2009 Pacific Mariner 65 Motoryacht: A Westport-Built Pilothouse Cruiser with Three Staterooms and Twin MTU Power
Overview
The 2009 Pacific Mariner 65 Motoryacht represents a mature expression of West Coast pilothouse design, built by Westport Shipyard to combine proven seakeeping, comfortable long-range cruising capability, and the operational flexibility valued by owner-operators. At 65 feet with a 17.33-foot beam and 5-foot draft, this yacht sits comfortably in the sweet spot for extended coastal and island cruising—large enough to provide genuine three-stateroom accommodations with crew quarters, yet manageable for experienced captains and professional crew. The design by William Garden delivers a sharp pilothouse profile, full walk-around side decks, and a wide flybridge platform, all supported by twin DDC/MTU Series 60 engines rated at 825 horsepower each. With cruising speeds around 18 knots and a maximum speed of 22 knots, the 65 Pacific Mariner balances fuel efficiency with purposeful transit capability, while her 550-gallon fuel capacity and 285-gallon freshwater tanks support multi-week passages without frequent resupply. This particular vessel has benefited from systematic modernization and maintenance, including new air conditioning chillers, updated galley appliances (dishwasher and trash compactor in 2025), refreshed headliners and wall coverings throughout, new windlass intake fans, and a newly rebuilt davit. The twin Northern Lights generators (20 kW and 16 kW) provide independent power generation for extended anchoring, while the Naiad digital stabilizer system with 4.5 square-foot fins significantly reduces roll and enhances comfort in a seaway. For buyers seeking a proven pilothouse motor yacht with substantial interior volume, serious sea-keeping credentials, and a layout that accommodates both family cruising and professional crew operations, the Pacific Mariner 65 delivers genuine capability without requiring compromise on daily livability.
Layout and Deck Design
The Pacific Mariner 65 organizes her interior around a vertical arrangement that maximizes headroom and natural light while maintaining structural efficiency. The pilothouse sits forward on the main deck, accessed directly from the galley and salon, with a lower helm station featuring the primary navigation console and a comfortable settee for guest viewing. This arrangement allows the captain to operate the vessel while remaining connected to the social spaces aft, a hallmark of pilothouse design. The galley and main salon occupy the same level immediately aft of the pilothouse, creating an open, light-filled entertaining space with a custom hi-lo table that transitions from cocktail to dining height, a 42-inch Samsung Smart TV with surround sound, and a wet bar complete with wine cooler and ice maker. Large windows and an overhead hatch flood the area with natural light, while the Stainless steel sliding door to the aft deck extends the living space outward. Below the main deck, three staterooms and three private heads provide accommodation for family and guests. The master stateroom occupies the full beam amidships with a king-size centerline berth, two cedar-lined hanging lockers, a desk with bookshelves and storage, and an ensuite head featuring a marble countertop, 5-foot bathtub with shower, and Headhunter freshwater jet-style toilet. The VIP stateroom forward features a queen berth with reading lights and drawers, cedar-lined hanging locker, and an ensuite head with sunken shower and safety glass door. The guest stateroom provides twin berths (convertible to a single) with a 32-inch LED television, and its ensuite head doubles as a day head accessible from the foyer. All staterooms feature cedar-lined hanging lockers, stainless port lights with screens, and individual air conditioning outlets, while marble countertops and Headhunter fixtures establish a consistent standard of finish throughout. The aft deck, accessed from the salon via a stainless steel sliding door with retractable screen, features a 5-foot teak-overlay fiberglass deck with a teak pedestal table, recessed lighting, and substantial stainless steel cleats positioned for secure docking. Two Cablemaster retractable 50-amp shore cords (75 feet on the port side, 65 feet starboard) and a dockside water connector with pressure regulator simplify shore-based operations. A 5-foot swim platform with integrated stainless steel swim ladder, hot and cold shower with pullout sprayer, and a large storage locker containing spare propellers provide functional access to the water. The full walk-around side decks, lined with 12-inch-wide non-skid fiberglass decking and continuous stainless steel handrails with cabin side grab rails, create a safe passage between bow and stern even in moderate seas. The foredeck features fiberglass non-skid decking, stainless steel bow rail, and 12-inch bow cleats with chafe guards. A Lewmar 3000-pound capstan windlass with chain wildcat, powered by 24-volt hydraulics and controlled by foot switches, handles the 300 feet of 3/8-inch high-test chain. A Lewmar 110-pound claw anchor mounted on stainless steel hardware, combined with fresh and sea water washdowns and a sun pad with grab rails, complete the foredeck arrangement. The crew quarters, accessed from the aft deck via a 6-step stairway, provide upper and lower berths to starboard (currently used for additional storage), a countertop with sink, small refrigerator, stacked Bosch washer and dryer (the dryer newly replaced in 2025), and a crew head with macerator pump and 20-gallon holding tank. A commercial watertight door with dog-down latches separates crew quarters from the engine room, emphasizing the vessel's capability for professional crew operations.
Helm and Electronics
The Pacific Mariner 65 provides four independent docking stations—pilothouse, flybridge, starboard main deck at the pilothouse level, and aft deck—allowing the captain to operate the vessel from multiple vantage points depending on sea state, docking conditions, and crew preference. The pilothouse lower helm, the primary command center, features a 30-inch destroyer-style wheel with teak rim and hydraulic power assist, MTU single-lever clutch and throttles with electronic synchronizer and high/low idle capability, and a comprehensive array of engine gauges, start/stop switches, and system monitors. A Stidd adjustable helm seat with footrest and companion seat provides ergonomic comfort during extended passages, while a raised "L" shaped settee aft offers guest seating with clear sightlines to the forward windshield. The pilothouse features a 6-foot-8-inch headroom, three forward windows with a ½-inch-thick windshield, variable-speed wipers with washers, and port and starboard sliding doors with retractable screens. Overhead LED lights, new 2024 custom wool carpet, and a chart flat with chart light and drawers below complete the functional interior. The navigation and ship management systems reflect a mature integration of commercial-grade electronics. The pilothouse helm displays include a Garmin GPSMAP 7612 chartplotter, Furuno NavNet radar, and two NEC MultiSync LCD displays providing redundant chart and radar visualization. A Furuno GP-37 DGPS receiver, Simrad AP25 autopilot, Garmin AIS 300, Icom IC-M604 VHF radio, and Starlink SO7-721048 high-performance panel ensure reliable communication, positioning, and navigation capability for extended coastal and offshore cruising. Engine monitoring is handled by MTU engine monitors, while a 5-inch Ritchie PowerDamp compass provides magnetic reference. Ship systems are monitored through a dedicated ships system monitor controlling navigation lights and bilge pumps, while a Kahlenberg dual trumpet air horn system with air compressor provides audible signaling. A TankWatch holding tank monitor displays empty, low, medium, and full levels, and a Fireboy FE241 built-in fire suppression system (recertified August 2025) protects the engine room and machinery spaces. A Naiad digital stabilizer control with roll rate adjustment and 25-horsepower hydraulic bow thruster control are positioned at the helm for intuitive vessel handling. The flybridge helm station, accessed from the galley, pilothouse, and aft deck ladder, operates independently from the pilothouse and provides an elevated vantage point for docking, anchoring, and fair-weather cruising.

The 550-gallon fuel capacity supports extended range, while the proven William Garden hull design and Westport construction quality provide seaworthiness and reliability. The vessel's reputation as one of the most sought-after pilothouse motor yachts in her class reflects her proven combination of performance, comfort, and ease of operation for owners seeking serious cruising capability without the operational demands of larger displacement yachts.
