Notable Features

* Custom enclosed pilothouse added in 2020, offering excellent 360-degree visibility.

* Stealth & Silence: True to the name "WhisperJet," the engine rooms were heavily insulated and the exhaust systems designed to be exceptionally quiet.

* Accommodations: Featuring a two cabin layout with a spacious master suite with ensuite head. Guest cabin is aft to Port. This is a galley-down configuration, with a large dinette. High-end teak/cherry joiner work.

* Rarity: Very few WhisperJet 55s were ever produced, making them highly sought after on the brokerage market - often seen as "modern classics. Because they were built with premium materials, they hold up well! Replacement value on a vessel like this would certainly be in the 2 to 3 Million dollar range, depending on the country of manufacture. This Little Harbor is an American built vessel.
