TAKE FIVE is a handsome example of the 2006 Navigator Californian 34, a practical American coastal cruiser that combines traditional trawler-inspired styling, efficient operation, and comfortable accommodations in a size that is especially well suited to San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento - San Joaquin Delta.

The Californian name has deep roots in West Coast boating. Originally developed in the early 1970s by designer Jule Marshall and the Marshall Boat Company in Southern California, Californian yachts earned a reputation for rugged construction, seakindly hulls, sensible layouts, and boats designed around the way owners actually cruise. That heritage carries forward in TAKE FIVE, offering the kind of comfortable, capable platform that works equally well for a day on the Bay, a weekend in the Delta, or an extended cruise.

For San Francisco Bay, TAKE FIVE offers the protection, visibility, and substantial feel that owners appreciate when conditions become breezy and the afternoon chop builds. Her enclosed interior provides a welcome refuge from the Bay's cooler temperatures, while generous windows keep the surroundings visible and the salon bright. Her manageable 34-foot size also makes her far easier to handle, berth, and maintain than many larger cruising yachts while still providing the accommodations and amenities expected aboard a serious cruising boat.

The Sacramento Delta brings out another side of TAKE FIVE. At relaxed cruising speeds she is ideally suited to exploring the Delta's winding waterways, quiet anchorages, waterfront destinations, and warm summer evenings. Her comfortable living spaces make her an inviting weekend retreat, while her practical deck arrangement and cruising layout allow owners and guests to move easily between indoor and outdoor areas, accessing the comfortable cockpit area and Barbecue setting.

TAKE FIVE is the kind of yacht that can serve many roles well: Bay cruiser, Delta getaway, weekend condominium on the water, entertaining platform, or capable cruiser. For a buyer looking for traditional American styling, practical cruising comfort, and a boat sized perfectly for Northern California waters, TAKE FIVE deserves serious consideration.
