads were added and the interior fit and finish featured high end materials like varnished teak and mahogany. Wood planking gave way to fiberglass in the 1970s which greatly increased production. Many Downeast Style boat builders owe their beginnings to the iconic Bunker and Ellis designs. Modern Maine lobster boats still retain the original classic lines, but with some changes to take advantage of new marine technologies and other innovations. Engine power has increased to satisfy demand for speed and led to the popular annual lobster boat races in Maine!

Who builds Downeast Style boats today?

Recreational Downeast Style boats and yachts are now available in many makes, models, layouts, and features—sedan cruiser, sedan bridge, flybridge models; engines inboard (most common) or outboard (smaller boats); trunk cabin; with full skeg keel or built-down keel; advanced composite construction; bow thruster; IPS drives; air-conditioning; generator; icemaker, and wet bar are just a few of the options and design variations. Yet the classic Maine lobster boat essential features identifiably remain—the long graceful sheerline, large cockpit, fine entry; pilothouse and cabin positioned slightly forward and low. The style has been admired and reproduced by boat builders not only throughout New England (MJM Yachts/Boston Boatworks), but also the Pacific Northwest (San Juan) and Canada (Bruckmann); Australia (Palm Beach Yachts); Malaysia (Grand Banks); Italy (Ferretti’s Mochi Craft); Turkey (Vicem); Alachua, Florida (Marlow Mainship); Chesapeake Bay (Mathews Brothers, Mast & Mallet Boatworks). Some of the most enduring Maine and New England custom boat builders and brands are Wilbur Yachts, Hinckley Picnic Boats, Sabre Yachts, Back Cove Yachts, Calvin Beal/SW Boatworks, CW Hood Yachts /Lyman-Morse Boatbuilding, Ellis Boat Company, Southport Island Marine, Lowell Brothers, MJM Yachts, Morgan Bay Boat Company, Fortier Boats, Atlantic Boat Company (Duffy), Eastern Boats, Wesmac Custom Boats, Padebco Custom Yachts, Newman & Grey Boats (Jarvis Newman), Taylored Boats (Willis Beale), West Bay Boats. There are many coastal boatyards that will build a custom Downeast Style boat—too many to list.

Current well-known makes include Hinckley, Grand Banks/Eastbay, Sabre, Willis Beale, Wilbur Yachts, Back Cove, Huckins Yachts, MJM, San Juan, Legacy, Bunker & Ellis, Duffy, Hunt Yachts, Fortier, Chesapeake, West Bay, Bruckmann, Calvin Beal, Webbers Cove, Morgan Bay, Wesmac, Vicem, Mochi Craft… This is by no means a comprehensive list.

How much does a Downeast Style boat cost?

Based on a range of 34ft-45ft and model years 2000-2009, midrange Listing Price is currently about $384,000. Lowest price in range was $89,000 with the highest listed at $679,000. For comparison by model years, based on a range of 34ft-45ft and model years 2010-2019, midrange Listing Price is currently (Aug. 2021) about $862,000. Lowest price in range was $325,000 with the highest listed at $1,399,000. Brands in these selected ranges include Sabre, Back Cove, Mainship, Island Packet, Duffy, GB Eastbay, Legacy Yachts, Mast & Mallet, Lyman-Morse, MJM, Northern Bay, Hinckley, H&H Marine, Hunt Yachts, San Juan, Huckins, Wesmac, Lowell Bros. and some custom boats. Of course, there are numerous variables impacting price, especially the engines, mechanical & electrical systems, electronics, floorplan, materials, and options. Custom or semi-custom builds are typically much higher as they are customized to the owner’s wishes and therefore unique in the market.

What is a Picnic Boat?

Hinckley Yachts invented the concept about 25 years ago as a new class of luxury open-air express yacht for harbor and coastal cruising. Based in Southwest Harbor, Maine, Hinckley designers transformed the “Downeast” lobster workboat style into an upscale luxury cruiser worthy of yacht club marinas in the northeast and beyond. The large cockpit and open deck layouts are ideal for lounging and entertaining. Hinckley’s iconic Picnic Boat style is recognizable with its distinctive hull sheer that curves inward at the transom and transom flagstaff. Hinckley Picnic Boats (registered trademark) offer elegant simplicity of form that is both functional and beautiful, able to handle Maine’s rugged coast and rough seas. Built to last with epoxy reinforced carbon fiber and Kevlar from bow to stern. Jet propulsion with jet stick drives for unrivaled handling and maneuverability add speed and fuel efficiencies as there are no appendages below the waterline to cause drag. Hinckley currently offers three models of Signature Edition Picnic Boats.

