Portsmouth 30 Downeast Flybridge, JESSICA L

Broker’s Comments

This striking 30-foot ‘DownEast’ style cruiser is built on the renowned Royal Lowell-designed Sisu 30 hull and became widely known as the Portsmouth 30 when one of Sisu Boat Company’s principals launched a new venture. The Portsmouth 30 is the perfect hardtop cruiser for two, blending performance and comfort effortlessly. Her accommodations feature a spacious salon with a lift-up double helm seat, a portside settee that converts to a comfortable double berth, a bulkhead-mounted dining table, and room for an additional single chair aft of the helm. The cockpit is generously sized, offering ample space for relaxation and entertaining.

Below deck, the galley is well-equipped for weekend getaways, with abundant storage for provisions. The head is larger than typical for a 30-foot vessel, adding to the cruiser’s comfort and practicality. The V-berths are long and inviting, perfect for restful nights on the water. The interior, finished in rich varnished teak, sets this boat apart from other more utilitarian ‘DownEast’ designs, adding a touch of elegance and craftsmanship that elevates the entire experience.
