New Construction, Semi-Custom, Built To Order

Use different engines. Design your own interior layout!

The Ruby Passagemaker 52 is a Bruce Roberts designed steel full displacement, ballasted vessel capable of traveling the world in safety and comfort.  It is available with regular side decks, a single side deck (moving the widened salon to the port side), or as a wide body version allowing the salon to use the full beam of the boat.  The raised pilothouse and Portuguese bridge are both stylish and functional.  An optional fly bridge adds a whole different perspective for the Captain and guests to cruising and sightseeing.

Space has been designed into this vessel to provide accommodations for two couples plus all the facilities expected by today’s cruising yachts-man.  The engine room has standing headroom and more than sufficient space to hold all the machinery necessities one needs to feel at home on the water.  Single screw or twin, wet or dry exhaust, it will all fit in there with room to spare.

The suggested lower deck arrangement of the Ruby Passagemaker 52 features a full width master stateroom forward with an ensuite head.  The port and starboard guest staterooms have upper and lower berths along with ample storage space.  Alternatively, one of the guest staterooms can be exchanged for an office/laundry room.

The hullform incorporates the latest thinking from Bruce Roberts Design when it comes to passagemaking trawler yachts, including:  a single chined hull to reduce rolling, a higher prismatic coefficient to allow increased speeds when required, bilge fins which can be combined with active fins to dramatically reduce rolling and an optional bulbous bow to further reduce pitching.  Combine these new features with the tried and true integrated spray flat in her hull, to knock down spray and to lift the bow in head seas or while running down a swell, and a full keel and balanced rudder assembly; you now have the latest and best in underbody Passagemaker design.

To assure quality, your Ruby Passagemaker 52 will be certified by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) in accordance with American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) standards, as well as other certifications as required.  Additional Certifications are available as options in order to accommodate the requirements of various locales.
