The Taiwanese yard Cheoy Lee has dubbed its newest design “The Perfect Cruiser,” and after looking her over, it’s easy to see why. For comfort, she comes with three large staterooms, including a full-beam master, adorn the lower deck, and each has its own en suite head.

To propel her, the 59 has a single 330-hp John Deer 6081AFM diesel engine standard, but there’s also an option for a pair of 236-hp John Deere 6068SFM50s available, as well as a slew of other engine options. With the standard single-engine setup, the company states that the 59 should have a range of 2,000 at 9 knots on her 2,000 gallon tanks. It’s not the fastest way to get there, but it sure is efficient.

With a heritage like Choey Lee, who has been building boats for over 140 years, there’s a good chance that she’ll have all the sea-keeping capabilities we’ve come to expect from its full-displacement vessels. It may indeed be some folks perfect cruiser.