Are Downeast Boats express or sedan cruisers?

The Downeast Style boats are the most popular type of sedan cruiser characterized by the large open cockpit flowing into the helm deck and pilot house, great for lounging and entertaining. Low cabin roof is forward and raised above the foredeck area. Accommodations of one or more cabins and heads are below. Cabin roof and superstructure (pilot house) keep a low profile, like the Maine lobster boats that inspired the style, along with the long, graceful sweep from bow to the low cockpit coaming. Today some builders are adding flybridges (sedan bridge). Engines are usually inboard, and the semi-displacement hull design is faster than full-displacement trawler motor yachts.

Based on the Maine lobster boats, the hull design is also very stable in different sea conditions. In marketing, definitions and descriptions are often blurred and many Downeast sedan models are called “Express.” Grand Banks Eastbay, Sabre, Back Cove, Wesmac, Legacy Yachts, Hinckley, Hunt Yachts are just a few examples of Downeast sedan cruisers. Sedan cruisers are favored by yachtsmen who are transitioning from sail to power or prefer a minimal number of steps.

Express cruisers are a subset of the Motor Yacht category and do not have a flybridge. They typically feature sleek, contemporary lines with an aft sweeping radar arch and large open cockpits that flow into the helm deck area that may be slightly elevated, and interior main deck living area, allowing maximum outdoor/indoor space for relaxing and entertaining. Accommodations are below. Most are designed and powered for speedy cruising at 25-30 knots and are also called Sport Boats or Sport yachts. The ever-popular Sea Ray Sundancer is a prime example, also Sunseeker Predator, Formula Performance Cruiser, Larson Cabrio, Regal Commodore, Princess Sports Yachts, and too many others to list.

'1 in 100 million': Watch as beautiful, rare, cotton candy lobster explores new home

A lobster company recently captured what aquarists are calling a "1 in 100 million" creature off the New England coast.

Atlantic Lobster Company fisherman caught a cotton candy lobster July 24 in waters off New Hampshire and Maine and transported it to the Seacoast Science Center in Odiorne Point State Park.

The center is in the town of Rye, about 50 miles east of the state capital Concord.

"It is still in our quarantine tanks, acclimating to the environment," Michelle Dillon, a spokesperson for the center told USA TODAY.

Watch the cotton candy lobster explore its new home

Here are some quick facts about the beautiful blue, pink and purple sea-dwelling crustacean:

How many cotton candy lobsters are there?

Sam Rutka, an aquarist at the center, said the cotton candy lobster is approximately "1 in 100 million."

Why is it called a cotton candy lobster?

Lobsters come in various colors including orange, yellow, red, blues, and cotton candy which is a mixture of pinks and purples on a blue backdrop resembling “cotton candy," hence where the name comes from, Rutka said.

"There are also split lobsters, for example red on one side and black on the other; as well as calico, another rare coloration where the lobster has a distinctive black and orange mottled color pattern," Rutka said.

Are there other rare lobsters?

Yes, there are other rare lobsters. The science center has two cotton candy lobsters as as well as an orange lobster and a few blue lobsters.

Here's how to best do maine in the fall.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

Maine offers a spectacular fall experience.

From its rocky coastlines to the rugged highlands, Maine offers scenic vistas that are hard to duplicate anywhere else in the country. Renowned for its resplendent fall foliage, Maine also offers a wide variety of fall activities ideally suited for the outdoor enthusiast.

One of the best ways to experience the splendor of fall in Maine is to explore the great outdoors by camping under the stars. Surround yourself with the fiery colors of an autumn day, and then enjoy the warm glow of a sparkling fire on a cool fall night. Scenic campsites from the coast to the mountains mean you can make the most of the season.

Also, arts and culture abound throughout the state. With nine museums and more than 80,000 works of art, the Maine Art Museum Trail showcases the state’s diverse and impressive art collections. The Art & Ales Trip Ideas offers tips on where to find art in Maine in many shapes and forms. Take in the beauty of Maine art and sample the art of handcrafted local brews that starts with Maine’s clear, clean water and expert brewers.

