INDEPENDENCE is a highly desirable three-stateroom, two-head Downeast-inspired performance yacht, presented in exceptional condition with approximately 620 hours on her twin 725-hp Volvo Penta D11 IPS engines as of August 2026.
Her Volvo Penta IPS propulsion with joystick control, dynamic positioning and autopilot, Side-Power bow thruster, and twin Quick gyro stabilizers make her exceptionally easy to handle while delivering a comfortable, stable platform for coastal cruising or extended passages. Her sought-after three-stateroom layout includes a spacious forward owner’s suite with ensuite head, versatile twin-berth guest accommodations, and a third cabin with over-under berths. The bright, airy salon features expansive opening windows, a well-equipped galley, comfortable seating, and an L-shaped dinette, while the teak-decked cockpit provides excellent outdoor dining and entertaining space for 6–8 guests.
Additional highlights include a Williams MiniJet 280 tender with dedicated garage, Garmin electronics, 740-gallon fuel capacity, Fischer Panda 12-kW generator, new 2026 AGM service batteries, freshly sanded teak, recently refinished exterior varnish, and a new 2026 aft-deck bimini. Professionally maintained and lightly used, INDEPENDENCE combines low engine hours, desirable accommodations, impressive equipment, and timeless styling in one exceptionally well-presented yacht.
Overview
INDEPENDENCE is a desirable 3-stateroom version of this admired performance Downeast-inspired yacht. With less than 650hrs on her twin 725hp Volvo Penta engines, she represents an unusually low-hour, seasonal-use example. Her Volvo Penta IPA propulsion, joystick control with dynamic positioning, Side-Power bow thruster, and twin Quick gyro stabilizers make her exceptionally easy to handle while providing a comfortable platform for both coastal cruising and extended passages.Her three-stateroom, two-head arrangement is particularly versatile and the most desired of the model. The forward owner’s cabin features a centerline double berth and ensuite head, while the starboard guest cabin offers twin berths (which convert to a joined double if desired), and the port guest cabin is a set of over-under singles. The salon is bright and airy with port, starboard, and aft drop-down windows and a U-shaped galley forward and opposite the helm. Fore and aft-facing loveseats are to starboard, while an L-shaped dinette is to port, and centerline doors open to an expansive teak-decked cockpit with additional seating and dining for 6 to 8.
INDEPENDENCE has been and is currently professionally maintained and operated. Her Flag Blue topsides, cream deckhouse, exterior varnish, and freshly sanded aft deck teak present particularly well, as does her lightly used interior.
