BERNADETTE Yacht for Sale

BERNADETTE, Contract #380, is the last of the coveted Trumpy fantail houseboats built.  Commissioned and designed by John Trumpy himself as his personal yacht, she was originally named AURORA.  Later names, in correct order, include: MARCOO, PRIMA DONNA, DARIL-X, SYLVIA, AURORA, LITCHFIELD LADY and finally BERNADETTE.  Her present owner has continued the first-rate custodianship of this very fortunate yacht performing a complete multi-million dollar rebuild in 2009 and maintaining her to exacting standards since.  Those inspecting her will find her in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition with updated systems, basically wanting for nothing but a new owner’s personal touches.
