Compromise is a 1989 Tollycraft 44, Cockpit Motor Yacht (CPMY) an excellent boat for the Great Loop, Bahamas, ocean cruising or liveaboard. The 3.5’ draft is well suited for tight shallow anchorages and the intracoastal waterway. The 19’ height (as is, could be lowered 16.5’ foot maximum height of hardtop) makes it perfect for the low bridges of the Great Loop. The Tollycraft 44Hull is noted for its sea keeping ability.

The dual hard tops, sundeck canvas sides and aft deck wing entrances makes Compromise perfect for young children and pets to be shaded and secure. The enclosed sundeck and flybridge are enclosed with canvas and clear vinal panels with zippered openings for ventilation. With the panels closed the aft deck and bridge area are heated by the sun extending the boating season. The cockpit is large enough for easy line handling. This cockpit area is also great for fishing and makes an excellent swimming or diving platform.

Equal accommodation (2 staterooms and 2 baths) offers 2 couples’ maximum privacy. Sleeps 8 in all including convertible dinette and pullout sofa. Big salon windows offer a bright and airy living space. The two-stateroom, galley-down design also includes a deck access door in the salon and plenty of storage.

Boat handling is made easy with dual engines, secure walkaround decks with railings and handrails. The Tollycraft 44 CPMY has always been considered a well-handling boat with better-than-average ride and performance.

Owned by a professional Capitan and dive master Compromise has made several tips from the Chesapeake Bay to Florida and the Bahamas she is ready for her next adventure and available to see in Deltaville, Virginia.

History of a Classic

Tollycraft Yachts founder R.M. "Tolly" Tollefson built one of the most popular lines of boats in the Pacific Northwest.. Each of his boats was created for real-life boaters who went out in real world conditions. The boats were practical, tough and sea kindly.

Of all the boats Tollycraft produced, Tollefson once called the 44 Cockpit Motor Yacht his personal favorite. The boat, designed to Tollefson's specifications by renowned naval architect Ed Monk Jr., is still highly regarded as one of the most stylish Tollycrafts ever built and it is one of the most cruise able. 

Tollefson often said that every boat his company built was a vessel he had created for himself. For that reason, Tollycraft yachts are built to handle even the sloppiest offshore conditions. 

Tollefson did not take kindly to the concept of using a boat as a condo or a dockside party barge. Tollefson lived to go boating. Monk and his father before him took Tolly's original concept designs and engineered them into some of the most beloved cruising yachts. 

Tollycraft's 44 Cockpit Motor Yacht is built on the Quadra Lift. Revered for its handling, performance and fuel efficiency, this hull makes for a dry ride and dampens roll. Unlike a typical hard-chined hull, the Quadra Lift hull has a pair of chines with a compound curve in between. The top chine, above the waterline, deflects spray and bow wave for a dry ride. The two chines together keep the hull from plunging too deep in heavy seas, dampen roll action and strengthen the hull sides. 

The boat is not only extraordinarily seakindly, it is fuel-efficient for its size. 370hp Detroit Diesels also provide economical cruising performance. 

Serious cruisers appreciate the fact that not only is the 44 an economical and practical boat with a long foredeck with a bow pulpit and rail-protected walk-around side decks. It is also an especially comfortable boat. 

Standout features on the 44 include an aft sundeck with more than 130 square feet of space. Many buyers opted to cover it with an optional hardtop and surround it with a clear vinyl/canvas enclosure, to create the equivalent of a second saloon. 

Abaft the sundeck and down one level, the 44's cockpit offers room for one angler and a convenient place to board from the swim step. 

The 44's flybridge offers a full 360-degree view of the water, plus an L-shaped settee where guests can relax with the skipper. A lower helm station was also available as an option, for all-weather operation from inside the saloon. Big forward windows and equally large side windows added practicality and made for a light and airy interior. 

The 44's spacious saloon was available with either a straight or L-shaped settee and both converted to berths. A forward counter/breakfast bar separated the saloon from the galley, located a few steps down to port. 

Steps leading from the saloon to the U-shaped galley also served as access to the engine room. A dinette with seating for four was positioned to starboard. 

Forward, the 44's guest stateroom offered a V-berth with an insert to convert it to a double. It adjoined a head with a shower. 

The master stateroom, located aft (beneath the sundeck), offered a walk-around queen-size berth, two hanging lockers, large side windows and aft portlights. It included a private head with its own stall shower. 

As one of the last of the original Tollycrafts, the 44 was a very popular model. This modern classic has held its value very well, indeed. On today's brokerage boat market, a well-maintained 44 Cockpit Motor Yacht typically sells in short order due to the overall quality and design.
