Sacajawea Motor Yacht














Sacajawea is a 38.1 m Motor Yacht, built by the architect W.C. Nickum in Lake Washington Shipyard and originally delivered as a military vessel in 1936. She was designed to withstand extreme conditions in the Bering Sea. Her hull is constructed of high-iron riveted steel that’s thought to be purer than the steel used in modern ship construction.

 

Her top speed is 15.0 kn, her cruising speed is 12.0 kn, and she boasts a maximum cruising range of 5000.0 nm at 8.0 kn, with power coming from a Caterpillar diesel engine. She can accommodate up to 12 guests in 6 staterooms, with 4 crew members waiting on their every need. She has a gross tonnage of 199.0 GT and a 7.92 m beam.

 

 

Sacajawea is in the top 30% by LOA in the world. She is one of 1093 motor yachts in the 35-40m size range. Because of her historic status she is eligible for nearly-complete engine upgrades through grant-based funding.

 

Sacajawea is known to be an active superyacht and she is currently lying in Oakland, California
