Carried Away - PACIFIC MARINER FOR SALE

"Carried Away" is the finest 65 Pacific Mariner for sale at a sensible number. She boasts upgrades others lack and, as a two-owner motor yacht, has been with her current owner for 16 years, voyaging extensively through the Bahamas and the Upper and Lower Caribbean during that time, proving her pedigree as a luxury bluewater yacht.

She carries low hours, with continually refreshed service and systems, delivering value; with yachts like this, the story isn’t the ask, it’s the investment already made. More than 300,000.00 has been invested over the last 4–6 years, including 47,000.00 for brand-new teak decks completed in April 2026 by skilled craftsmen to exacting standards.

She is stabilized, equipped with twin generators, generous fuel capacity and a shallow draft, making her economical to operate for a 65–70 foot flybridge yacht. Ask this owner—or any Pacific Mariner owner—and you’ll hear praise for the marque.

Description

Preliminary listing as of May 10, 2026, with more photos and information coming shortly. Built in the rugged sea environment of the Pacific Northwest in La Conner, Washington, the Pacific Mariner 65 emerges from a heritage defined by collaboration among renowned regional shipyards that freely shared advances in fiberglass construction—techniques that trace their origins to the hardworking fishing fleets of the area’s tough waters and famed inlets. As with all great yachts, excellence begins with design, and this hull is by the highly respected Bill Garden, who also drew the Westport 130. The owner of Pacific Mariner was the son of Westport’s owner, ensuring that the construction methods and technology of that lineage informed the build, with support from yards across the Pacific Northwest. We consider Garden’s hull to be among the finest on the water; watch how cleanly the bow sheds its spray and you will understand why he famously called most boats “push waters.”

The 65 checks every box for comfortable cruising and gracious entertaining: a welcoming aft deck leads to a large salon with expansive windows, while the open galley features full-size appliances and a side-by-side refrigerator, flowing forward to a spacious pilothouse with full instrumentation and commanding views—ideal for cruising and even fixing a sandwich at the same time. Accommodations include three staterooms and three heads, plus a small crew space aft if desired. The full-beam master is distinguished by a walk-around king-size berth, a rarity in this size range, and the yacht offers the practicality of a stand-up engine room.

Power comes from reliable Caterpillar 3406 engines with low hours of 2375, most of which were accumulated under the care of a knowledgeable owner with diligent maintenance. She runs efficiently and comfortably at 21 knots at 2000 rpm, burning approximately 62 gallons an hour, with efficiency greatly enhanced at a 10-knot cruise.

“Carried Away” presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a world-class, turnkey yacht without the usual headaches—no changing headliner or wallpaper, no replacing aged teak decks, no spending 50k plus on electronics, and no long list of deferred projects, along with the time and agony of chasing vendors. Do the math.

Overall description

“Carried Away” is the finest 65 Pacific Mariner currently on the market at a compelling price, distinguished by numerous updates that others simply do not offer. A prized two-owner vessel, she has been under the care of her present owner for sixteen years and has cruised extensively throughout the Bahamas and the upper and lower Caribbean over the past sixteen years.

She shows low hours, with maintenance meticulously and continually updated, delivering exceptional value; with a yacht of this caliber, the true measure is not merely the purchase price but the investment made, and over $300,000 has been invested in the past four to six years, including $47,000 on new teak decks in April 2026.

Outfitted with stabilizers, twin generators, generous fuel capacity, and a favorable draft, she is notably economical to run for a 65–70 foot yacht, and owners of Pacific Mariners consistently speak highly of the brand.

Features and upgrades

Over the past five to six years, she has benefited from a comprehensive program of updates and refinements. The air-conditioning system stands out, as she offers a second chiller—two in total—where most 65 PMs have only one; a chiller was replaced in 2024, and all nine air handlers were renewed between 2023 and 2025.

Further enhancements span the decks and interiors: a new high‑grade teak deck was laid on the aft deck in March 2026, a fresh headliner and new wallpaper elevate the interior, and the optional wing stations are installed and used all the time. Below the waterline, a new bottom job was completed in February 2026, while the carpet was replaced several years ago, and a new washer and dryer were added in 2023. Topsides, the flybridge dash has been repainted—an area that is typically dull and cracked on other models—the pilothouse windows now carry heat‑resistant tint, and the electronics have been refreshed with newer components.

Aft deck

The covered aft deck showcases rich teak flooring and a rear bench settee complemented by aft-facing occasional chairs gathered around an elegant teak table, creating a welcoming setting for relaxation and casual dining. Engine crew access is discreetly provided via the starboard beach seat.

Galley

The galley is thoughtfully appointed with a new Delta single-lever faucet featuring a pull-out sprayer, creating a clean, efficient workspace for everyday prep and entertaining. Overhead, a skylight and vent hatch with shade and roll-up screen invite abundant daylight and fresh air while offering instant light and privacy control. Climate comfort is at your fingertips with digital controls for precise room temperature management. A custom buffet tailored for dish storage keeps tableware secure and neatly organized, while Hunter Douglas Duette blinds provide a refined finishing touch with elegant light modulation.

Electronics

All electronics were new in 2018. At the helm, three Garmin GPS Map 8617 plotters—center, port, and starboard—anchor a seamlessly integrated navigation suite that also incorporates a Garmin GHC 50 autopilot, a Garmin GDS25 sonar, a Garmin GPS17X receiver, and a Garmin Fantom 54 four-foot, 50-watt open-array radar. Visibility into critical systems is enhanced by Garmin engine-room cameras, while confident command is assured with an Icom VHF, a powerful searchlight, bow thruster controls, backup engine controls, Naiad stabilizer controls, and a digital compass. On the flybridge, navigation is extended with Garmin GPS Map 942 and Garmin GPS Map 943xsv plotters for effortless oversight from the upper helm.

Spare parts

A comprehensive list of spare parts will be provided upon an acceptable offer, ensuring confidence for extended cruising and proactive maintenance. Included are a spare prop puller, oil and fuel filters, and belts, delivering the essential inventory to keep systems running smoothly.

Mechanical

Reliability is anchored by twin Northern Lights generators rated at twenty kilowatts and sixteen kilowatts, delivering balanced onboard power. A power take-off serves the hydraulic bow thruster for assured maneuvering, while Naiad stabilizers enhance comfort underway. The engine room offers excellent headroom, promoting easy access and confident serviceability.

Salon

The salon welcomes you with seamless connectivity via the Wi‑Fi system, while a beautifully appointed wet bar features custom cabinets crafted for crystal storage alongside dedicated custom liquor bottle storage. Climate remains perfectly tuned through digital controls for room temperature, and the ambiance is refined by Hunter Douglas Duette blinds that lend privacy and softly filtered light to this sophisticated gathering space.
