MAHALO’s Sellers are Pacific Northwest residents and Hawaii has long been a magical and peaceful destination for them because it combines beauty, escape, release, and relaxation like no other place.
They have described their yacht as providing at home a way to escape and enjoy the sense of magical release while cruising.
When it came time to name their yacht, they reflected on how much each-other has to be grateful for and wanted to tie in an expression of their gratitude. Because of their connection to Hawaii, they decided on MAHALO which translates to “express gratitude” in the Hawaiian language.
While attending boat shows and especially the Trawlerfest events since the early 1990’s, they paid close attention to full displacement as well as semi-displacement hulls in the 45 – 70 foot range. This meant brands such as Nordhavn, Northern Marine, Fleming, Outer Reef, Selene, Kadey-Krogen, American Tug and Nordic Tug ‘populated their radar’.
Narrowing the field for decision, the focus turned to key elements such as choosing an LRC Motor Yacht with a semi-displacement hull which allowed for more speed when called for, a size model to cruise three to four months at a time while comfortably accommodating family / friends guests to join from time to time, ease of safe transitional access throughout the vessel without climbing ladders or crawling into cramped spaces, and built to be compliant with marine industry regulations by a shipyard that is known for delivering yachts on time and within budget.
It was while attending the 2017 Trawlerfest in Bremerton, Washington that the Sellers had their first encounter aboard the Hampton Endurance 658 LRC Motor Yacht and quickly discovered this yacht aligned with their checklist more than any other.
Soon after their vision of building a semi-custom yacht to enjoy cruising the waters of the Pacific Northwe
