Mason 33

MAKAI - 1985 MASON 33

Makai is a serious blue water cruiser with comfortable accommodations.  Designed by Al Mason and constructed at the renowned Ta Shing Yard (builder of Nordhavn, Taswell, and Tashiba), she’s a stout, hand-laid fiberglass cruiser built to +100 A-1 standards.  She has excellent factory non skid fiberglass decks, easy to maintain.
