1997 Creekmore 45 Cutter - Bees Knees

A Unique, Custom-Finished Bluewater Cruiser in Exceptional Condition

Bees Knees is a rare opportunity to own a truly unique Creekmore 45 Cutter, renowned for their exceptionally strong construction and trusted offshore capability. Unlike modern mass-produced yachts, Creekmore hulls were built to rigorous standards and then individually finished by skilled craftsmen. Bees Knees was completed in Rhode Island, where her interior joinery, systems, and final fit-out received a level of attention and customization that set her apart from typical production cruisers.

With the same dedicated owner for the past twenty years, this vessel has been continuously upgraded, carefully maintained, and actively cruised throughout the East Coast and the Islands. She carries a successful history of bluewater and coastal passages from Maine to Florida and beyond, demonstrating her reliability, strength, and seaworthiness. Today she stands as a proven passage maker with many more miles ahead of her.

This is a high-value offering for any sailor seeking a comfortable liveaboard platform, a capable offshore cruiser, or a custom-built vessel with character and integrity that cannot be replicated in modern builds. Bees Knees is shown by pre-arranged appointment only in Oriental, North Carolina.

Exceptional Features & Upgrades

Bees Knees benefits from numerous upgrades and thoughtful additions accumulated over two decades of committed ownership. Highlights include:

  • Winslow Liferaft aboard ( needs routine inspection), has never been stored outside

  • Magma Party Grill with 6 # propane tank rail mounted for extended cruising and entertaining

  • Monitor Windvane- dedicated offshore self-steering system

  • RO Watermaker by Aquamarine

  • Air cond. by KingAir

  • Espar diesel heater

  • 4 Burner Regal propane stove with oven

  • Radio with Sirius XM ready, Samsung TV and DVD player

  • Modernized navigation and helm electronics

  • Cutter rig with upgraded sails and running rigging

  • Reliable electric windlass with robust ground tackle

  • Quality anchors: Rocna 33kg & Bruce 66 #and chain sized for serious cruising

  • Well-maintained diesel inboard engine with regular servicing

  • New owner will have access to logs and part numbers used for maintenance

  • Warm and spacious custom interior

  • Deep storage options throughout for liveaboard or extended passagemaking

  • Long keel, heavily laid fiberglass hull known for stability and offshore comfort

  • Proven track record of long-distance cruising

  • Carefully preserved deck hardware, winches, and fittings

  • Thoughtful interior upgrades and comfort improvements made over years of active ownership

Why Bees Knees Is a Standout Bluewater Choice

This Creekmore 45 represents the type of build quality and custom craftsmanship seldom seen in today's market. Her combination of structural integrity, offshore-proven design, careful ownership, and extensive upgrades make her an exceptional value. Buyers seeking a true bluewater cruiser with character, capability, and readiness for her next journey will find Bees Knees to be an impressive and compelling choice.

Her long-keel cutter rig provides excellent balance, tracking, and control in offshore conditions, while her interior offers comfort and storage well suited to extended cruising or living aboard. This vessel is not simply maintained - she has been actively used, continually refined, and kept in excellent condition.

Bees Knees is available for viewing by pre-arranged showing only through McCotters Marina & Boatyard, as the vessel is currently located in Oriental, North Carolina.
