1998 Dean 440

General Description

If you were to walk down a dock full of large catamarans, the Dean would stand out with its overly raked mast and unique aerodynamic styling hull shape. Beautifully fitted out in high gloss cherry throughout she oozes comfort and warmth. 4 cabins with in-suites and bathrooms a plenty ensure comfort at sea is a given. With a very well thought out large aft deck she is comfortable for entertaining or on the high seas.

A well-loved and expertly maintained Dean. She has completed several voyages across the Atlantic and cruised the Caribbean down to South America. Over the years she has completed at least 14 round trip ICW voyages from Southern New England to the Florida Keys including offshore passages with Bahamas cruising.
