Description
Sweet Caroline is a 52-foot Jefferson Classic Motor Yacht built in 1989 that offers a comfortable and spacious layout. This vessel, modeled after the Hatteras 53 Motor Yacht, features three staterooms, each equipped with its own head and shower.The yacht is comprised of three decks: a main deck that includes a pilothouse, a sizable salon, and an aft deck; a lower deck housing the three staterooms, each with head/shower, a fully equipped galley, and twin-engine rooms; and a flybridge top deck with a steering station and boat deck.The vessel's layout facilitates access to the main deck via tide ride ladders on either side, leading into the pilot house. Positioned forward of the expansive salon and aft deck, the pilot house provides entry to the full galley, which includes an L-shaped dinette, located a few steps down. Proceeding forward from the galley, a guest stateroom features over/under berths and a private head with shower. Aft of the galley, a companionway houses a washer/dryer within a closet, alongside a second guest stateroom equipped with a full berth.A head with shower is across the hall. Further aft are twin engine rooms and the master stateroom, situated at the stern, complete with a centerline queen berth and a head/shower with tub. The flybridge, accessible from the pilothouse, offers a secondary steering station, an L-lounge, bench seating, and a boat deck at the aft end, equipped with a davit and Zodiac dinghy.Walkthrough & EquipmentThe vessel's layout facilitates access to the main deck via tide ride ladders on either side, leading into the pilot house.
