Blue Note was originally designed by pair of engineers (Father & Son) whom spared no expense or attention to detail to ensure she can go anywhere. They completed the American Great Loop in 2018, logging almost 6000 miles and then decided to build a larger Krogen. Blue Note's current owners bought her a little over a year ago but have now also decided to have us build them a larger Krogen. With her bow and stern thrusters, twin screws, plus this boat is controllable from multiple locations it makes docking, locking, anchoring incredibly easy.
Wanting to travel in comfort the owners of this vessel opt'd for two gensets and 5 air conditioning systems. The bigger genset can handle all 5 AC systems running while leisurely traveling long anywhere on a hot summer day. For night time comfort running the smaller genset will help fuel economy while keeping up to 3 AC systems running. Both staterooms have big flat screen TV's and the main Salon features a retractable 42" Flat screen with integrated Sonos Soundbar for surround sound movie entertainment or soft soothing music while you dine in the main salon or alfresco on the aft deck. Living in this always connected world Blue Note includes a whole boat WiFi System with a Range Extender enabling it to stay connected miles away from a WiFi hotspot. The Flybridge has the very popular hard top option that makes piloting the boat or entertaining so much fun with the intense sun/heat typically found in tropical climates.
Maintenance is a breeze in this walk about engine room. With both engines and gensets interconnected to a Reverso Oil Management system, changing the oil is as simple as opening a valve and pumping the old oil out and new oil in. Air filters and oil filters are easily reached for replacement AND the engine room features a custom workbench making for a great place to open/rebuild any other component that needs to be worked on. Fuel management is a breeze with BiG sight gauges on each fuel tank and a fuel transfer/polishing system to keep your fuel clean and ready to use. A custom designed autofill system makes taking on freshwater into Blue Notes's tanks as simple as pushing a button which starts the fill process and then automatically stops once the tanks are full. No longer do you have to fuss with freshwater fill plates, sticking a hose, in and waiting for the tank to fill up.
