2006 BSY 57 EAU TOO Steel Blue Water Cruiser

Complete Circumnavigation Vessel Refit Completed Long-Range Ocean-Capable Steel Yacht

There are many boats marketed as blue water capable.

Very few have actually proven it.

EAU TOO is not a theoretical passagemaker built around marketing language or dockside ambition. This vessel has completed a full circumnavigation of the globe and returned home successfully crossing oceans, operating offshore for extended durations, and doing exactly what long-range cruising yachts are supposed to do. 

That distinction matters.

A large percentage of expedition and offshore yachts spend their entire lives within sight of land. EAU TOO has already completed the voyage most owners only dream about, then underwent a substantial post-circumnavigation refit and overhaul preparing her to do it again.

This is a genuine steel long-range cruiser built for offshore autonomy, self-sufficiency, and serious passagemaking.

At approximately 58 feet overall with nearly 50 tons of displacement, she was designed around stability, storage, fuel efficiency, and ocean durability rather than marina aesthetics or high-speed performance. Powered by a low-hour Perkins M135 diesel with only approximately 450 hours, she offers exceptional operating economy, simple mechanical reliability, and true long-range cruising capability. 

This is the type of vessel serious offshore buyers search years to find.

A TRUE OFFSHORE STEEL CRUISER

EAU TOO was purpose-built for one mission: safe, long-range offshore cruising.

This is not a lightweight production yacht trying to imitate expedition capability. The vessel s steel construction, displacement profile, fuel capacity, storage volume, and system redundancy were designed specifically around offshore reliability and ocean endurance.

Key Offshore Characteristics Include:

Proven full circumnavigation history
Steel hull construction
Long-range fuel autonomy
Heavy-displacement stability
Offshore storage capacity
Ocean-capable cruising speeds
Efficient single-engine operation
Extensive post-circumnavigation refit
Systems updated and serviced
Immediate departure capability

The result is a vessel capable of serious offshore travel without requiring constant marina dependence or excessive operating cost.

REFIT & OVERHAUL

Following completion of her circumnavigation, EAU TOO underwent a significant technical and cosmetic overhaul preparing her for continued offshore use. 

Recent Work Includes:

Complete technical overhaul
Cosmetic refit work throughout
New antifouling systems
New bimini installed
Seacocks inspected and replaced where required
All major systems serviced and verified
Vessel prepared for immediate offshore use

Unlike many blue water boats that require substantial deferred maintenance after long passages, seller states EAU TOO has already gone through the expensive and time-consuming refit phase.

This matters enormously for buyers actually intending to cruise.

PROPULSION & PERFORMANCE

Engine:
Perkins M135 diesel

Horsepower:
135 HP

Engine Hours:
Approximately 450 hours

Cruising Speed:
Approximately 7 knots

Maximum Speed:
Approximately 11 knots

Range:
Approximately 2,700 nautical miles

This is a highly efficient long-range cruising setup focused on simplicity, reliability, and fuel economy rather than unnecessary horsepower or excessive system complexity.

For experienced passagemakers, that is often exactly what you want.

INTERIOR & LIVEABOARD COMFORT

The interior was clearly designed around extended offshore living rather than occasional weekend use.

Accommodations Include:

4 private cabins
4 bathrooms / heads
Large interior volume
Extensive storage throughout
Long-term liveaboard capability
Climate-controlled interior spaces

Interior Comfort Systems:

Air conditioning throughout vessel
Heating throughout vessel
Watermaker system
(2) refrigerators
Deep freezer
Oven
Microwave
Ice maker
Washing machine
Dryer
(2) televisions with satellite and antenna systems

The vessel offers the type of comfort and infrastructure necessary for true extended cruising, liveaboard life, or even long-term international travel.

GALLEY & SYSTEMS

The galley and onboard systems were configured around offshore practicality and self-sufficiency.

Features Include:

Full oven
Microwave
Refrigeration systems
Deep freezer storage
Ice maker
Extensive provisioning capability
Large freshwater storage
Watermaker system for extended autonomy

This is a vessel intended to operate independently for extended durations away from marina infrastructure.

DECK & EXTERIOR

Exterior Features Include:

Teak cockpit
New bimini
Cockpit cover
Sunbathing cushions
Cockpit cushions
Underwater lighting
Tender launch system
Tender with engine
Bow thruster

The deck arrangement prioritizes offshore movement, safety, and functional cruising utility while still maintaining comfortable outdoor living space.

WHY THIS BOAT STANDS OUT

Many offshore yachts are marketed around possibility.

EAU TOO is marketed around proof.

Full circumnavigation completed.
Refit completed afterward.
Low-hour propulsion package.
Steel offshore construction.
Long-range tankage.
Four-cabin liveaboard layout.
Turn-key offshore readiness.

This vessel represents an opportunity to acquire a legitimate ocean-proven steel cruiser at a price point dramatically below replacement cost.

Building a comparable steel expedition yacht today with this displacement, range, refit status, and cruising capability would require substantially more capital and years of build time.

Ideal for:

Full-time liveaboard cruising
