Samson CB

Affordable Waterfront Living—In Downtown Tacoma on a 45' Samson Trawler

Affordability: At just $65,500, in times of rapidly rising housing costs, "Refugio" presents an exceptional value proposition compared to the costs of living in Seattle and Tacoma neighborhoods. Here you can enjoy waterfront living at a fraction of the price.

Unique Design: Crafted with attention to detail, "Refugio" stands out with its unique Samson design with a ferro-cement hull. A trawler of distinction, it combines classic aesthetics with modern functionality.

Exceptional Care: With a history of attentive ownership, "Refugio" is ready to welcome you aboard. The yacht has been well maintained, ensuring a turnkey transition to the new owner’s floating home.

Spacious and Comfortable Living Quarters: Step into a bright salon, complete with a cozy settee, hi-lo table, and a large flat-screen TV. Stay warm with a Dickinson propane heater and a Hurricane diesel hydronic system. The U-shaped galley is a practical delight, featuring a full-size refrigerator, propane stove, microwave, and ample storage.

Pleasant Accommodations: The master stateroom offers a walk-around berth, generous storage, and a head with a fresh water Dometic, sink, and bath/shower combo.

Equipped for Adventure: "Refugio" is not just a floating home; it is your ticket to Puget Sound discoveries. With a large pilothouse, abundant electronics, and reliable diesel Volvo engine, this trawler is ready for the next journey, be it the Salish Sea, to Alaska, or beyond.

Outdoor Living: Enjoy the upper deck's custom stainless steel railing and new marine seats. Entertain with a Magma BBQ, all while taking in the breathtaking views of Mt. Rainier and the Tacoma marina.

Convenient Moorage: The new owner will have the opportunity to secure moorage in full-service Foss Harbor Marina with all its amenities, making this lifestyle both accessible and enjoyable.

Low Mooring Cost: For just around $1K a month including utility and gated parking the berth right on the Foss Waterway provides both privacy and a great neighborhood with the local liveaboard community as well as marine life (loons, seals, otters, and other beautiful creatures), which are fun to watch
every day. Public transportation to Puget Sound destinations is in walking distance.

Alaska Connection: Ferro-cement boats are popular with our Northern friends and neighbors for a very good reason: They know why sturdy boats have an edge in the rough. Brochure at drive.google.com/file/d/1FKiVphjoVF926jaG1NAqdRD_H2WEeqoI/view?usp=sharing
