2002 Bruce Roberts 64

Custom Steel Bluewater Cruiser with Three Private Staterooms, Three Heads, Center Cockpit, Newer Perkins Diesel, and Exceptional Interior Volume

KRAKEN is a unique custom Bruce Roberts 64: a steel, heavy-displacement, center-cockpit bluewater cruiser built for the kind of owner who values strength, volume, serviceability, and true offshore capability. Designed by Bruce Roberts-Goodson, the Roberts 64 design family has long appealed to passagemakers and liveaboards because it combines substantial displacement, protected cockpit ergonomics, generous beam, robust construction options, and the ability to support highly individualized interiors and systems.

KRAKEN is not a standard production yacht. Her value lies in the combination of a serious steel hull, custom interior execution, tremendous accommodation volume, three private staterooms, three heads, a deep protected cockpit, cutter rig, in-boom furling main, substantial deck gear, solar, wind generation, dinghy davits, and a newer Perkins 6.354 diesel with very low reported hours. She offers the scale and feel of a much larger cruising yacht while remaining in a size range that can still be managed by a knowledgeable private owner.

The interior is one of KRAKEN’s defining attributes. Finished with warm custom woodwork and cherry sole work completed by Tiara Yachts, the yacht has a bright, residential feel rarely found aboard traditional heavy-displacement steel cruising yachts. The saloon is expansive, the galley uses full-size appliances, the nav station is unusually substantial, and each of the three cabins has access to its own head. For extended living aboard, owner-operated cruising, remote voyaging, or a buyer seeking a one-of-a-kind platform for continued customization, KRAKEN offers an impressive foundation.

Her steel construction is central to the story. Steel remains a respected material for long-range voyaging because of its impact resistance, repairability, and suitability for remote cruising. Combined with the Bruce Roberts design heritage, a protected center cockpit, substantial aft deck, skeg-style offshore concept, and generous displacement, KRAKEN has the core attributes serious voyagers look for in a custom high-latitude, long-range, or liveaboard platform.

KRAKEN should be viewed as a substantial custom yacht with meaningful recent investment and systems still to be verified. Her newer Perkins diesel, large interior volume, protected cockpit, custom joinery, deck layout, and bluewater design pedigree make her a rare and compelling offering for a buyer who understands custom yachts and wants a strong offshore platform with room, character, and serious cruising potential.
