Welcome To Bennett Brothers Yachts

Bennett Brothers Yachts image
Bennett Brothers Yachts, Inc. was established in 1986 specializing in custom boat building, yacht repair and yacht brokerage. We are conveniently located at the Cape Fear Marina on the Northeast Cape Fear River in historic downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. We are very accessible by land - via I-40; sea - by the Intracoastal or Cape Fear River; or by air - just minutes from the New Hanover International Airport.

The Cape Fear Marina offers slips for sale or lease for yachts from 30 to 100 feet and all the amenities one would expect from a state-of-the-art marina. The marina is well protected and has deep draft in every slip. The docks are massively built with steel pilings and twice treated southern yellow pine reinforced with steel.

CUSTOM BUILDERS
Bennett Brothers Yachts has built its enviable reputation on acclaimed monohulls including the Sparkman & Stephens designed BENNETT 48 and the Bruce Marek designed BENNETT 46. They are also the experts in selling, refitting and sailing the Sparkman & Stephens classic, STEVENS 47.

They have just launched their newest custom yacht, a 48 ft. aluminium sportfish, ARC ON, designed by Dieter Empacher. ARC ON joins the Bennett 48 Custom Sportfish, CATJA, launched 2001, as examples of the exquisite work done by the master craftsmen.

RESTORATION
The craftsmen who build our custom yachts also bring their expertise to our restoration and repair work. From the top of the mast to the bottom of the keel and from stem to stern, Bennett Brothers Yachts is qualified to restore any yacht with the same strict adherence to quality we put into our own designs.Below is a partial list of yachts refitted or serviced recently at the yard.

BROKERAGE
Customized service also extends to our brokerage where salesmanship takes a back seat to product knowledge. We bring a builder's view to brokering, giving you access to knowledge of construction methods that can only come from taking boats apart.

We invite you to look online for the distinguished list of yachts for sale. Then give us a call for more information from one of our brokers. We look forward to talking to you.

There are many fine trawlers out there to choose from - Grand Banks, Selene, Nordic Tug, and Kadey Krogen come to mind - but this aluminum trawler is the rarest of yachts, as it combines elements of structural integrity, economical operation, ease of handling, elegance of design, and creature comforts. "Gallivant" really has everything a cruising couple would want in a 40 foot cruising trawler. Built by Klacko Spars in Ontario, Canada, this boat the first of only two constructed.

Structural Integrity: Welded aluminum hull, radius chine, practical and beautiful. You have more to do when cruising than to fret over osmotic blisters and exterior varnish. This boat is strong, simple, and beautiful.

Economical: Powered by a single Ford 140hp. diesel - a low rpm 6-cylinder Ford marinized by American Diesel Corporation. Burns just under 3 gph at 7 knots (2000rpm) giving this boat a 1000nm range. Bob Smith, founder of American Diesel, has been marinizing Fords since 1981 and is a legend in the trawler world. His engines are slow turning, durable, and easy to service and operate. First overhaul is expected at an amazing 22,000 hours. Incidentally, this single diesel setup is half the maintenance of a twin engine trawler.

Ease of Handling: Vetus bow thruster enables this boat to turn on a dime, and Naiad stabilizers will smooth your ride underway. A closed circuit video system enables the operator to view boats approaching from astern, as well as happenings in the engine room, without leaving the helm.

Elegance of Design: The radius chine hull and fantail stern make exterior pleasing to the eye, but the interior will make you fall in love with this yacht. Custom cherry woodwork, beadboard headliner, and Corian counter tops will give you an indication of the craftsmanship that went into her construction. But "the feel" is harder to quantify in words. The dimensions and positioning of the interior space feel "just right". She has an exceptional layout that must be seen.

Creature Comforts: Everything you want in a cruising trawler - 32,000 BTUs of A/C, full entertainment center, washer/dryer, Electrosan waste treatment... too much to list here, please refer to "full specs".
