"Margaritaville" is a robust, steel Pilothouse Cutter, built by Howdy Bailey in VA to the Bruce Roberts 392 plans in 2000 for serious, ocean-capable cruising. Its steel construction ensures strength and longevity, offering a practical and affordable platform for the hands-on buyer seeking a capable passagemaker.

A comfortable pilothouse offers helm station, seating and a table.

On deck, the vessel is outfitted with a second helm station, an anchor windlass, solar panels, two wind generators and more.
