Will accept clean trades. MOUNTAIN MERMAID is a true turn‑key yacht, cared for with meticulous attention by the current owner and accompanied by a complete history of upgrades and service records. Both mechanically and cosmetically, the standard of upkeep is outstanding, so you can step aboard and go. As a genuine Motor Yacht and Cruising Yacht with Offshore, Bluewater, long‑range intentions, she offers the calm confidence, comfort, and simplicity that make every mile feel easy.

Accommodations

The two‑stateroom layout is designed for effortless living and genuine privacy. The master suite sits amidships and features its own head with a separate stall shower, while a forward VIP offers a centerline queen and an equally private head with a separate shower. For flexible overnighting, the pilothouse settee converts to a comfortable double, and the salon’s adjustable table also forms a double, allowing the yacht to sleep eight when family and friends come along. Each stateroom enjoys its own well‑appointed head, so mornings on board flow smoothly.

Galley

The galley is thoughtfully equipped for real cooking and quiet efficiency: two new under‑counter refrigerators replaced in 2024, Corian countertops, a disposal system, a GE dishwasher, a four‑burner induction cooktop, a full under‑counter oven, and a Samsung microwave. Ventilation is handled by an exhaust blower, while a stainless‑steel single‑bowl sink pairs with hot and cold pressurized water for easy cleanup. Overhead and base cabinetry with recessed lighting keep essentials close, and the teak‑and‑holly sole with a flush hatch provides tidy access to the engine room.

Salon

A generous U‑shaped ultraleather settee frames the heart of the salon, centered by an adjustable hi‑lo teak table whose fold‑out leaves allow dining for six and conversion to a double berth. Two barrel chairs to starboard provide additional seating. The entertainment center in the starboard aft corner includes a flat‑screen TV, Starlink receiver, VHS, DVD, a sound controller, and Fusion theater sound, with recent upgrades complemented by like‑new upholstery. Sliding doors open to the aft cockpit, custom Phantom screens temper the breeze, all lighting and dimmer switches have been upgraded to LED, and four twelve‑volt underwater lights are controlled right from the salon. A starboard storage cabinet keeps the space tidy, and new electric blinds with remote controls were added in 2025.

Master stateroom

A staircase aft to starboard from the pilothouse leads to the master, where a raised queen with custom linens and comforter anchors a serene space with abundant storage. At the base of the stairs to starboard sits a large cedar‑lined cabinet with a hanging locker; a large dresser spans the aft bulkhead; and another cedar‑lined locker is set to port. The ensuite head offers plentiful cabinetry, an integrated bowl, Corian countertops, and teak‑and‑holly decks. Practical details abound: two operable portlights in the head, an escape hatch leading to the pilothouse, cedar‑lined lockers with automatic lighting, cabinet doors with concealed hinges, drawers and cabinet interiors finished in Formica, Formica bulkheads and overheads in the head, and a ventilation blower. Hot and cold pressurized water, VacuFlush heads, and two fresh‑water twelve‑volt pumps serve the space, and all sanitation hoses have been replaced. Climate control is handled by air conditioning with reverse heat, all TVs are linked to Starlink satellite, and the woodwork rests on classic teak‑and‑holly soles.

Guest stateroom, forward

A staircase forward to starboard from the pilothouse leads to the private guest stateroom, where a centerline queen is paired with a full head and a shower stall behind a proper door. An access door forward connects to the passageway and the washer and dryer, new in 2023. To port, a large cedar‑lined closet complements abundant storage to port and starboard, and the TV’s Starlink satellite receiver stores flush within the cabinetry. Custom‑fitted linens and comforter, two portlights, and an escape hatch above the berth add comfort and security. The spacious head features a large stand‑up shower, Corian countertops, teak‑and‑holly decks, two portlights, and one‑hundred‑ten‑volt outlets in both the head and the stateroom. Air conditioning with reverse heat, cedar‑lined closets, ample storage, an escape hatch, fitted sheets, throw pillows, and a teak‑and‑holly sole complete a welcoming suite.

Pilothouse

Port and starboard sliding doors open to a purposeful pilothouse with two new Stidd helm chairs and an L‑shaped couch whose adjustable table converts to a berth. Teak‑and‑holly soles set a warm tone, and an under‑counter freezer to starboard was replaced in 2022. Electronics are arrayed in a large console with chart drawers in the table base, including a B&G depth finder, a new Garmin GPS, an iPad linked to Navionics, a Wesmar bow thruster, Wesmar CPS 1000 fin stabilizers, a Xantrex battery controller, a ship’s monitoring system, a rudder angle indicator, and CAT digital engine monitors. Comfort and control are enhanced by air conditioning with reverse heat, an overhead opening hatch, Hynautic hydraulic engine controls and steering, a satin‑finished teak wheel, trim‑tab controls, AC/DC distribution panels, and dimmer switches converted to LED. A dedicated hatch provides direct access within the pilothouse.

