2020 American Tug 435

Odyssey is for sale by her second owner who purchased her through Tomco, the American Tug builder in La Conner, WA. After purchase, she remained in town and the factory oversaw the installation of CMC Waveless active fin stabilizers and then, after some cruising in the Pacific Northwest, the yard coordinated on-deck cargo shipping from Vancouver, Canada to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

As the 14th hull number in the series, Odyssey benefits from the product improvements of the sister ships that preceded her. The original owners ordered most of the popular factory options (including the flybridge) with plans for great adventures, but had life circumstances making them unable to travel. This opened up a rare opportunity for the current owner to purchase a like-new boat (under 100 hours on main and generator) that was outfitted and ready to go.

Odyssey is an outstanding American Tug 435 featuring a two stateroom, two head layout with flybridge. Some of the unique upgrades include a top berth in the guest stateroom and a door access from the hallway landing for the guest head. The seller purchased Odyssey as his last boat to do the Great Loop, which he has now completed. Odyssey is offered as a very well-established American Tug 435, ready for her next owners to create their own adventures.
