The COASTAL QUEEN is most certainly one of a kind and she has been maintained to a level rarely seen on a vessel of this age. Her current owner has spared no expense and her captain has been on board since 1985 ensuring only the finest maintenance, upgrades and care. The attention to detail aboard THE QUEEN - whether it be her gleaming bright-work, her spotless engine room, the interior furnishings or the stock in the bar - is second to none! She is aging gracefully and with the care she has received, she only gets better with time. 

Being fortunate enough to spend significant time aboard the COASTAL QUEEN over the past 20 years and now having the honor of listing her for sale, I am happy to answer any questions regarding this outstanding vessel.
