Designed by William Garden and built by Bent Jespersen at Philbrook's Boatyard, Arctic Light is one of a kind. Launched in 1971 she has traveled the Inside Passage ever since. Modern upgrades have resulted in a comfortable, stable cruiser unlike any other on the waters today. She boasts accommodations for 9 in three double staterooms, a pull-out couch in the salon, and one pilot berth with a settee in the pilothouse. The comfortable salon will allow you to watch the scenery go by in any weather conditions, or for the sun worshiping a large flybridge is available. Diesel heat and CruiseAir cabin cooling will keep you at the perfect temperature. Robust ground tackle will give you restful nights at anchor. US Coast Guard documented vessel with Canadian import duties paid. PRELIMINARY SPECIFICATIONS
