Makani is a beautifully kept 1993 Gozzard 44 MK1 AC, a classic bluewater cutter that blends traditional craftsmanship with serious offshore capability. With an overall length of 50 feet, her solid fiberglass hull and fin keel deliver the kind of reassuring, comfortable ride, stability, tracking, and responsiveness that Gozzards are known for. She is equally at home passagemaking offshore or cruising comfortably along the coast.
Power comes from a dependable 71 hp Westerbeke diesel inboard, offering confident propulsion in tight harbors or challenging conditions. Below deck, the interior is warm, inviting, and intelligently arranged — designed for extended living aboard without sacrificing functionality. Rich joinery, practical storage, and a seagoing layout create a space that is both elegant and purposeful, ideal for long-distance cruisers or liveaboards who appreciate quality construction.
Makani is particularly well-suited for adventure-minded owners. The current owners are avid divers and outfitted the boat with a dedicated dive compressor, turning her into a capable floating dive platform. For many years, she has proven her reliability on annual winter passages to the Bahamas, supporting extended trips focused on exploration and diving.
The vessel has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded throughout her ownership. Every system reflects attentive care and a commitment to keeping the boat ready for serious cruising.

- All new upholstery

This is a vessel that offers confidence, comfort, and enduring elegance in equal measure.

Overview
Makani features the highly desirable Gozzard 44 Layout A, offering an open interior that feels remarkably spacious for a yacht of this size. Gozzard’s thoughtful design maximizes storage, livability, and comfort, finished in beautiful cherry joinery with a high-gloss teak and holly sole throughout.
Interior
Forward is a full-beam storage compartment in the main saloon and contains the forward air-conditioning unit with removable shelving.
The main saloon is bright and open, centered around a large U-shaped settee and a versatile centerline table that converts from a cocktail table to a full dining table with a tabletop insert. This area converts to a generous double guest berth and can be closed off with hinged privacy doors. Two sliding swivel chairs allow flexible seating for dining or conversation.
A two-person dinette sits just aft of the saloon opposite a well-designed amidships galley with a center island for secure bracing underway.
.
Aft of the galley is the navigation station with a large chart deck, seat, built-in electronics, electrical panels, and battery switches
Dual heads are positioned opposite the galley and dinette with a separate stall shower between them, allowing flexible privacy arrangements for owners and guests. The aft head has been converted to a workroom with a generator, a large toolbox, and extensive storage for spares. The shower area holds the dive compressor.
The owner’s stateroom aft to port features a king-size berth, abundant lockers and drawers, and private access to the aft workroom. The inboard bulkhead has been modified with a removable panel to allow additional engine access.
Opposite is a navigation station and a double quarter berth. The berth’s forward section serves as the nav seat with a removable backrest.
Additional features:

- Curtains

Cockpit & Deck
The cockpit is exceptionally spacious and designed for entertaining, featuring a large drop-leaf table for outdoor dining. A hinged transom folds down to create a convenient boarding ladder and swim platform, with a freshwater cockpit shower nearby.
Companionway access is through stained-glass doors with plexiglass drop boards for offshore conditions. Teak cockpit seating and sole complement the classic teak wheel at the binnacle.
Forward on deck, a large anchor locker sits just aft of the bowsprit, allowing easy chain washdown before retrieval — a practical cruising detail.
