With significant influence by the *Ted Geary design group, this fantail luxury yacht was designed for the author Stewart Edward White by the Lee and Brinton Naval Architect firm of San Francisco and Seattle.

Built in 1930 by the Lake Washington Ship Yard in Houghton, WA and equipped for long range extended cruising with a party of eight aboard, the main deckhouse features separate cabin spaces for the wheelhouse, dining salon, galley, and a cozy main salon with wood burning fireplace. Covered port and starboard promenade decks and an aft deck lounge at the fantail provide excellent walk-about space and the ideal settings for alfresco dining and evening cocktails. Below decks a full beam master stateroom aft and three guest cabins forward provide comfortable voyaging accommodations for eight. A full beam engine room amidships with built-in cabinets, a work bench and elbow space for onboard projects houses a huge and highly dependable 380 HP Caterpillar D-353 TA 6-cylinder 4-cycle diesel engine, and several Gensets. The upper deck presents a complete helm station with a large observation / sunning settee with a Bimini top forward of an extended boat deck area with an electric davit, tender, and ample deck storage space.

A rare embodiment of yachtings original allure, this classic fantail design illustrates the dramatic contrast between the look and feel of yachts from an era when American craftsman fashioned select timbers into yachts of custom designs that were built to serve a family from one generation to the next, and the contemporary yacht typified by a generic appearance, plastic composition, and builders of foreign origin.

Yachts of the Creole's pedigree are an admirable rarity.  Over the decades Creole has been proven by numerous voyages from the U.S. to Hawaii, the South Pacific, the Caribbean and a number of Atlantic crossings, and over the past year she has received significant upgrades.  We are pleased to present you an opportunity to enjoy the bygone era of stately yachting, and to become the next owner of this classic voyager.

The yacht is ready to cruise on short notice, and a licensed Captain familiar with the Creole is available.
