Custom Steel Bluewater Cruiser with Three Private Staterooms, Three Heads, Center Cockpit, Newer Perkins Diesel, and Exceptional Interior Volume
KRAKEN is a unique custom Bruce Roberts 64: a steel, heavy-displacement, center-cockpit bluewater cruiser built for the kind of owner who values strength, volume, serviceability, and true offshore capability. Designed by Bruce Roberts-Goodson, the Roberts 64 design family has long appealed to passagemakers and liveaboards because it combines substantial displacement, protected cockpit ergonomics, generous beam, robust construction options, and the ability to support highly individualized interiors and systems.
KRAKEN is not a standard production yacht. Her value lies in the combination of a serious steel hull, custom interior execution, tremendous accommodation volume, three private staterooms, three heads, a deep protected cockpit, cutter rig, in-boom furling main, substantial deck gear, solar, wind generation, dinghy davits, and a newer Perkins 6.354 diesel with very low reported hours. She offers the scale and feel of a much larger cruising yacht while remaining in a size range that can still be managed by a knowledgeable private owner.
The interior is one of KRAKEN’s defining attributes. Finished with warm custom woodwork and maple sole work completed by Tiara Yachts, the yacht has a bright, residential feel rarely found aboard traditional heavy-displacement steel cruising yachts. The saloon is expansive, the galley uses full-size appliances, the nav station is unusually substantial, and each of the three cabins has access to its own head. For extended living aboard, owner-operated cruising, remote voyaging, or a buyer seeking a one-of-a-kind platform for continued customization, KRAKEN offers an impressive foundation.
Her steel construction is central to the story. Steel remains a respected material for long-range voyaging because of its impact resistance, repairability, and suitability for remote cruising. Combined with the Bruce Roberts design heritage, a protected center cockpit, substantial aft deck, skeg-style offshore concept, and generous displacement, KRAKEN has the core attributes serious voyagers look for in a custom high-latitude, long-range, or liveaboard platform.
KRAKEN should be viewed as a substantial custom yacht with meaningful recent investment and systems still to be verified. Her newer Perkins diesel, large interior volume, protected cockpit, custom joinery, deck layout, and bluewater design pedigree make her a rare and compelling offering for a buyer who understands custom yachts and wants a strong offshore platform with room, character, and serious cruising potential.
Key Features:
Denison Yachting is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel. This boat is centrally listed by David Walters Yachts.
Denison Yacht Sales offers the details of this yacht in good faith but can’t guarantee the accuracy of this information nor warrant the condition of this boat for sale. This yacht for sale is offered subject to prior sale, price change, or withdrawal from that yacht market without notice. She is offered as a convenience by this yacht broker to its clients and is not intended to convey direct representation of a specific yacht for sale.
KRAKEN’s interior is what separates her from the typical custom steel cruiser. The yacht has the volume, headroom, storage, and separation expected of a much larger offshore platform, yet the interior finish keeps the boat warm and inviting rather than industrial. Her layout is arranged around a large central saloon, substantial navigation station, walk-through galley, three private staterooms, and three heads.
Entering from the center cockpit, the companionway leads into a broad main saloon with substantial seating, a large dinette, surrounding cabinetry, overhead skylight-style openings, and excellent natural light. The space has the scale to function as a proper living room aboard, with room for entertaining, provisioning, sail handling projects, or extended life aboard.
The navigation station is positioned to starboard near the companionway and is sized for serious passagemaking. It includes a dedicated bench, large work surface, chart storage, electronics, and the kind of working space that is often missing aboard modern production yachts. The galley is located to port and aft, arranged as a walk-through space with full-size appliances, generous counters, deep storage, and practical access to the engine room.
The accommodation plan provides a full-beam aft owner’s stateroom, a forward VIP cabin, and a midship guest cabin, each supported by its own head arrangement. This makes KRAKEN especially attractive for liveaboard owners, extended family cruising, owner plus crew use, or guests aboard for longer passages.
