Manufacturer's Descriptions
Introduced in the 2000 model year, the 396 Motor Yacht was an overnight success. This aft cabin motor yacht has the aggressive styling of an express cruiser. As well, the 396 has changed the rules concerning aft cabin styling. The unique raised walk deck design has allowed design changes that give the 396 a wider cabin - much roomier than one would expect. Adding to its appeal, the cabin living space has been combined into a spacious, open "great room" with plenty of salon seating and space for all sorts of extra amenities, like an end table, TV and VCR. Two luxurious staterooms and two head compartments provide welcome privacy, with the forward head compartment providing separate head and shower compartments.

I joined the Brewer Yacht Sales team in the spring of 2019 working out of our Deep River office.
From an early age spending summers at Nauset Beach on Cape Cod, I realized that the ocean is where I was meant to be. That profound love for the water led me to a twenty-one year career in the United States Coast Guard, retiring as a Chief Petty officer in the fall of 2017.
My family and I have been living in Old Saybrook CT since 2015. Our house is very active with 2 young boys and a loving dog named Stumpy.
I welcome the opportunity to pilot mariners and help those new to boating navigate your boat purchase and selling journey.