Fall means the air is cooler, but sunny days are still plentiful. Just bring a sweater and head to one of Maine’s many beaches . If you’re looking for some fun-filled action, Old Orchard Beach has access to a beachfront amusement park, Palace Playland, with rides for the whole family and Maine’s largest arcade.

With far fewer tourists fall is the perfect time to visit. Offering cooler temperatures and a kaleidoscope of gold, red, orange and yellow foliage hues, it's no surprise Maine is a popular autumn getaway. From leaf peeping to apple picking and fall festivals, it's a destination with something for everyone. Whether a cozy B&B or an epic panoramic view of color from the summit of a mountain, a variety of experiences and fun await.

Use the foliage tracker to help plan your trip.

Fall Foliage

A “must-see” experience, Maine’s fall foliage is truly spectacular. Peak foliage season varies across the state, but it is typically from the last week of September to the first two weeks of October. Maine has a foliage tracker that begins in September to help you plan your trip. There are plenty of ways to experience the state’s bountiful foliage, whether from a mountain’s peak or the comfort of your car.

Check out the Maine Trail Finder for various options.

Hiking And Climbing

Hiking and climbing are popular fall activities throughout the Pine Tree State as the air is invigorating and all levels of trails are available. There are great hikes throughout Maine, on federal lands like Acadia, in state parks such as Mt. Blue and along the East Coast’s longest and most well-known walk, the Appalachian Trail. Check out the Maine Trail Finder for the various options.

Take a leisurely boat ride around the coast’s brilliant colors.

Seafarers know that one of the best ways to experience Maine in the fall is from the water. Climb aboard a Maine Windjammer and take a leisurely sail around the coast’s brilliant colors, or enjoy a sea kayaking trip. Early fall is the perfect time to visit one of Maine’s many islands. Ferry service is available and can get you to your destination of choice in no time.

The state offers biking paths for all ability levels.

Maine is a biker’s paradise featuring tunnels of vibrant colors along with some overlooks that will leave you awestruck. No matter your ability level, there are scenic trails and picturesque routes that meander for miles and miles. The back roads, gravel roads, paved trails and natural trails are unique and boast splendid vistas. Want to test your biking mettle? You can even peddle a rail cycle on the old Belfast and Moosehead Lake Rail Line.

The Inn by the Sea offers 62 comfortably appointed rooms/suites.

Where To Stay

Set in a location of unspoiled beauty on sandy Crescent Beach, just seven miles from Portland’s urban chic port city, the luxuriously contemporary Inn by the Sea offers guests an experience that is pure Maine from the beach to the coastal setting to fully redesigned modern interiors. The 62 comfortably appointed rooms and suites, full-service spa, fireplace lounge, pool and regionally sourced menus create an atmosphere of eco-luxury. Chef David Brown's captivating cuisine, handcrafted and regionally sourced, is served with a backdrop of panoramic Atlantic views. Traditional New England activities such as apple picking is popular at the nearby 29 local Cape Elizabeth Farms. Take advantage of the Inn’s free-use bikes to cruise the coast or visit some of the nearby lighthouses, such as the historic Portland headlight. Visit the Inn’s Sea Glass Restaurant for Maine Lobster Week Sept. 22- 29 to savor Maine's most famous crustacean and help support the local lobster industry.

River Cruise on Luxurious Radisson Boat

• Description
• Choose date

Equipped with ice-breaking technology, these huge fancy yachts are the only river cruisers running all year around. The round trip journey takes two and a half hours and floats past all the big sights like the White House, Novodevichy monastery and the Kremlin. There’s a large open air observation deck up top, while the main body of the ship houses a restaurant with a dance floor for a romantic post dinner dance. For a particularly romantic experience take one of the evening boats and admire the bright lights of the city skyline at night.

The most relaxing and picturesque tour that Moscow can offer: a great way to see the city center and its main attractions. This is a perfect alternative to exploring the city by car, if you only have time to do sightseeing during weekday rush hours.

Your English-speaking guide is eager to share every bit of their knowledge about the surrounding landscape, the architecture and historical details.

We conduct Moscow river tour on Radisson Flotilla boats all year around!  It’s warm inside during winter months, while there’s air conditioning during hot summer days. You may also treat yourself to drinks, lunch or dinner on board (drinks and food are not included in tour price).
