Alden 56 Custom 1999 “ANGUS III”

Stored for 2023-2024 season in heated shed

A gorgeous example of true American craftsmanship, ANGUS III has always been maintained in superb condition and has been thoughtfully updated. Truly a superlative in todays market.

She has three beautiful staterooms, a full width Master Cabin, two heads, a delightful large salon adjacent to and easily accessible to her cockpit, a gourmet chefs galley, and large pilothouse with exceptionally well laid out navionics and communications gear along with control systems. 

She is powered by a pair of CAT 3196 diesels, fully rebuilt in 2019 in Maine, yielding 21 knots top end with 18 knot hi cruise speed. Coolers replaced with new coolers in 2019 and 2022.

Her freshly painted hull shines and is in virtually perfect condition. This paint job was not a quick fix paint job, rather, a very substantial down to the fibreglass paint job.

She has also had many small things that make a big difference: LED lighting, BOSE systems, and updates so numerous, etc.

Further, should slow be your operating speed, she also becomes a trawler, sipping fuel gingerly, if required.

ANGUS III is a superb choice, should you be looking for a properly configured, fit out, safe, extremely well maintained yacht. 

Storage in sales tax free Rhode Island.

Many yachts described by their owners, or worse, by their brokers, have used the phrases, 'best in class', or 'this boat will wow you' or 'like new condition', or 'the best boat you will ever see'. This silly habit is confusing to many, but more often than not, these phrases are cover for the truth: the boat is a worthless, dirty, smelly rat-of-a-boat and the only rationale for such verbal debitage is to get a sucker to home plate, where hopefully, he or she is not so mortally pissed off that an offer is made, even a low one, and the brokers magic touch brings the client over the finish line.

On a misrepresented junker.

Well, that is not the case here. Truly, I can tell you from my heart, ANGUS III is one of the best yachts out there. I say this from first hand knowledge, 38 years selling yachts.

She is in excellent condition, but for her age, she's got to tip the scales at 'superior' or the 'top of her class'. I think you'll agree. She shines. She is maintained at a level in the top 1%. 

Please see this outstanding yacht, whether seeking a motor yacht or trawler, ANGUS III would be a great choice to give your family lasting memories.

She needs nothing. Service records will be available to the owner once purchased.
