Driving a diesel powered yacht around the world can not be considered "going green". However, George Buehler's sail assisted Diesel Ducks not only leave a small footprint on our planet, they leave a lot more "green" in your bank account. If you want, we could paint your new Duck green.

SEAHORSE MARINE, Zhuhai, China, is an American owned and operated yacht factory building steel yachts including Diesel Ducks designed by George Buehler

Because our steel yachts, including Diesel Ducks, are sold directly to end-users, without advertising or promotions, our prices are about one half of similarly equipped passagemakers.

Steel Diesel Ducks are built for serious ocean passagemaking and include important safety features not found on most competitor's yachts:
1) Strong steel fireproof hulls;
2) Extensive double bottoms;
3) Full recovery from capsize (if pilothouse integrity maintained);
4) Many interior watertight compartments with sea doors;
5) Toroidal isolation transformers instead of welding types;
6) Built in folding boarding ladders port and stbd;
7) Strong commercial windows, ports and hatches;
9) Extra height safety rails, chest high at pilothouse door;
10) Optional Sail Assistance, easy to use sailing rigs for extended range, stabilization and "come home" capabilities;
11) Watertight transom storage area for sports gear, outboard, etc.;
12) Single large fuel fill with manifold for all fwd tanks;
13) Several independent bilge pump systems;
14) Steps, not a ladder, to the swim/dive/boarding platform which has safety rails and a swim boarding ladder;
15) All LED lighting, interior and exterior, with two 180 watt solar panels standard;
16) 80" headroom and bed lengths in all Ducks, 38 feet to 78 feet;
17) Flexible motor mounts with "U" joint Carden shaft and thrust bearing;
18) Welds X-Rayed and all tanks pressure tested;
19) Spray foam insulation in the hull, minimum 1 1/4" thick;
20) Powerful LED "Crab Pot/Debris" light on bow;
21) Plus many other exclusive features.

Our lines include: OCEANEER power trawlers 55 feet and up: DIESEL DUCKS range from 38 feet to 78 feet. Plus our popular 36 foot Coot and 38' PUFFINS.

Most passagemaker owners start their cruises from the factory. However, shipping and commissioning on arrival can be arranged.
