PRETTI ROSE, a classic Downeast 54 Custom Lobster yacht, epitomizes the blend of timeless tradition and discerning family values. Built with a Mussel Ridge 54 hull, deck, and superstructure by the skilled team at Newport Yacht Builders under Jim Thompson's leadership, this yacht showcases meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. Her construction was carefully monitored by her owner, a prominent industry professional, and Ezra Smith, the lead designer, ensuring every aspect was perfected. Often referred to as the “Workboat that Works,” PRETTI ROSE offers a unique cruising experience with a fun-filled Narragansett Bay flair, making her the coolest lobster yacht in the world.

PRETTI ROSE is powered efficiently by a single 1550 MAN Diesel Engine, delivering both performance and reliability. A standout feature is her Seakeeper gyro stabilizer, which operates on 110v AC power and is air-cooled. Located in the mechanical space aft of the shower, this stabilizer can also run on battery power, ensuring stability in all sea conditions. Her striking exterior design harmonizes tradition and functionality, creating an ideal work platform. The massive single-level cockpit is accessible through inward-opening side doors on both port and starboard sides just aft of the house. The entire opening transom, with movable stern seating positioned forward, offers an open and versatile space for lounging, toy storage, and safe movement in any seaway. Wide-decked, tall cockpit coamings provide excellent casual seating and a safe area for young ones and pets. A small davit to port aids in tender hauling, enhancing her practical functionality.

The Herreshoff-style interior of PRETTI ROSE is expertly crafted, combining traditional woodwork with modern design elements to create a timeless ambiance. The pilothouse, under an extended roof, houses a full galley to port with a Miele cooktop, oven, two generous refrigerator drawers, one freezer drawer, and a deep stainless steel double sink. The spacious, raised L-shaped dining table from centerline to starboard, the well-appointed helm station with smartly placed Navionics controls and steering to starboard, and the redundancy of most controls at the co-helm seat to port, highlight the thoughtful design. The pilothouse is enclosed by isinglass panels, offering 270 degrees of visibility, and features an easy-access door to starboard. Fully air-conditioned, this space also includes numerous opening hatches on the roof, as well as operable windshield and side ports, providing ample natural ventilation.

PRETTI ROSE comfortably accommodates up to six guests across three beautifully appointed cabins. The owner’s suite, forward from the house, features a queen centerline island berth, shelves to port and starboard, and full-length hanging lockers. The well-appointed head-to-starboard includes an under-mounted sink, abundant storage in lockers and drawers, and a large en-suite shower aft. The shower door conceals an additional doorway for easy access to the machinery space under the cockpit. A guest cabin to port offers an L-shaped single berth arrangement that can accommodate two adults or children, providing versatility and comfort. This cabin, along with a second head forward to port, ensures that guests have private, comfortable accommodations. The third cabin, accessed from the cockpit, adds to the yacht’s versatility, making it perfect for family gatherings or kids' slumber parties.

PRETTI ROSE's exterior embodies true lobster yacht styling with custom bench seating that slides forward to offer an open transom, facilitating easy launching of tenders or toys and providing excellent access to the sea. The massive cockpit space is ideal for relaxing, storing water toys, and ensuring safety in all conditions. Her wide-decked, tall cockpit coamings not only provide great seating but also create a secure environment for young ones and pets.

PRETTI ROSE offers a brilliant layout with comfortable access, smart sleeping quarters, and thoughtful details, making her a standout in the world of Downeast cruisers. She is a near-new, meticulously maintained yacht that promises an exceptional cruising experience.
