Overview

With $100k invested over the past three years, Halcyon is presented for sale with a complete cruising inventory and spares inventory, meticulously upgraded to enable extended remote cruising. You will not find another Cutwater like Halcyon—she is uniquely specified, comprehensively outfitted, and unequivocally the one to buy.

Key features

A complete new LifePo4 house battery system built entirely with Victron components and Epoch batteries was professionally installed in 2024, and it is complemented by a 600w solar array with a Victron MPPT controller added in 2023 and hardwired Starlink with a Peplink cellular modem from 2022. Offshore autonomy is further enhanced by the Spectra MPC 5000 fully automatic 12v watermaker installed in 2023, while a new Highfield 290LT aluminum Hypalon tender with a 9.9hp Yamaha outboard arrived in 2024. Comfort and protection on deck are assured by a three-quarter flybridge enclosure executed in Sunbrella and Macralon panels in 2022. Halcyon is offered with an extensive spares inventory tailored for serious cruising, with maintenance records available, including routine oil analysis, and she has been kept in freshwater under cover.

Walkthrough

The Cutwater 30-CB has long been one of the manufacturer’s most popular models, and Halcyon elevates that platform in every conceivable way. In the cockpit, the trademark multifunction layout shines with signature fold-out seating, an opening aft bulkhead, large lazarette hatches, and an electric engine hatch, while the optional aft steering station and a custom teak tabletop expand versatility. Entertaining and provisioning are effortless thanks to a cockpit fridge and a portable Dometic freezer, and movement to the swim platform is seamless through the transom door. The tender has been upgraded to an aluminum-hulled RIB with Hypalon tubes and a new Yamaha 9.9hp outboard, marrying durability with performance. Inside, the salon embodies Cutwater’s hallmark multifunctionality—vital at this size—with the aft cabin cleverly accessed to starboard beneath the dinette alongside the electrical panel and gauges, a perfect retreat for guests, kids, or additional storage. To port, a long galley with a fold-away countertop delivers generous workspace and the full complement of appliances, equipment, and storage you could wish for, while the dinette flexes between fore and aft seating via the flip helm seat, and the table lowers to create an additional berth. The helm itself is clean and ergonomic, combining excellent sightlines with contemporary, well-integrated electronics, and abundant opening windows and hatches ensure superb ventilation under way. Below, a large berth and smart storage solutions create a primary cabin comfortable enough for extended cruising, elevated by custom bedding, and paired with an ensuite head that features a separate enclosed shower. Up top, the command bridge provides a superb vantage point with full operational functionality, seating for four, and another custom teak table, while the folding mast carries radar and associated electronics including the Starlink antenna. In the details that follow, you will find an extensive list of upgrades, improvements, and maintenance completed under current ownership, with records available.

Propulsion/steering

Power is delivered by a Volvo Penta D6 producing 435hp, a 5.5l six-cylinder turbocharged, aftercooled diesel showing 1,160 hours, turning through a Volvo Penta HS80AE-B straight-drive reduction gear with a 1.96:1 ratio onto a 1 3/4-inch stainless-steel shaft and a four-blade bronze propeller. Control is precise via a single-lever electronic throttle at three stations, while electric Side-Power 12v bow and stern thrusters are available at two stations and Ultraflex hydraulic steering is fitted at three stations. A transom-mounted bronze spade rudder adds dependable authority, a Garmin hydraulic 12v autopilot smooths passages, and Bennett electric-hydraulic trim tabs—whose four rams were all replaced in 2024—fine-tune running attitude.

Tankage and plumbing

Fuel is carried in a single mid-bilge poly tank of 180 gal with electronic tank level and fuel consumption gauge, while freshwater resides in a single mid-bilge plastic tank of 60 gal monitored by an analog gauge and is pressurized by a new upgraded water pump added in 2022 and heated by a new 40l electric water heater installed in 2024. Bluewater capability comes from a Spectra MPC5000 fully automatic 12v watermaker installed in 2023, producing 7 gph with auto-flush, a sample/tank valve, and UV filtration. Black water is contained in a forward-bilge plastic tank of 40 gal with an analog gauge, and the Techma raw-water electric-flush head was upgraded with a new macerator pump in 2025. Bilge management includes two 12v bilge pumps (forward engine room and aft engine room), one 12v grey-water pump added in 2022, one 12v black-water overboard macerator waste pump, and one 12v raw-water washdown pump.

