"Boondoggle" — Northern Bay 36 Lobster Boat

Classic Downeast lines, proven performance, and beautifully maintained.

Boondoggle is a beautifully kept example of the highly regarded Northern Bay 36, owned and meticulously cared for by an internationally renowned racing yachtsman in Coronado, California.

Designed in the tradition of the classic Wilbur 34, the Northern Bay 36 combines timeless Downeast styling with a comfortable ride, efficient performance, and exceptional seaworthiness. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident throughout, from her handsome exterior lines to her thoughtfully appointed interior.

Ideally suited to the Southern California lifestyle, Boondoggle is a capable and quick cruiser with the range and comfort to make trips to Catalina Island and beyond a pleasure. Her bow thruster makes close-quarters handling and docking remarkably easy, whether arriving at a guest slip, navigating a busy harbor, or returning home after a day on the water.

Below deck, she is designed for comfortable extended stays. A diesel heater, spacious forward cabin, galley with stove and refrigerator, and generous accommodations provide all the comforts needed for relaxing weekends or longer island adventures. Her interior offers a warm, practical retreat after a day of cruising, fishing, or exploring.

The flybridge is a standout gathering space, providing comfortable seating for family and friends while offering an elevated vantage point for enjoying a sunset cruise around San Diego Bay or taking in the beauty of the Pacific.

Whether your plans call for Catalina cruising, fishing, weekend getaways, entertaining, or extended coastal adventures, BoonDoggle offers a rare combination of classic Downeast character, comfortable accommodations, and capable performance.

Boondoggle is a proven, versatile cruiser with timeless appeal — a Northern Bay 36 ready to enjoy the best of Southern California and beyond.
