WALKTHROUGH
SUZY BELLE is an exceptional three stateroom raised pilothouse offshore cruiser. Her design and equipment allows for easy operation by a couple without the need for crew.
A large aft deck/cockpit with built in seating leads into a spacious salon through double doors, or allows easy access with built in steps to an integrated swim platform. Covered walk around decks with bulwarks and a Portuguese bridge forward make line handling simple and provide safety at sea.
