1999 Grand Alaskan 64 Pilothouse Sold Boat in Fort Lauderdale, FL US

"Soft Touch" is a 64' Grand Alaskan Pilothouse, which means compared to the 60' model, it has two additional feet in the main salon, and aft deck area, and correspondingly has two feet more length in the engine room and Lazerette. The additional volume gained is substantial, as rather than just adding length to the aft end of the mold which usually results in a diminished beam, for this extra footage, the additional section of the hull is added well forward to maximize volume. From the stern the yacht has an integrated swim platform with optional Teak and easy access from the swim platform with integrated molded steps and opening rear gate. Additionally, three stainless-steel U-Shaped railings on the swim platform provide safety, and also are designed to be removed for installation of the stainless steel swim ladder which also is stored on a custom mount on the swim platform. The aft deck is large, and was designed for multipurpose use, both for entertaining and for occasional fishing. A fiberglass aft deck cabinet houses controls gladdening electronic controls for the main engines and both thruster, ice maker, sink, storage, and VHF, on the starboard size is a full height custom cabinet recently added by the owner. A custom center fighting chair stored in the Lazerette, can be installed quickly for fishing, and an extended canvas top from the overhead which gives protection from rain or sun can be pulled back to allow fishing. Two additional stainless rod holders are installed on both the port and starboard sides of the aft deck/cockpit area. There is freshwater wash down, nonskid deck, opening port and starboard gate doors, and high gloss varnished cap rails on top of bulwarks that go completely around the yacht's walk around decks and adjoin a Portuguese Bridge with opening gate. The original forward seat on the large foredeck on the bow has been modified to produce substantial quantities of ice and could also be used as an additional freezer. The dual Maxwell 3500 windlass, has opening access doors both port and starboard, which is a recent feature added by the owner, and creates two separate storage areas for the lengthy chain, and prevents tumbling. The high gloss dark green hull shines in like new condition, as does the white superstructure, and fender tracks port and starboard insure easy protection at the dock.
