What Is a DeFever 52 Offshore Cruiser?
A great long-range cruiser, the 52 is a “flush-deck” design that yields amazing interior accommodations for her length. The owner’s stateroom aft has 12 feet of closets for comfortable live-aboard cruisers. The master head has a tub. The guest stateroom, forward of the walk-in engine room, is as spacious as the owner’s stateroom, making the 52 a very comfortable boat for two couples. A third stateroom in the bow will accommodate two more in stacked bunks. Run this boat from either the pilothouse or the enormous bridge. The boat deck will carry a tender up to 15 feet in length. With water at 500 gallons and fuel at 1500, this one will easily do 1200 miles between fuel stops. And you will be amazed at the 6 foot 4 headroom in the engine room. Built by the CTF yard in Taiwan, primarily from 1980 to 1991, some versions were factory-built in later years with an extended hull for a cockpit.