Flybridge

Five steps up from the pilothouse, or via a ladder from the aft cockpit, the flybridge welcomes you with two helm chairs, wrap‑around seating, and two custom mahogany tables. Storage lives beneath the seating, an Isotherm refrigerator/freezer is built in alongside a sink and faucet, and a custom chaise lounge to starboard provides a favorite spot under the semi‑hardtop. An electronics console with flush‑mounted gear sits behind a full EZ2CY four‑sided enclosure with shade and pest screens, and custom‑fitted covers protect the electronics, seating, and tables. Equipment includes two new Stidd helm chairs, bow thruster control, a Ritchie compass, an upgraded refrigerator and freezer with a further refrigerator upgrade in 2025, under‑seat storage with teak ventilation grates, hot and cold pressurized water, CAT electronic engine monitors, engine warning lights, Hynautic hydraulic engine controls and steering, a stainless‑steel destroyer wheel, a new Garmin GPS/plotter, an intercom phone system, trim‑tab controls, Wesmar stabilizer controls, a Simrad AP‑20 autopilot, an ICOM M‑502 VHF, a Zodiac six‑person life raft, and an ACR EPIRB.

Electronics

Navigation and entertainment are modern and integrated. On the flybridge, Garmin 7610 and 7612 displays pair with radar, alongside an ICOM VHF. In the pilothouse, matching Garmin 7610 and 7612 units work with an iPad running navigation software. A backup camera and an engine‑room camera add awareness, while a new Fusion stereo system with new Fusion speakers is fully integrated into the Garmin network. An ACR spotlight is controlled from both the pilothouse and the flybridge, and an inverter control manages the upgraded Magnum MS 2812 inverter. The Simrad AP‑20 autopilot display screen was replaced in 2024. A Tank Tender system and newly upgraded holding‑tank gauges round out the package.

Tender and davit

A 2018 Walker Bay eleven‑foot six‑inch tender with a Honda four‑stroke thirty‑horsepower outboard rides securely on a MarQuipt davit rated for eight‑hundred pounds, ready for shore runs and quiet coves.

Cockpit

The aft cockpit is set up for easy living and clean handling. An integrated swim platform to port and starboard includes storage and a recessed, center‑mounted swim ladder, with shore‑power connections to starboard and a hot‑and‑cold rinse to port. A starboard transom door leads into the cockpit proper, where stainless rails frame a high‑gloss teak cap rail protected by fitted covers. An aft steering station with bow‑thruster controls sits within reach, and the cockpit helm carries Hynautic hydraulic steering controls, Hynautic hydraulic engine controls, thruster controls, and a stainless‑steel destroyer wheel under a custom cover. A large lazarette offers two flush‑mount storage compartments to port and starboard, a big access hatch with a ladder, and a dedicated freezer added in 2021. Hatches provide direct engine‑room access. Day‑to‑day comfort is enhanced by a cabinet with an ice maker and storage replaced in 2024, cockpit speakers, floodlights, large scuppers, exterior cabinets with teak grates, and hot and cold pressurized water. A second transom door complements the thoughtful flow.

Main deck

Forward, a dual anchor roller, a forepeak line locker, and a windlass with foot control simplify ground‑tackle work, with a washdown system and a Coast Guard safety package at the ready. Full walk‑around decks are secured by three‑hundred‑sixteen stainless‑steel one‑and‑one‑quarter‑inch rails, with heavy‑duty handrails and hardware throughout, forward rail gates to port and starboard, and a stainless rail at the boat deck. Sunscreens shade the forward pilothouse windows, forward shore‑power connections are provided with an additional starboard shore feed, and large deck drains keep everything dry. The arrangement includes a double salon and aft sliding doors, leakproof molded FRP window frames, doors and hatches, and an integrated fiberglass swim platform. Beige diamond‑pattern non‑skid adds confident footing, while two transom hawse pipes and six additional hawse pipes with cleats—plus forward deck cleats with a bow chock—make line‑handling simple. A stern flag staff, exterior safety lights, a teak cap rail, a Glendinning Cablemaster, and fifty‑amp plug‑ins at both bow and stern round out the deck systems.

Hull and mechanical

Power comes from twin Caterpillar C‑12 engines rated at seven hundred horsepower each, showing approximately three thousand one hundred hours, turning through ZF transmissions. Two Northern Lights twelve‑kilowatt generators support ship’s power, with one at about three thousand one hundred hours and a second set added in 2022 showing about one thousand two hundred hours. A stainless‑steel exhaust elbow was replaced in 2021, and the running gear includes shaft seals with two backup sets on each shaft. Control and service systems are comprehensive: a remote generator control panel; three‑station bow‑thruster controls; a fire control system; a Reverso oil‑change pump; three‑station Hynautic engine and steering controls; a Glendinning engine synchronizer; and dual Racor fuel filtration. Underwater exhaust and stabilizers pair with Bennett trim tabs for a composed ride. Engine‑room lighting includes one‑hundred‑ten‑volt fluorescent fixtures and twelve‑volt lighting, and fuel can be isolated via a shut‑off valve. Tanks include stainless‑steel lazarette water tanks and aluminum engine‑room fuel tanks, all served by copper fuel system plumbing with shut‑offs at every tank supply fitting. Independent watertight bulkheads, stainless‑steel exhaust risers, engine‑room blowers, a rudder storage shelf, and stainless‑steel engine beds speak to robust engineering. Additional equipment includes shaft scratchers integrated into the bonding system, a Maxwell windlass, a Glendinning Cable Master, and a Xantrex battery controller.
