1997 Broward Raised Pilothouse

MARGATE is a 111’ Broward Raised Pilothouse that blends classic American craftsmanship with modern upgrades. Built with an aluminum hull and superstructure for strength and reliability, she cruises comfortably at 10 knots and reaches 20 knots at top speed. A comprehensive 2022 refit elevated her to contemporary standards, including new superstructure paint, all-new soft goods, upgraded appliances, refreshed interior finishes, and the addition of a six-person Jacuzzi on the flybridge. The flybridge also features a new walk‑up bar and grill, while the main salon received a redesigned bar for enhanced entertaining.

Her interior is bright, modern, and designed for effortless flow. Expansive windows illuminate the main salon and dining area, creating an inviting atmosphere ideal for socializing. The country-style galley offers a relaxed, family-friendly setting perfect for casual meals and conversation.
