2006 American Tug 3434ft

The Powerboat Guide calls Tomco Marine’s American Tug 34 a “sought-after coastal cruiser … loaded with practical features.” It starts with the pilothouse design. The steering station is to starboard behind an ample, sturdy trawler-style windshield, with side doors to access the decks. The high bulwarks make moving around the boat safe and secure.

The single-stateroom layout below begins with a large master cabin forward, laid out with a queen-size island berth and direct access to the head compartment, which is designed with a large separate shower stall, along with the usual amenities.

Up three steps is the pilothouse. The helm station has good sightlines for docking or picking up a mooring, ample room for charts and electronics, and bench seats for comfort. The L-shaped galley-up is aft in the saloon, to starboard. Standard equipment includes a double-sink, a three-burner stove and an oven, along with a refrigerator/freezer unit and a microwave.

The L-shaped lounge along the port side converts to a double bunk. The cabinetry below is finished in teak.
