Built in 1989 by Novatec — the Taiwan yard known through the 1980s and 90s as Nova Marine Co., Ltd. — this Embassy 444 motor yacht pairs solid fiberglass construction with the kind of hand-finished teak joinery that era of Taiwanese yacht building was famous for. At 43'5" length overall with a generous 13'8" beam, she offers the volume and stability of a true aft-cabin cruiser without stepping up to a 50-footer's dockage and running costs.
Power comes from twin Caterpillar 3208 TA diesels, backed by Twin Disc MG-507 transmissions and an Onan 8 kW genset — a proven, well-supported combination that's kept this model family popular with long-range cruisers, including several Great Loop veterans among her sisterships. Cruise comfortably at 18 knots or push to a 24-knot top end.
Below, the layout departs from the more common galley-down, lower-helm Embassy 444 floorplan: this vessel's salon puts the galley and entertainment center at eye level with the seating, opening onto a bright, sociable space with no lower helm eating into the footprint — all vessel handling is done from the flybridge, which offers 360-degree visibility. Two staterooms sleep up to 8, with two full heads and showers, a furnace, and a full complement of galley appliances including fridge, freezer, microwave, and ice maker.
Recent investment shows throughout: a new Garmin plotter and refrigerator in 2025, a new stove in 2026, and a fresh UNO paint system applied in 2026. A full vessel survey was completed July 23, 2026, and is available on demand — a meaningful head start for any serious buyer.
Well-equipped for coastal and offshore cruising, she carries Raytheon radar, dual Icom VHF/DSC, a Robertson autopilot, dual hydraulic trim tabs, an electric windlass with a stainless Bruce-style anchor, and a fiberglass swim platform. This is a turnkey, liveaboard-capable motor yacht ready for her next owner to simply step aboard and go.
