2002 American Tug 34 — Free Spirit
Bristol Condition and coming to market soon!
Free Spirit beautifully maintained American Tug 34 offering true four‑season cruising capability, a warm handcrafted interior, and a robust systems package designed for serious passagemaking. This vessel presents with exceptional care, thoughtful upgrades, and the hallmark build quality American Tug is known for.
Equipped with the Cummins 6BTA 5.9 370HP six‑cylinder diesel, she can cruise efficiently at 7.3 knots while sipping fuel, or you can take advantage of the semi‑displacement hull and run her up to about 17 knots when you need to outrun weather or adverse currents. With a range of 1,600 miles, extended cruising becomes straightforward and comfortable with a custom 200-gallon water tank and 400 gallons of diesel.
She’s outfitted with Side‑Power bow and stern thrusters, an Espar forced‑air diesel furnace, a Reverso oil‑change system, a Racor filtration system, an automatic fire extinguisher, a new AGM battery bank, and a Victron inverter/charging system. Free Spirit is equipped with a 10' AB Navigo coupled with a 25hp Yamaha electric start 25hp four-stroke engine with Sunbrella chaps mounted on a Tomco stainless davit system with electric winch.
The boat has been kept in a boat house since 2018 in fresh water. She is currently under covered moorage in Anacortes.
Her current owner acquired the boat and undertook a significant refit, including:
Under previous ownership, additional upgrades were made, including:
Free Spirit has played a significant role in the history of American Tug, being built and commissioned by the company's first salesperson and later owned by the CEO of American Tug.

Accommodations
Entering from the cockpit, the salon welcomes you with abundant natural light and an open, connected layout to the pilothouse. To starboard is the well‑appointed galley; to port, a long Ultraleather settee with a teak‑and‑maple Hi‑Lo table featuring a hinged drop leaf. Teak‑and‑holly‑look flooring and hand‑rubbed teak joinery create a warm, inviting atmosphere.
The port settee converts to a near‑queen berth, ideal for guests. A corner locker provides additional storage, and pleated blinds offer both sheer and opaque privacy options. The open staircase to the pilothouse enhances visibility and flow, with no bulkheads interrupting the space.
Climate control is excellent, with both Espar forced‑air diesel heat and air conditioning serving the entire vessel.
