Cruise-a-Home

Cruise-a-Home

Cruise-A-Home is a houseboat-like motorboat that was manufactured in Everett, Washington between 1968 and 1980. But it is fully a cabin cruiser with a heavy deep-vee fiberglass hull. It has a single level cabin with relatively flat forward and aft decks and an exceptionally large upper deck. The most popular model was the 40-foot “Corsair” with 28-foot cabin and a walk-around main deck. A 31-foot model called the “Crusader” had a shorter, but full width cabin, sacrificing the walk-around main deck. However, with a single level cabin there was ready access to the forward and aft decks for docking. Later in production, a second version of the 31-footer was offered called the “Caprice”. It featured the narrower cabin like the 40-footer with the walk-around main deck.

Approximately 500 Cruise-A-Home's were built.
