BLUE MIST is a true piece of American History.  She has been gracing the waterfront with her presence for over 95 years and is more of a head turner now than when she was first launched.  She is a unique opportunity to obtain a place in the history of American yachting.  Her recent travels have included a tour of the Bahamas and going to the prestigious 20th Annual Classic Rendezvous held at Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, December 2014.  Even admidst the truly classic Burgers, Chris Crafts, Grebes and Trumpy's she was the star of the show and took home the SPIRIT OF TRADITION award.

BLUE MIST was constructed in 1917 on the banks of the Harlem River in Morris Heights, NY by the Charles L. Seabury Co., a prominent yacht builder, and the Gas Engine & Power Co. Her original hull number is 2553 and she was better known in those years as a "Speedway"!  After a merger of these builders a few years later, these boats were known as "Consolidated Yachts".

BLUE MIST is a completely, and professionally, restored commuter yacht with all of the creature comforts found aboard the modern cruising vessel. All of her systems and structure have been modernized, and during her 95 years of service she has been tasked with many jobs, from a private family yacht, U.S. Coast Guard patrol boat, Yacht Club tender to her most recent duty as the West / Rhode Riverkeeper evening cruise vessel for contributors.

The exterior design elements, pilothouse and salon are basically all original. The forward cabin has been redesigned to make the accommodations comfortable for a live aboard couple. The boat is complete with modern amenities like refrigeration, reverse cycle air conditioning, generator, hot water and shower. Her hull was professionally reconstructed and sheathed in fiberglass in 1983 by Hartge Yacht Yard and finished in White with Awlgrip for ease of maintenance.  This offering represents a very unusual opportunity to acquire a true "classic" which has been modernized and can be cruised with ease and will be the center of attention in any harbor, marina or Yacht Club!

BLUE MIST would be perfect for a day charter service or a couple's live aboard gliding through the yacht club on your way to dinner or simply cruising on a lovely afternoon.  Located in the Palm Beaches of Florida, she is looking for a new owner who will treasure her and appreciate her for the glorious work of art she really is.  There will always be a pride of ownership of such a unique and lovely yacht.
