1970 Trumpy Houseboat

Chesapeake, Virginia • $1,750,000

DESCRIPTION

ABSOLUTE, Contract #440, is a rare and exceptional 62’ Trumpy—one of the final eight ever built. Originally commissioned by Bayard Sharp of the DuPont family and launched as GALPO, this storied yacht has had a distinguished ownership history and has been lovingly maintained through the years. Now under the care of her sixth owner, ABSOLUTE has undergone a comprehensive refit that brings her impressively close to her original launch condition. With a brand-new bottom, updated machinery, and fully modernized systems throughout, she is in outstanding structural, mechanical, and cosmetic condition. This iconic Trumpy is turnkey and ready to cruise, awaiting only the next steward to continue her legacy. Easy to see in our tide-free, fresh water, covered showrooms at Atlantic Yacht Basin on the Intracoastal Waterway, just 12 miles south of Norfolk, VA.
