Overview

Boat Specs copy 2

  • "BABY BALUGA" is an extremely spacious enclosed pilothouse trawler with Portuguese Bridge. Over $50,000 has ben spent on upgrades and renovation including wiring and Vacuflush.

Cockpit and deck

This 48 Pacifica is a long range fisherman's dream. With the 4' cockpit extension, there is ample room for fishing or just hanging out. The cockpit has an 8 ton fish hold, rod holders and a large California deck for relaxing.

Up on the bow is a large Portuguese bridge which is accessed through the pilothouse, forward of the bridge and to port and starboard are two seating areas with cushions. All the way forward is a Bronze Windlass Co. windlass and a large Danforth anchor.

On top of the pilothouse is a large crowsnest and the boat can easily be rigged with a harpoon plank as she is setup for that already.
