Faith - HUCKINS FOR SALE

Commissioned in 2003, the 44' HUCKINS Atlantic “FAITH” underwent a comprehensive, owner-driven renewal in 2016–2017 that returned her to a virtually new presentation. The modernization included a complete Garmin electronics suite paired with upgraded audio/visual components, while an Awlcraft Flag Blue hull and Insignia White topsides restored her iconic Huckins sheen. The cockpit’s teak and seating were expertly refinished, the bow pulpit was stripped and revarnished to a yacht-class standard, and A&M Marine meticulously inspected the Cummins powerplants, replacing anything less than flawless in a $47,000 mechanical refresh.

Everyday reliability was equally prioritized: all pumps and hoses throughout “FAITH” were renewed, a new generator was fitted, and Tides cutlass bearings, rudders, exhaust risers, and propellers were replaced. Fresh soft goods on the helm deck and below created a refined, inviting interior, and in truth, nearly every system aboard was addressed. Since that refit, the yacht has changed hands twice, with both stewards maintaining her with exacting care. The result is a turnkey, blue-hulled classic that is poised for her next chapter of cruising, offering the confidence, comfort, and grace that define a proper Motor Yacht and Downeast-style Express Cruiser.

Her most recent servicing underscores this fastidious stewardship: in April 2024 she received a starboard alternator, new battery charger, fresh belts, fluids, and filters for engines, transmissions, and generator, plus LED engine-room lighting, new rod holders, and a bright spreader light. October 2024 brought a new bow sun cushion and fresh strata glass, and in June 2025 a new air-conditioning system was installed along with a quick-connect AC line flush upgrade for effortless maintenance. Elegant yet purposeful, “FAITH” is a Classic Yacht and Coastal Cruiser in the truest sense—refined, capable, and ready to deliver years of smooth, secure adventure on every passage.

2003 Huckins Atlantic 44

Aboard “FAITH,” the flow carries you from the teak-lined aft cockpit into a spacious, fully enclosed bridge deck, then down into an open, light-filled salon. To starboard, an L-shaped settee converts with ease into a comfortable double berth, while the forward stateroom offers two single berths port and starboard and a generous cedar-lined hanging locker in the forepeak. To port in the salon, the galley is thoughtfully equipped with an electric stovetop, a microwave, a stainless-steel Frigidaire refrigerator/freezer installed in 2016, a stainless-steel sink, a handsome teak countertop, and fresh 2016 overhead lighting, complemented by a 2016 Kenyon two-burner cooktop. To starboard, the head is surprisingly spacious, with a proper sink and a large shower enclosed by a chrome-trimmed glass door added in 2016; a hatch with screen and blackout shade completes the space.

Purpose-built for entertaining, day boating, and extended-range cruising alike, the 44 Atlantic rewards guests with expansive windows and an open, bright aesthetic that feels worlds apart from today’s crowded, dim interiors. Her navigation suite is exactly what you expect and everything you need, all arrayed on a clean, well-designed helm. The mid-cabin comfortably seats eight; under way, fifteen guests can be seated throughout the boat, and at hull speeds more than 20 guests can relax aboard for cocktails with effortless ease.

The salon welcomes with a teak door fitted with a screen, an inviting L-shaped sofa to starboard, and two comfortable chairs to port. A Samsung flat-screen TV anchors the entertainment, while a sisal-bound rug softens the mahogany floors. Climate is managed by air conditioning with smart-touch controls, and grass window blinds lend a natural, textural finish.

In the master stateroom forward, the two single berths port and starboard are served by reading lamps, 2016 smart-touch A/C controls, and a 2016 sisal rug over a mahogany sole, with a large hanging locker forward for extended cruising wardrobe.

The head, to port of the galley, features a teak vanity, a 2016 chrome glass shower door, and a hatch with screen and blackout shade, delivering both practicality and polish.

On the exterior, the hull and deck present beautifully: the hull was refinished in 2016 with Awlcraft in Flag Blue, the topsides repainted Insignia White in 2016, the cockpit teak and seating were refinished, and the bow pulpit was stripped and re-varnished to a deep gloss.

In the cockpit and at the helm, thoughtful craftsmanship shows through a teak swim platform, a teak cockpit sole, and a varnished teak transom retractable bench. Ample port and starboard storage lockers, cockpit lighting, and a dive ladder underscore practicality, while the Huckins teak ship’s wheel adds heritage charm. Aft, port and starboard L-shaped seating offers generous lounging, and at the helm, port and starboard seats with 2016 Ultra Leather cushions echo the premium finish of the L-shaped seating. Comfort on warm days is ensured by two helm air-conditioning units added in 2016. Underfoot, a 2016 sisal rug with bound edges covers the helm sole. Ventilation and light are managed by 2016 Bowmar hatches to port and starboard with screens and shades, as well as port and starboard opening helm windshield windows equipped with 2016 electric rams. Clear visibility is maintained by three windshield wipers installed in 2016. For refreshments, a 2016 Whynter refrigerator resides under the port helm seat, while 2016 sun screens protect all windows, 2016 overhead lights brighten evenings, and a 2016 Strataglass enclosure secures the bridge deck in inclement weather.

Her 2016 electronics suite is comprehensive: two Garmin 7610 multifunction displays provide GPS/Map/Plotter capability, paired with a 6 kW Garmin radar with a 4 ft open array and a Garmin XM Weather antenna. Precision steering comes via a Garmin GHP autopilot with rudder indicator, and depth intelligence through an Airmar 2 kW transducer. A Golight Stryker spotlight enhances night operations, while two Speco cameras expand situational awareness. Communications are handled by a Standard Horizon 2000 VHF. Entertainment is delivered by a Fusion 750 Stereo/DVD with Fusion amp, two Fusion 6" speakers, and a Fusion 10" sub-woofer, all fitted in 2016.

In the engine room, twin Cummins 370 hp 5.9 diesels drive “FAITH” through big water with confident smoothness, producing a top speed of over 30 kts and an easy 26 kts cruise. A&M Marine thoroughly went through the Cummins engines and replaced anything short of perfect at a cost of $47,000, underscoring the no-compromise approach. In 2016, two Racor 900MA fuel filters were added for the main engines, alongside a Racor 500MA generator fuel filter, Trident silicon hoses, new exhaust risers, an engine room camera, and dripless shaft seals.

The electrical system is equally up to date, highlighted by a new 2017 Onan 9 kW generator showing 140 hours, four 2017 Optima batteries, a 2017 Sentry battery charger, and a 2017 Racor 500MA generator fuel filter. Altogether, the specification reads like a curated list of upgrades that elevate this 2003 Huckins Atlantic 44 into a timeless, thoroughly modern classic, equally at home island-hopping for the afternoon or stretching her legs offshore for the weekend.
