Sea Smoke Checks All the Boxes!
Ask yourself these 3 questions:
1) Are you an owner/operator?
2) Do you want to cruise offshore to places like the Florida Keys, Bahamas and Island chain?
3) Do you want to do the Great Loop?
- If you answered yes to one of these 3 questions, you are going to fall in love with Sea Smoke! She checks all the boxes for a weekend adventure, extended cruising, liveaboard or office/condo/retreat away from home.
- Bring the family, I mean the whole family! There is plenty of room. If you want privacy, no problem, you have 9 different places to sit and read a book or take a nap. You can dine in the galley, the aft salon, the flybridge or the cockpit. This boat has more space than many homes. I cannot say enough about how the use of space is amazing in this Islander Motoryacht.
- In addition to the accommodations having a/c and heat, you also have a/c and heat in the aft salon AND the flybridge.
- She has plenty of speed with top speed at 22 knots and you can cruise at 18 knots or less. Fast or slow, it's your choice, based on weather, the current and when you need to get there.
- You will appreciate the quality, the space and the safety features that Novatec incorporates into their boats. They still build boats today!
- Sea Smoke just returned from the Islands and is available for immediate cruising. Owners are moving to a larger boat. She is easy to see in Ft. Lauderdale.

Fuel Burn and Range
- At 5 KTS you burn about 6 gallons per hour Total ( slow speed intercoastal)
- At 10 KTS you burn a total of 6-8 per hour per engine ( Typical conservative cruise speed)
- At 20 you burn nearly 20 gallons per hour per engine = 40 Total per hour ( Fast Cruise speed)
- At 22 kts you are burning 30 GPH per engine 60 GPH ( top end)
SO, you have 795 on Board ( FULL) to have a reserve and an allowance for the generator, say you can burn 700 gallons of fuel. Divide GPH burn rate above to get Endurance / duration / distance
700 /6 = 115 Hours
700/12 = 58 hours
700/20 = 35 hours
3 kts Super SLOW = 1000+ miles of range
Fast = 650+ miles
Sea conditions, wind, currents all effect this calculation easily 10% +/- within any range calculation. The seller has not run the boat more than 150 miles in a single day. So at 10 KTS that's 5 days+.

About Novatec
Novatec is built by Nova Marine. They are one of the largest boat builders in Taiwan and have been building boats for 38 years. They are still building boats today. The Islander model was introduced in the late 1990's as a comfortable cruising yacht for all generations. This still holds true today.
She is a coastal cruiser meaning she is offshore capable to cruise to the Bahamas. You can see the focus on safety with all the handrails and high rails on the walkways to protect you in rough seas.
You will definitely be surprised at how Novatec made the most of interior and exterior volume when they designed this Islander Cockpit Motoryacht. You really have to see this boat to believe the space and feel the volume.
