Description
1972 Pacifica 48’ Motor Yacht – “Balena Blu”Asking: $15,250 (Donation Vessel to Scouting America)
There comes a point where life invites you to slow down, stretch out, and enjoy the moment—and “Baby Beluga” is ready to offer exactly that.
Originally commissioned as a 44’ Pacifica, this vessel was extended with a professionally added 4’ cockpit, transforming her into a uniquely spacious 48’ platform. The result? A truly wide-open layout that’s rare for her class—perfect for fishing, entertaining, or simply relaxing on the water.
This boat is best described in one phrase: space, space, and more space. From the expansive salon to the generous foredeck and cockpit, even down to the stand-up engine room, every area feels open and accessible. No tight squeezes, no gymnastics—just practical usability throughout.
While she is a running vessel, “Baby Beluga” may be ideally suited as a budget-friendly waterfront condo, offering comfort, privacy, and livability without the high cost of modern yachts.
