"Heart's Desire" is an American-made classic with a fifteen year production run. This US built cruiser is a fine example of utilization of space. Her solid fiberglass hull designed by Jack Hargrave ( e.g. Bertram and Hatteras Yachts) offers excellent stability and range. This excellent offshore cruiser is truly a home away from home. Twin Perkins 6.354's-- with only 2600 hours offer great fuel efficiency. Heart's Desire is a solid, carefully used yacht. This long-range cruiser features an interior that is very inviting with warm teak and mahogany finish, an extra large salon, two staterooms, two heads, galley down, and a giant 12 x 14 aft master stateroom, an equal sized aft deck and an upper and lower helm. There is voluminous storage throughout.

A large, carpeted, hardtop-covered aft deck has a full enclosure as well as a fully enclosed flybridge. This vessel has been updated from inside to out. If you are looking for a great live-aboard cruiser this is it. Spacious and bright, the interior has new carpeting and decor.
