About the Little Harbor 62

Built by the renowned Little Harbor Custom Yachts, this 62-foot sailing vessel represents the yard's commitment to creating sophisticated bluewater cruising boats for discerning sailors. Little Harbor has long been associated with high-quality construction and traditional yacht design principles, making their boats highly sought after in the cruising community. This particular model embodies the classic Little Harbor philosophy of combining seaworthiness with comfort for extended offshore passages. The design likely features the yard's characteristic full keel configuration and moderate beam, prioritizing stability and directional control over pure speed. Little Harbor boats are traditionally built for sailors who value solid construction and proven ocean-going capabilities above racing performance. The 62-footer would appeal to experienced cruisers planning serious offshore adventures, whether circumnavigation or extended passages to remote destinations. Little Harbor's reputation for robust engineering and attention to detail makes their boats particularly suitable for couples or small crews who demand reliability in challenging conditions. While specific technical details remain limited, Little Harbor's consistent design approach suggests this vessel offers the kind of dependable performance and comfortable accommodations that have made the builder a respected name among serious cruising sailors worldwide.
