Owner Experience Review
Owners and brokers describe Custom Made MotorsailorbyCUSTOM BUILTas well-suited to private overnight cruising, coastal and cross‑channel passages, and gulet‑style day‑charter. The lifestyle appeal is clear: a deck‑saloon/enclosed wheelhouse that lets you see out from the cabin, plus a large saloon and, per listings, a flybridge that works well for guests and family cruising. Some shoppers also consider it for liveaboard use, but they are consistently advised to commission full surveys and system checks before committing.
On the water, reports vary. Forum comments note that motorsailers of this type can be modest to windward or in light airs, yet they are regarded as safe, sturdy, and sea‑kindly in bad weather. Broker write‑ups emphasize a heavy build with extensive rigging and many winches—a setup that suits longer passages and charter operations rather than high‑speed motoring or razor‑sharp responsiveness.
Condition and maintenance depend heavily on the individual custom build. Documented cases include inexperienced builders producing unsafe mechanical or electrical installations, a large 2006 example listed as non‑operational due to engine failure and needing comprehensive refurbishment, and multiple listings that underwent major refits and mechanical overhauls. Forums also mention water damage and interior deterioration on older or neglected boats—another reason thorough haul‑outs, specialist inspections, and a refit budget are part of realistic ownership planning.
Pros and Cons
- Sea‑kindly, sturdy behavior in bad weather is reported by owners and brokers.
- Deck‑saloon/enclosed wheelhouse and a spacious saloon provide visibility, protection, and guest‑friendly living.
- Versatile use cases include coastal and cross‑channel cruising, overnights, and gulet‑style day‑charter.
- Some examples perform modestly to windward and in light breezes.
- Heavy, rig‑rich setup favors passages and charter operations over high‑speed motoring and sharp handling.
- Condition varies by custom build, with documented mechanical, electrical, and water‑damage issues requiring thorough surveys.
