Share Listing

  • Sapho is a 1981 classic tri‑cabin trawler built for comfortable, long‑range coastal cruising. With the trusted CHB/Sea Chief pedigree, her hand‑laid fiberglass full‑displacement hull delivers the stability and “salty” charm these boats are famous for.
    She carries 400 gallons of fuel and 200 gallons of water and has already proven herself over 24 years exploring Southeast Alaska.
    Inside, Sapho feels like a warm teak retreat. The private aft suite features a queen berth, ample storage, and an ensuite head with a rare tub and shower. The bright midship salon serves as the social heart of the boat, offering an L‑shaped dinette, lower helm, and wraparound windows. Guests enjoy a forward V‑berth with twin bunks, private head, and vanity.
    Powered by the legendary Ford Lehman 120 hp diesel, she cruises efficiently at 7–8 knots while burning just 1.5 gallons per hour. Dual helm stations—inside and on the flybridge—provide comfort and control in any weather.
    Wide walk‑around decks, high bulwarks, and extensive teak interior details complete the package. Sapho is a dependable, character‑rich cruiser ready for her next adventure.
