Broker Overview
The 2012 McKinna 69 Skylounge, "Condors Nest," presents a compelling opportunity for a buyer seeking a versatile yacht capable of both comfortable cruising and serious sport fishing. This vessel stands out with its robust fiberglass construction and a proven twin CAT C-18 power package, delivering reliable performance for offshore passages. The Skylounge configuration offers an elevated helm with excellent visibility and additional climate-controlled living space, a significant advantage for extended trips or inclement weather. What sets this particular McKinna apart is its thoughtful outfitting for fishing, including a functional cockpit with rod holders, a discreet davit for tender deployment, and updated Simrad electronics, making it genuinely dual-purpose. The inclusion of two Onan generators, a watermaker, and a washer/dryer underscores its self-sufficiency for longer voyages. While it lacks bow and stern thrusters, the three control stations with sync aid maneuverability. This is a well-maintained, two-owner vessel that represents a strong value proposition in the market for a yacht of this size and capability, especially considering its LLC ownership. We advise a thorough inspection to appreciate its condition and features.

Sea-keeping is generally good, with the standard stabilizers enhancing comfort underway. The Skylounge design provides a comfortable, protected helm and additional living space, which is a significant plus for cruising in various conditions. Value for money on this particular vessel is strong, especially given its dual-purpose configuration and the comprehensive list of upgrades like the watermaker and dual generators.
