Kingfisher is the Quintessential Downeast Cruiser or Dayboat
Kingfisher is a Wilbur 34 which was designed as a Downeast Style couples cruiser or dayboat.
She is a been owned consistently by the same family since she was built, stored in indoor heated storage for every offseason, and has been maintained to the highest standard for her entire life.
Kingfisher has a downeast style pilothouse with hard sides and roll up Sunbrella and isenglass panels on the back of the pilothouse, perfect for ventilation. The aft deck can be covered with the bimini, or removed if you prefer taking in the sun on the aft deck on a nice day!
She has recently had an electronics package upgrade, and when you add on the bow thruster, bus heater, and the phenomenal layout, Kingfisher is ready to be launched and enjoyed as soon as you want to be on the water.
Kingfisher should be seen for her quality to be fully understood, reach out and schedule a showing today!

"Semi-displacement hull is solid hand-laid fiberglass of alternate layers of matt and woven roving. Thickness of the hull will vary from 3/8″ to 3/4″ at high rudder port bearings, which require extra thickness. The superstructure is made up of hand-laid fiberglass and utilizes an end grain balsa core for structural rigidity and weight reduction." ~ Wilbur Yachts
