GREAT SCOTT | 68' Stephens 1981

Overview

This vessel was the third custom-built Stephens yacht for her original owner and called "Love Affair." Her second owner purchased her in 2010, named her “SEAFIRE” and cruised to the Bahamas annually. Her third owner purchased her in 2014, named her “GREAT SCOTT” and cruised between Newport, Rhode Island, and the Florida Keys. In 2016 he put her through a thoughtful refit with extended cruising in mind, but a change of plans has placed her on the market. She is a solid three-stateroom yacht with a sensible arraignment plan.  Her striking timeless styling combined with her efficient sea-kindly hull design, 10 knots @ 15 G.P.H., and oversized stabilizers make for a comfortable cruising yacht. A must-see for the client desiring a traditional pedigree, long-range motor yacht.

Accomodations

Sleeps six owners and guests in three staterooms plus crew. Entering from the aft deck there is an ample salon with a large sofa and large picture windows. A staircase to starboard leads to the aft passageway. The owner stateroom is aft with a queen berth and built-in chest of drawers on either side. A private head and shower are to port and large closet it to starboard. The aft passage also leads to a second stateroom with two beds and a private head and shower to starboard, and a full-size laundry room to port. Large closets line the passageway providing a large amount of storage space for owners and guests.

 

Moving forward from the main salon into the galley, there is a large working area mirrored by a built-in dinette.

This is an excellent example from Stephens Marine, a premier West coast custom builder. Stephens has frequently been referred to as a “West Coast Burger.” This vessel was the third custom-built Stephens yacht for her original owner and called "Love Affair." Her second owner purchased her in 2010, named her “SEAFIRE” and cruised to the Bahamas annually. Her third owner purchased her in 2014, named her “GREAT SCOTT” and cruised between Newport, Rhode Island, and the Florida Keys. In 2016 he put her through a thoughtful refit with extended cruising in mind, but a change of plans has placed her on the market. Her striking timeless styling combine with her efficient sea kindly hull design, 10 knots @ 15 G.P.H. and oversized stabilizers make for a comfortable cruising yacht. A must-see if you desire a traditional pedigree, long-range motor yacht.
