Vessel overview

The Tollycraft 57 Motor Yacht is an extended and refined evolution of the earlier Tollycraft 53 MY (1988–1994), gaining a substantially larger cockpit and expanded fuel capacity. In profile and character the two models are closely related, yet the 57’s extra cockpit space and longer cruising range represent meaningful advances for owners who value practical comfort in a cockpit motoryacht designed for coastal passages and confident handling.

Built on an efficient semi‑displacement hull with a solid fiberglass bottom and a notably wide 17‑foot 3‑inch beam, the 57 offers the brand’s classic pilothouse layout: three staterooms with the dinette and galley forward on the pilothouse level, plus a full‑beam salon with an entertainment center and a single portside wing door giving access to the foredeck. Below, the amidships full‑beam master and both guest cabins sit forward of the engine room; access to the machinery space is from the generous cockpit, with crouching headroom but excellent outboard reach. A cockpit transom door and a hydraulic swim platform are welcome upgrades. More than thirty hulls were produced, underscoring the model’s appeal as a versatile flybridge cruiser, liveaboard motor yacht, and capable cruising yacht.

The 1992 Tollycraft 57 “Just Bearly III” continues that standard with sought‑after MTU 8V183TE92 mains rated at 665 hp at 2,300 rpm, ZF IRM350AL gearboxes with a 2.077/1 ratio, and ZF Mathers MicroCommander electronic engine controls at three stations. Ship’s power comes from an Onan 8MDKDB 8 kW genset with soundshield and an Onan 20MDL4J 20 kW genset with soundshield. Comfort and utility are supported by a Marine 69,000 BTU chilled‑water air conditioning and heat system, two Xantrex Truecharge 40+ amp battery chargers, Dyno batteries, Furuno navigational electronics, an A/V system with a satellite TV antenna, a Torrid MV30 1,500‑watt 30‑gallon water heater, a Nutone central vacuum, an oil‑change system, Lumishore underwater lighting, 50‑amp/125/250‑volt shorepower, a huge bridge soft top, a bridge davit 900‑lb yacht crane, and a hydraulic tender swim platform with tender. This is a widebody pilothouse flybridge motor yacht that balances performance, space, and reliability for relaxed cruising.

Highlights

Twin MTU 8V0183 diesels with just one thousand six hundred twenty‑five hours pair with two Onan generators in sound shields rated at 8 kW and 20 kW to deliver quiet, dependable power for extended cruising. The hull was Algrip painted in 2005, and maneuvering is easy with twenty‑four‑volt bow and stern thrusters, Mathers electronic engine controls at three stations, and a Yachtcontroller remote docking station. Navigation is handled by Furuno electronics with a Furuno autopilot and remote, while onboard life is enhanced by a satellite TV system, Vacuflush heads, and separate washer and dryer. An open command bridge with Stidd helm chairs sets the tone for time underway, and the hydraulic TNT tender lift carries a twelve‑foot AB inflatable with center console, Yamaha 40 hp outboard, tach, and lights. This package reads like a wish list for a modern flybridge motor yacht, cruising yacht, and liveaboard.

Accommodations, 3 large staterooms

JB III showcases the widebody Tollycraft layout prized by experienced powerboaters, refined with thoughtful upgrades for daily ease. The full‑beam midships master offers a centered walk‑around queen berth, teak cabinetry with drawers, cedar‑lined hanging storage, and four stainless‑steel portlights with drapes. Storage is abundant with three cabinets and fifteen deep drawers, night‑stand reading lights, and an ensuite head and shower with a bench seat. A mirrored vanity with LED lighting, Corian counter and sink, and a Vacuflush toilet complete a calm owner’s space.

The forward VIP presents a walk‑around centered queen with its own full head, an Old Castle overhead escape hatch, two stainless portlights with drapes, drawers and a hanging locker, reading lamps, and a full‑length mirror. The guest head and shower can be entered from the stateroom or the hallway and features a Corian counter and sink, a dedicated shower stall, and a Vacuflush toilet. The third stateroom provides upper and lower bunks, drawers, a hanging locker, and a full‑length mirror, with a GE stacked washer and dryer conveniently located off the hallway.

The main salon spans the full beam, bathing the space in light through big windows and double sliding doors that open to the cockpit. A port‑forward door leads to the foredeck, while plentiful storage and counter space make longer stays simple. An L‑shaped settee pairs with a matching Stressless lounge chair around a custom high‑gloss teak table. There is direct access forward to the bow and up to the bridge, an entertainment center with a 32‑inch flat‑screen TV and Denon AVR730 stereo, a satellite TV system, and a wet bar with an icemaker. It’s a welcoming arrangement for a flybridge motor yacht suited to family cruising, entertaining, and comfortable liveaboard life.

