M/Y Journey — a 1972 Custom 39 located in Beaufort, North Carolina, for sale by broker. Responses to inquiries may come from a broker who is representing the owner as a fiduciary.
Journey is a great boat that will provide for many different activities. A fishing boat that can go offshore without any problems and fish commercially or recreationally, she would be a head-turner while enjoying trips around Beaufort, and she could even go around the Great Loop.
Journey is a custom-built vessel designed with the strengths of a commercial fishing vessel, yet it includes many of the items looked for by recreational fishermen and recreational boaters.
Her high bow lends itself to a comfortable ride with plenty of room to work, and her aft deck is a great spot to work from or have a crowd over for a sunset trip with plenty of room to stretch out.
Her interior space is well laid out with a roomy booth-style dinette, Pullman galley with plenty of counter space, and a full stove and oven for cooking most any meal.
The forward section has a generous V-berth, small head, and more storage to keep smaller equipment.
This boat is a must-see for anyone looking for an offshore fishing vessel with the ability to entertain and even make the Great Loop.
