2007 Bluewater 52 Madisonville Louisiana

The Bluewater 520 is an elegant design with a distinctive interior open single level floor plan with houseboat comfort and a simi-displacement shallow draft hull that can cruise in the mid-20 knot range. The upper deck sits on top of the superstructure spanned 3/4 of the vessel length boasting a large open space for lounging and entertaining guest. A large canvas bimini provides plenty of shade and weather protection.

The shallow draft makes maneuvering through skinner waters worry free and the bow thruster creates confidence when docking in tight quarters. Kevlar reinforced construction where it counts and hand laid fiberglass are hallmarks of the Bluewater brand.

The Crusader engines have low hours (under 800) and have been professionally maintained. The Westerbeke Generator looks new with ~ 151 hours.