Interior Styling and Additional Features:
MAIN SALON (IF POWER), MAIN SALOON (IF SAIL)
The main saloon is a major selling point aboard KRAKEN. The space is broad, bright, and genuinely useful, with a large dining area to port, lounge space to starboard, and a substantial navigation station near the companionway. The volume is the kind of space normally associated with much larger yachts, giving KRAKEN the feel of a floating home rather than a cramped passage vessel.
MASTER STATEROOM
The aft master stateroom is a full-beam private suite with a centerline walkaround berth, warm custom woodwork, overhead natural light, seating, and extensive storage. This is one of the strongest interior spaces aboard KRAKEN and gives the yacht true liveaboard comfort.
Master Head
The master head is arranged ensuite to the aft stateroom and features a separate shower stall, ceramic tile surfaces, and a custom vanity arrangement.
VIP STATEROOM
The forward VIP stateroom provides a spacious guest cabin with a semi-walkaround queen berth, good storage, and private access to the forward head.
VIP Head
The forward VIP head is located near the bow and provides private head and shower facilities for the forward cabin.
GUEST CABIN (PORT/STARBOARD)
The midship guest cabin is located to starboard of the companionway and provides a private berth arrangement with direct access to its own head. The location is practical for guests, crew, or passage use because it is close to the cockpit and central to the boat’s motion.
The galley is a secure walk-through arrangement to port and aft of the saloon. It is fitted with full-size appliances, granite counters, a double stainless-steel sink, and extensive storage. The layout is well suited to long-term living aboard and extended cruising where provisioning capacity and normal household function matter.
NAVIGATION STATION
KRAKEN’s navigation station is a serious working station rather than a decorative desk. Positioned to starboard near the companionway, it includes a dedicated bench, large desk surface, overhead chart storage, and electronics within reach.
ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS
The electronics package includes Garmin chartplotting and radar with Raymarine sailing instruments and autopilot.
HELM STATION
HULL
KRAKEN is built around a steel Bruce Roberts 64 hull, giving her the strength, impact resistance, and repairability that make steel attractive for remote cruising and serious voyaging. The Bruce Roberts 64 design family is known as a spacious, heavy-displacement offshore cruising platform suitable for steel, aluminum, or fiberglass construction and for highly individualized custom builds.
DECK
KRAKEN’s deck layout is arranged for utility and long-range cruising, with substantial aft deck space, dinghy davits, solar, wind generation, large ground tackle, and deck storage.
COCKPIT
The high-sided center cockpit gives KRAKEN a protected and secure command position. With a full Isinglass enclosure, cockpit cushions, table, and surrounding sail-handling controls, the cockpit supports both passagemaking and time at anchor.
MAST AND RIGGING
SAILS AND WINCHES
ENGINE AND MECHANICAL
The main propulsion package is a major point of interest, with a newer Perkins 6.354 diesel reported at very low hours. The engine room is accessible from the galley cabinetry and should be a focal point of buyer inspection.
PLUMBING AND TANKAGE
KRAKEN’s tankage and plumbing should be verified carefully as part of due diligence, particularly because custom yachts often differ from original design assumptions and prior owner documentation.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AUDIO/VISUAL AND ENTERTAINMENT EQUIPMENT
Cockpit speaker arrangement
KRAKEN is a distinctive offering for the right buyer: a custom steel Bruce Roberts 64 with the scale, presence, and interior volume that few production yachts can match. Her strengths are clear: a serious steel hull, protected center cockpit, massive saloon, three private staterooms, three heads, full-size galley, custom Tiara-finished interior elements, and a newer Perkins diesel with very low reported hours.
This is not the right yacht for a buyer seeking a simple, modern production boat. KRAKEN is a custom vessel and should be approached as such, with proper survey, systems verification, and an understanding of the opportunities and responsibilities that come with custom steel yachts. For a knowledgeable owner, she offers a substantial foundation for long-range cruising, liveaboard use, refit personalization, or continued development into a serious offshore voyager.
