Outer Reef Yachts 26/31

Vessel Description

LITTLE TOOT is a distinctive 1979 Outer Reef designed by noted naval architect Andre Bilodeau and built in St. James, Florida. Originally constructed as a 26-foot vessel, she was professionally extended to 31 feet, a modification that dramatically enhances her usability and gives her an exceptionally large and impressive aft deck rarely found on boats of this class.

Powered by a dependable Isuzu 3-cylinder 40hp diesel, LITTLE TOOT offers efficient, steady performance ideal for trawler-style cruising, coastal exploration, or comfortable extended stays aboard. A Vetus bow thruster provides excellent maneuverability in tight quarters, making docking and handling easier for short-handed cruising.

The pilothouse is well laid out and filled with natural light, thanks to sliding doors on both port and starboard sides. Inside, the space blends classic nautical charm with modern comfort, featuring tall folding captain’s chairs, a convertible dinette berth, air conditioning, and tasteful traditional accents including a bronze lamp and wall-mounted barometer, clock, and thermometer. The thoughtfully equipped interior makes LITTLE TOOT equally suited for day cruising or overnight adventures.

On deck, the extended aft area becomes the heart of the boat—perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or fishing—protected by an aft Bimini with full enclosure. With her unique history, solid construction, and extensive equipment list, LITTLE TOOT is a rare opportunity to own a classic Outer Reef with added space and personality.
