Description

Turnkey Blue-Water Expedition Yacht – Fully Fueled & Ready to Sail!

Showcasing true, single-owner pride of ownership, Grocery Boy is a rugged, custom-upgraded 52-foot Nordic Yacht built to conquer open ocean, serious sportfishing, and off-grid cruising. Powered by bulletproof, commercial-duty Lugger diesels and packing an incredible 800-gallon fuel capacity, she is 100% full of fuel and ready to cast off today for her next epic adventure.

Core Specifications & Mechanical Power

  • Length / Make: 52' Nordic Yacht (Custom Hull Extension)

  • Ownership: Single Owner – Impeccably Maintained

  • Power: Twin Commercial-Duty Lugger Diesels (Top-end overhaul completed at 10,000 hrs; 7,800 hrs logged since overhaul)

  • Fuel Capacity: 800 Gallons (Massive long-range capability—Tanks are Full!)

  • Redundant Power (Dual Gensets):

    • 8 kW Auxiliary Generator (5,137 hrs)

  • Triple Control Stations: Total operational command from the Pilothouse, Flybridge, or Back Deck.

Major Custom Structural Refits

Unlike off-the-shelf vessels, Grocery Boy has undergone two major professional refits designed to maximize interior volume, comfort, and offshore capability:

  • 2010 Custom Hull Extension: Added 3 feet to the hull, creating massive hidden internal storage and an extra-large, ultra-functional swim step—ideal for diving, landing big game fish, or effortless tender boarding.

  • 1992 Raised Foredeck Conversion: Foredeck removed and rebuilt using a custom bow mold, raising the deck by 18 inches. This expanded forward storage lockers and created an extraordinarily spacious Master Stateroom.

Ultimate Offshore Fishing & Deck Amenities

Designed for serious offshore anglers and extended expedition provisioning:

  • Triple Station Command: Dedicated aft cockpit control station with fish finder repeater for precision boat handling on big fish.

  • Fish & Bait Setup: Large built-in fish box and high-capacity live well.

Accommodations & Galley Comforts
