Welcome Aboard Kandy Girl!
Kandy Girl is a well-equipped 2014 Ranger Tug R-27 Classic, a proven cruising platform that has become a favorite among South Central Alaska boaters. Whether you're chasing salmon, exploring remote coves, or simply enjoying a scenic cruise with family and friends, the R-27 delivers comfort, efficiency, and capability in a trailerable package.
Powered by a reliable Volvo Penta D3-200 diesel engine paired with a straight-shaft, three-blade propeller configuration, Kandy Girl offers dependable performance without the added maintenance and expense associated with sterndrives or outdrives. This simple and proven drivetrain has earned a reputation for reliability and efficiency, making it ideal for long-distance cruising throughout Alaska's waters.
One of the Ranger Tug's greatest strengths is its ability to provide the amenities of a much larger trawler while remaining easily trailerable thanks to its 8'6" beam. Stepping aboard, you'll find a bright and functional cabin featuring a spacious dinette to port and a well-appointed galley to starboard. Also located to starboard is a fully enclosed wet head equipped with a marine toilet, sink, and shower.
At the helm, all controls are conveniently positioned within arm's reach, providing excellent visibility and confidence whether navigating busy harbors or remote anchorages. Large windows throughout the cabin create an open feel while offering outstanding visibility in all directions.
Forward, the V-berth features a comfortable full-size berth complete with a custom mattress, providing a cozy retreat after a day on the water. The dinette easily converts into an additional sleeping area suitable for one adult or two children. Aft on the port side, the quarter berth offers another spacious sleeping area that can comfortably accommodate one adult or two children, making overnight adventures easy for the whole family.
The Ranger Tug R-27 packs the systems and accommodations of a much larger cruising vessel into a compact and efficient design. Cruise economically at displacement speeds and enjoy exceptional fuel economy, or bring her up on step and cruise at approximately 15 knots when it's time to cover more water.

Kandy Girl is ready for her next owners to add their personal touch and continue creating memories on the water. If you've been searching for a capable, economical, and comfortable cruising boat perfectly suited for Alaska adventures, Kandy Girl deserves a closer look.
