Desco Pilothouse - Luxury Living on SF Bay

With its' two deck interior and its rooftop views of Berkeley, Emeryville , the marina, and the Bay with its diverse boat traffic; it is a very popular spot for guests and friends to relax and view breathtaking sunsets.

One bride shared how amazing it was to get married in the lucious park surrounding the Emeryville Marina and then to have had her wedding reception on the Barkissimo.  Her family then stayed on the yacht as well. 

This is just a small sampling of the praise that has come their way as a B&B.  But it doesn't end there.  This boat has the full capability to be a private motor yacht or full, luxury liveaboard as well; your choice.  Either way Barkissimo comes with a 400 horse power Caterpillar diesel.  The Seller is both a contractor and a Master Boatright.  He has put the past 17 years of heartfelt craftsmanship into her complete restoration.

It's easy to picture...at the end of a long day how wonderful it would be to soak in the hottub and take in the stars that night.   

The large, lovely windows surround the salon offering 270 degree views of the Bay and its environs.  The comfortable couches that line the walls of the salon allow near perfect comfort for guests to sink into.  Even this yacht's heads have been given a full and unique artistic treatment.  The three VIP cabins are luxurious.  One even features a Jacuzzi tub with shower.  They could be master suites on other boats.

Only the lovely mansions of the Marin Coast come close to the elegance of the Barkissimo which proudly features a full restaurant-scale, gourmet galley and leaded glass doors. It has such a warm and welcoming feeling that this boat enjoys many repeat customers.

Wealth, by definition, promises options in any venue.  In this splendid example there are three options contained.  This is a 74' luxury motor yacht with three superb VIP staterooms plus Crew and a magnificent full-width Master.  Your entire family will love this boat. 

 Barkissimo could be a luxury tour boat.   This boat would be the best vantage point on the Bay for the America's Cup Races.  She's a turn-key investment in an economically efficient, luxury asset.  

This is an opportunity that delivers options for the willing Investor(s)  A proposition like this is worthy of serious consideration, and you can rest assured it will not last long on the market.

Now's the time to come, to see, to enjoy, and to stay awhile.
