New CE-47 model and Coastal Expedition series announced

Hi all - some new news for today's reading!

Let me say first, THANK YOU, to all the new supporters of Pacific Expedition Yachts. Your comments and interest has been such a pleasure to see as we grow into bigger and bigger shoes here at PEY. Some expanded space coming in a week or so at the facility and more interior work to show in a few days..... but for now a new announcement!!!

Drum roll please!....

Introducing the new CE-47 model and Coastal Expedition Series from Pacific Expedition Yachts.

The CE, or Coastal Expedition, range represents an entirely new line of boats to be offered from Pacific Expedition Yachts. The first model, the CE-47, is a full displacement hull design that offers outstanding fuel economy at slower long-range speeds as well as the ability to run up to and exceeding 20 knots. This is the kind of flexibility our customers are looking for in a very stable boat designed for local waters as well as the open ocean. These are just as robust as the larger PE series but with smaller tank capacities. The CE series is certainly capable of all weather performance and will be at home from Alaska to the Caribbean. The beams will be limited to about 17-18 feet as well.

The first hull is already sold and under construction as a CE-44 prototype. We should have it out and testing before the Ft Lauderdale show 2008 and fully finished in early 2009 for the early boating season. We will be able to provide real world data this fall.

Please note that the CE series is a flexible platform that can accommodate several designs, floor plans and layouts from the 3 stateroom raised pilot house model under construction, to the low profile Express and even a Sport-Fisher!. Please contact us for more information if you would like to discuss the yachts. This section of the site, full specs, as well as our blog will be updated as we progress.

The main website will be undated in a day or so as well.

All the best!

Pat and John
