BERNADETTE | 71' 1958 Trumpy

BERNADETTE, Contract #380, is the last coveted Trumpy fantail houseboats built. She was originally named AURORA, commissioned and designed by John Trumpy himself as his personal yacht. Later names, in the correct order, include: MARCOO, PRIMA DONNA, DARIL-X, SYLVIA, AURORA, LITCHFIELD LADY, and finally BERNADETTE. Her present owner has continued the first-rate custodianship of this very fortunate yacht performing a complete multi-million dollar rebuild in 2009 and maintaining her to exact standards since. Those inspecting her will find her in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition with updated systems, basically wanting for nothing but a new owner’s personal touches.

BERNADETTE features John Trumpy's most desirable “galley-up” arrangement plan. Wheelhouse forward, followed by a full beam galley (with pass-through to the salon and access to the port side deck), large salon, and a beautiful fantail aft deck that can be open to the breeze or enclosed during inclement weather. Crew area is forward on the lower level followed by the engine room, two full beam cabins with ensuite heads.

Forward is a John Trumpy designed and built chest of drawers and a swing door to the galley and built in corner cupboard to starboard. All saloon paneling is beautifully finished in black walnut.

BERNADETTE is without a doubt the most elegant, nicely equipped and maintained Trumpy currently on the market. Her classic fantail profile, generous owner and guest cabins, and large crew quarters make her very comfortable for entertaining or extended cruising. The present owner has capitalized multiple millions in improvements during her major refit in 2009 on up to the present to ensure she is as sound and reliable as possible. She shows beautifully and those who inspect her will find she does not disappoint.
