NECESSITY is a well maintained and cared for 2005 Albin 44 Command Bridge. She has everything you would want in a luxury cruiser for the Chesapeake Bay or for traveling up and down the East Coast. Powered by twin Yanmar engines, Necessity will take you everywhere you want to go with confidence. Whether spending the summer in coastal Maine or the winter in Fort Lauderdale, the roomy design and the smart interior will have you comfortable and relaxed. There is so much to love about this Albin 44 Command Bridge most people overlook the 6'8" headroom throughout and storage everywhere including cedar lined hanging lockers. This boat has everything needed for the serious fisherman or coastal cruiser. Well-appointed interior includes a huge master cabin with island queen, two heads with innovative center shower, second stateroom with twin beds that could be an office, warm, comfortable salon with flat screen TV, galley with full size fridge and all appliances and a huge cockpit with custom hard-top and full wet-bar including grill and ice maker. This boat has electronic controls, helm chairs, dual SIMRAD displays complete with a full SIMRAD electronics suite including auto pilot, Onan generator, and two zone heat and A/C.
The flybridge on Necessity gives you the best of both worlds. You have the sight lines of a flybridge boat, yet only steps from the cockpit keeping you with your guests and expanding the entertainment space. The well-designed helm area keeps you riding in comfort seated securely and comfortably in the 2 helm chairs. Your guests will also enjoy the wrap around seating, great views, and beverages within arm’s reach with a small convenience refrigerator incorporated into the helm/dash area on the port side. Walking forward to handle lines, adjust fenders, or deploy the dinghy is made easy with generous side decks. The much larger than expected aft cockpit boasts a fully equipped wet-bar with sink, electric grill and icemaker.
