2020 PowerBoat Guide
The McKinna57 is a handsome pilothouse yacht whose graceful lines stood in contrast to the aggressive styling of many European luxury yachts of her era. Heavily built on a modified-V hull with prop pockets and a relatively wide beam, the Maple interior of the McKinna 65 is an impressive display of grain-matched woodwork and luxurious furnishings.
Included in the three-stateroom layout is an amidships master suite with a diagonally positioned berth. The galley and dinette are on the Salon level, a few steps up from the spacious salon with its facing settees and built-in LEDTV on a custom lift. The flybridge, which can be reached only from a pilothouse staircase, seats eight and extends well aft with space for a tender. Adding to the sense of luxury are the teak decks and flybridge sole.
