Accommodations and Interior

Adagio’s interior offers a practical cruising layout with excellent privacy for owners and guests. Forward is a guest cabin with single bunks, storage, and access to the chain locker. A forward head is located aft of the guest cabin.

Moving aft, the galley is down to port and provides a well-protected cooking and food-prep area. The main salon is up a few steps and benefits from large windows, a lower helm station, and flexible salon space. The salon soleboards provide access to the engine and machinery space below.

Aft of the salon, steps lead down to the aft master stateroom. This cabin features a walkaround queen berth, built-in storage, and an ensuite head. Above the aft cabin is the enclosed sundeck, which functions as a second living area and excellent entertaining space. From the sundeck, steps lead up to the enclosed flybridge.

Additional Description

Adagio is a comfortable, practical, and well-equipped President 37 with the features that matter for Northwest cruising and living aboard: diesel power, generator, inverter/charger, solar, watermaker, diesel heat, dual helm stations, enclosed exterior spaces, two staterooms, two heads, and a substantial dinghy package.

Her recent survey described her as a structurally sound, well-designed and well-constructed fiberglass motor vessel with the wear expected of a vessel of her age, along with a mix of original systems and modern upgrades. As with any classic motor yacht, buyers should review the available survey and mechanical reports, verify current operation of all systems, and perform their own inspections to their satisfaction.

Adagio is an appealing option for a buyer seeking a classic double-cabin motor yacht with strong liveaboard comfort, practical cruising systems, and a layout that feels much larger than her 37 feet.
