Description

1930 Dawn Classic Motor Yacht “Sunrise New York” – For Sale in Vancouver. 

Own a piece of maritime history with Sunrise New York, a rare 1930 Dawn Boat Corporation motor yacht. This beautifully preserved classic yacht has been in the Pacific Northwest since 1946 and maintained in a Vancouver boathouse since 1994. She has been lovingly preserved and properly maintained by just two passionate owners—one since 1996. 

While Sunrise New York has received modern upgrades to essential onboard systems, her original layout and interior décor remain intact, making her a standout among vintage yachts for sale. The vessel offers sleeping accommodations for six across three staterooms, two heads, and a proper U-shaped stainless-steel galley. The spacious salon and lower helm provide excellent visibility and comfort, while the flybridge and covered aft deck invite outdoor enjoyment during sunny cruises. The aft stateroom even features a cozy fireplace, ensuring comfort and privacy for guests. 

Powered by twin Ford Lehman 120 HP diesel engines, this classic cruiser delivers reliable and efficient performance. 

A proven showpiece, Sunrise New York has earned several awards at Classic Boat Festivals and is ready to be appreciated by another proud owner. Whether you’re a classic yacht collector, a lover of maritime heritage, or searching for a unique floating home, this historic motor yacht offers timeless appeal. 

East Coast buyers: This vessel could be easily transported back home—perhaps in time for her 100th anniversary. Don’t miss the chance to bring this classic yacht home and showcase her legacy to the New York boating community.
