Ideal Couples Trawler

Ready For The Great Loop

 Be sure to watch the walk-through video!

 

Hercules II is a very clean example of the incredibly stout and popular American Tug 34.   Her single diesel is very economical to run, and her bow and stern thrusters make her agile in close quarters. .

This American Tug is a great loop veteran, and has been very well maintained by her knowledgeable owner. Her bilges, machinery and engine spaces are as clean as they come. 

My favorite part of this tug is her custom salon layout.  American Tug created a flexible space that can be tailored to most any desire.   Her current owner has opted to place a straight settee in the salon, but if desired one could replace it with two comfortable chairs and a coffee table.   It's extremely versatile!

This one is ready to go.

The L-shaped galley is to starboard and the settee to port.  Hercules II has a beautiful teak wood interior, hardwood floors and neutral carpet.

The port side of the salon is unique, as it offers an open space for the owner to customize it however they please.   Photos also show the original setup that had two chairs and a coffee table.   (The chairs are in storage and are included).  The current owner has placed an ultraleather settee in that space. There are many options for seating for the next owner.  

The stairway to the pilothouse is wide and easy to navigate as the funnel is integral with the deck and there are no bulkheads separating the salon & pilothouse.  The funnel also houses a skylight to allow natural light into the pilothouse.
