FOR SALE: 92’ William Garden Pilothouse Cutter – Commercially Documented | ABS Tonnage <200 GRT | 12-Passenger Uninspected Charter Eligibility
August Maverick represents a rare opportunity to acquire a large, U.S.-documented sailing yacht with ABS tonnage under 200 GRT, qualifying it to legally carry up to 12 passengers for hire without a Certificate of Inspection.
She is currently in damaged condition following a hurricane and will require significant repair work before returning to service. Pre-storm, the vessel was valued near $900,000 and operated in the luxury charter market. A full refit could result in a charter-capable asset valued at over $2M, depending on scope and outfitting.
Key features:
ABS Tonnage >100 GRT and <200 GRT12-Pax uninspected passenger exemption under USCG regsDesigned by William Garden — proven offshore cutter pedigreePreviously documented for commercial charter workSpacious pilothouse, multi-cabin layout
Offered as-is, where-is. Ideal for a charter operator, experienced project buyer, or investor seeking a high-upside refit.
This vessel is one of the few on the market with ABS tonnage over 100 GRT, allowing legal charter for up to 12 passengers without a COI. That means it avoids the expensive inspection and equipment requirements of Subchapter T vessels — while still being fully compliant for commercial use. For a buyer looking to enter the U.S. charter market quickly and with fewer regulatory barriers, this is an exceptional opportunity.
Optional Refit Package Available
The original project management team behind August Maverick is available to oversee a full refit, from yard selection through launch. With extensive experience in commercial charter compliance, interior design, and systems upgrades, our team can deliver August Maverick in turnkey charter-ready condition — tailored to your mission.
This optional package includes full refit management, design assistance, yard coordination, and post-refit charter setup, and is available to qualified buyers under a separate agreement.
