Factory Comments

Statement by American Tug about the 485


The pinnacle of the American Tug fleet, the AT 485 was designed for the yachtsperson looking to explore beyond the horizon but who refuses to leave the comforts of home behind. The seakeeping ability of its hard chine, full-length keel hull will keep you calm even in the roughest of conditions. With a range of 1500 nautical miles, the 485 is ready to take on your next adventure.


 Sharing the same stateroom layout as the 435, the primary stateroom features a beam-to-beam layout with generous storage and an ensuite head. The guest stateroom has a Pullman queen (with an optional bunk above) and an additional ensuite head. The pilothouse offers excellent sight lines, generous spaces, helm chair and passenger seating with access doors to port and starboard.


 As compared to the 435, the 485 provides five extra feet of length in the salon devoted to galley and dining space, as well as a dedicated entertainment area. The large U-shaped galley features both more storage space and more elbow room than our other models. Opposite the galley, a large dinette provides comfortable dining space for four adults. 


 On any extended adventure, the 485 offers all the comforts of home for relaxed, sociable living. Its salon has room for two lounge chairs and ottomans opposite a large L-shaped settee that also converts to a double berth.


 Standard equipment on the 485 has been designed with the comfort and safety of a cruising couple in mind. This equipment includes variable speed bow and stern thrusters, an upper deck crane with hydraulic lift and rotation and an upper deck walk-through from the pilothouse in lieu of a vertical ladder. 


Handcrafted in the USA.
