1987 President 37 Sundeck Adagio

Adagio is a classic 1987 President 37 Sundeck motor yacht offering the space, utility, and warm interior character that made these Taiwanese-built cruisers so popular with Northwest boaters, liveaboards, and coastal cruisers. With a practical two-stateroom, two-head layout, dual helm stations, enclosed sundeck, enclosed flybridge, dinghy package, diesel heat, generator, watermaker, bow and stern thrusters, and recent bottom service, Adagio presents as a capable and comfortable platform for extended time aboard.

President Yachts are known for delivering a tremendous amount of interior volume for their length, and Adagio is a strong example of that appeal. Her double-cabin arrangement gives real separation between the forward guest cabin and the aft master stateroom, while the raised sundeck and flybridge expand the living space well beyond the salon. Large cabin windows, teak interior joinery, and a galley-down layout create a bright, practical, and inviting onboard environment.

Accommodations

Adagio’s interior offers a practical cruising layout with excellent privacy for owners and guests. Forward is a guest cabin with single bunks, storage, and access to the chain locker. A forward head is located aft of the guest cabin.

Moving aft, the galley is down to port and provides a well-protected cooking and food-prep area. The main salon is up a few steps and benefits from large windows, a lower helm station, and flexible salon space. The salon soleboards provide access to the engine and machinery space below.

Aft of the salon, steps lead down to the aft master stateroom. This cabin features a walkaround queen berth, built-in storage, and an ensuite head. Above the aft cabin is the enclosed sundeck, which functions as a second living area and excellent entertaining space. From the sundeck, steps lead up to the enclosed flybridge.

Her recent survey described her as a structurally sound, well-designed and well-constructed fiberglass motor vessel with the wear expected of a vessel of her age, along with a mix of original systems and modern upgrades. As with any classic motor yacht, buyers should review the available survey and mechanical reports, verify current operation of all systems, and perform their own inspections to their satisfaction.

Adagio is an appealing option for a buyer seeking a classic double-cabin motor yacht with strong liveaboard comfort, practical cruising systems, and a layout that feels much larger than her 37 feet.
