2005 Alden

Flybridge Express

49' / 14.94m

LINDA MARIE is the 9th hull of the well-respected Alden 46/49 Saloon Express built. She was commissioned by a Massachusetts Gentleman who had owned multiple Alden’s previously who desired a very high-quality yacht that would be unique in a marketplace of common brands and mainstream looks. The result is an impeccably crafted, capable, and fast vessel well suited to both cocktails and extended cruising alike. Those inspecting her will find LINDA MARIE in excellent condition with up-to-date electronics and well-maintained engineering systems. She is truly ready to go.