Gourmet galley

The updated galley features Corian countertops and a double stainless‑steel sink, with smart access and generous storage throughout. Seven upper teak cabinets, three lower teak cabinets, and four lower teak drawers keep provisions organized, while a separate icemaker, refrigerator, dishwasher, and stove support easy meal prep. A glass‑top cooktop, Gaggenau oven, microwave, and a twelve‑inch marine trash compactor round out the appliance suite. Abundant counter space and storage pair with the pilothouse U‑shaped dinette seating and beautiful custom teak‑and‑holly flooring to create a practical hub for a cruising yacht and liveaboard motor yacht.

Pilot house & electronics

At the lower helm, a well‑arranged console houses the electronics, with a starboard pilothouse door for quick side‑deck access. Three defroster vents keep sightlines clear, while the raised U‑shaped settee faces a hi‑low high‑gloss table atop classic teak‑and‑holly flooring. From here you can move up to the flying bridge and forward to the foredeck via the starboard door, or down to the accommodations. Climate control is aided by a Lunaire reverse‑cycle unit and vent, and ten halogen lights brighten the space. Docking is simplified by a Yacht Controller docking station. Navigation and communication are anchored by Furuno MFDBB NavNet 3D, a Furuno FA150/U‑AIS class A transponder, Furuno Hub 101, Furuno DFF1 sounder, ICOM VHF, Furuno DRS6A radar, and a Furuno PSU012 power unit, complemented by a Furuno autopilot. For helm awareness, there are three windshield wipers with washers, full engine monitoring gauges, bow and stern thruster controls, Mathers electronic engine controls at three stations, trim‑tab controls, a windlass control with chain counter, a Tank Tender pump gauge, and the ship’s electrical panel. On the command bridge, twin Stidd helm chairs face a Furuno TZT 14‑inch MFD and IC‑M602 VHF, with Furuno NavNet II, a Robertson autopilot remote, and a YachtController remote docking station. Altogether, this is a pilothouse flybridge suite ready for serious cruising.

Mechanical/electrical

Power comes from twin MTU 8V0183 diesel engines showing one thousand six hundred twenty‑five hours, turning through ZF transmissions with PYI dripless shaft seals. Ship’s service is supported by a twenty kW Onan generator in a soundshield with one thousand one hundred sixty‑five hours and an eight kW Onan generator in a soundshield with one thousand one hundred seventy hours, plus a Xantrex inverter/charger and a dedicated battery for the Mathers/ZF controls. An Arcturus twenty‑four‑volt bow and stern thruster system boosts low‑speed handling, while a thirty‑gallon hot‑water tank and an oil‑change system for mains and generators simplify life aboard. This is a practical, cruise‑ready mechanical plan for a motor yacht meant to travel.

Command bridge

The bridge is fully open‑air, shaded by a huge sun top, and reached by built‑in side‑deck stairs or a cockpit ladder. Big‑boat touches flow across the bridge deck: a radar arch with lighting, dual Stidd helm seats, an L‑shaped settee, and a dining table. There is a lounge with a large sun pad for relaxing at anchor, a nine‑hundred‑pound‑capacity electric davit for handling the tender, and a wet bar with a refrigerator. Aft lies the sun deck, and the bridge soft goods are of newer vintage. It’s a friendly, social layout for a flybridge motor yacht where time on deck matters.

Deck and tender

On deck, ground tackle is handled by a Maxwell 2200 windlass feeding two hundred feet of three‑eighths‑inch chain plus an anchor rode to a Bruce anchor. Lumishore underwater lights add a glow at night, and boarding is aided by stainless “staples” on the step. Control is confident with Mathers ZF electronic engine and bow/stern thruster controls at three stations. The hydraulic tender swim platform and an electric bridge‑deck davit make launch and retrieval simple. The package includes a twelve‑foot AB rigid inflatable with a center console and cover, powered by a Yamaha 40 hp outboard; the tender carries running lights, a tachometer, smart tabs, and a ten‑gallon fuel tank. This is the thoughtful deck plan you expect on a capable cruising yacht.

Huge cockpit

The cockpit is arranged for easy operation and easy living, with engine and thruster controls at hand, a transom door leading to the hydraulic swim platform, and a sliding door straight into the salon. Fresh‑ and seawater washdowns keep decks clean, while boarding steps, an engine‑room hatch, and a teak‑stepped ladder to the flybridge make movement simple. A Napoleon BBQ grill, wet‑bar sink, and storage cabinet serve meals on deck, and access to the lazarette provides ample space for gear. It’s a functional heart of this cockpit motoryacht and flybridge cruiser.
