Description

Rare 1930 American Car & Foundry (ACF) 47-foot custom cabin cruiser representing a significant example of American maritime history. Built during the era when yachts of this caliber were only available to the extremely wealthy, LIBERTE features solid mahogany construction throughout with matched wood paneling and a C-Flex fiberglass bottom for durability.

The vessel offers exceptional accommodations including an aft master stateroom with double berth and built-in bureaus, a main saloon/helm with convertible sleeping space and hidden Pullman berths on both sides, and a spacious galley. The helm station provides excellent visibility through large opening windows and includes a new Lewmar windlass with remote controls. A hinged mast allows passage under low bridges for Great Loop capability.

Current owner has invested extensive resources in restoration and maintenance over 30 years of custodianship, including applying C-Flex to the mahogany hull for solid fiberglass protection. LIBERTE is an award-winning classic boat show circuit participant and remains one of the last known surviving ACF 47-foot cruisers. Currently housed in a boathouse in Madisonville, Louisiana, she is ready for inspection and represents an exceptional opportunity for a discerning collector or maritime history enthusiast.