Appliance and audio/visual

The galley is anchored by a Nova Kool 12v refrigerator and a Dometic 12v wine cooler, with a Nova Kool 12v refrigerator serving the aft cockpit, while cooking is handled by a Force 10 LPG stove/oven and a Muave 120v microwave. Entertaining extends outdoors with two Magama propane BBQs, one mounted with cover and another new in box, and climate control is assured by a Heater Craft hydronic heater (12v plus engine loop) and a Webasto AirTop Evo M forced-air heater (12v diesel). Night passages benefit from a Marinco 12v searchlight, and onboard entertainment is delivered by two Fusion 12v stereos and two Majestic 12v TVs. Connectivity is state-of-the-art with a professionally mast-installed Starlink 3rd Gen system and a Peplink cellular modem (BR1 Pro 5g), while a Dometic portable cockpit freezer expands cold storage.

LPG system

Fueling the galley, a swim-platform-mounted LPG locker with drain and vent houses two steel LPG cylinders, regulated by a pressure regulator with gauge and protected by an electric solenoid shutoff valve.

Navigation electronics

Navigation is comprehensive and redundant, with three Garmin GPSMAP 7612 chartplotters providing speed, depth, and radar data—two at the lower helm and one at the upper helm—paired to a Garmin GMR 18 xHD 4 kW radar. Control is refined via two Garmin autopilot control displays and a Garmin autopilot wireless remote, and communication is covered by a Garmin VHF 200 with a flybridge mic, a Garmin AIS 800 transponder, and a portable ICOM VHF with AIS. An iPad mounted in a watertight flybridge case adds versatile situational awareness, while two Ritchie magnetic compasses provide reliable, power-independent reference.

DC power system

Halcyon’s DC backbone centers on a LifePo4 house bank using two Epoch batteries rated at 460Ah each for a total of 920Ah, professionally installed by an ABYC master electrician in 2024, supported by a Victron Multiplus II 12/300/120 inverter/charger, a Victron Orion 50A DC-DC charger to charge the house bank from the engine bank, and a Victron Cerbo GX Touch screen monitor. Solar harvesting comes from a 600w array comprising three 240w panels paired with a Victron 100/50 MPPT controller added in 2023. Everyday convenience is rounded out by 12v LED lighting throughout and 12v USB charging points. Starting and maneuvering are handled by one AGM Group 31 engine start battery at 110Ah and one AGM Group 31 thruster battery at 110Ah.

AC power system

Shorepower and onboard 120VAC 60hz distribution are delivered via a 30A 125V Smart Plug inlet receptacle and a matching 30A 125V Smart Plug marine shore power cable, feeding a 120VAC circuit breaker panel and 120VAC outlets throughout.

Ground tackle and deck equipment

Ground tackle is anchored by a Lewmar 12v electric windlass handling a Rocna galvanized 15kg anchor added in 2022, with 50 ft of galvanized chain and 200 ft of nylon rode. Deck comfort is enhanced by Raptor Decking installed in 2022, while boarding is eased by a bow pulpit boarding ladder. Entertaining al fresco is elevated by custom Burmese teak tables in the cockpit and on the flybridge, and fishing-readiness comes via downrigger pads and plugs.

Canvas and soft goods

Comfort below is complemented by a Custom Yacht Bedding set complete with two sheets, while factory sun/sundown phifertex shades protect the windshield and aft windows, and a custom cockpit awning/cover with stainless transom poles extends sheltered living space outdoors.

Tender and toys

Your shore excursions are served by a 2023 Highfield 290LT grey Hypalon aluminum RIB tender paired with a Yamaha 9.9hp outboard and a 6 gallon fuel tank added in 2024, launched and retrieved via a Weaver Davit system and aided by a stainless-steel manual engine hoist; several floating toys add carefree fun at anchor.

Safety

Safety aboard is thoughtfully addressed with an ACR Express RapidDitch ditch bag including EPIRB, a comprehensive marine medical kit, two carbon monoxide alarms, and a high-water alarm. USCG PFDs and a USCG throwable PFD are on hand, alongside handheld Type B/C fire extinguishers, an electric horn signaling device, visual distress signals and flares, navigation lights, and a reboarding ladder.
