Apollonian Yachts 52 Motoryacht

Apollonian Yachts is a new brand of practical, comfortable cruisers created by boat broker and yacht salesman Vic Parcells and yacht designer Howard Apollonio.

Parcells’ customers appreciated the sensibility of the raised pilothouse design but wanted the reliability and performance of a new boat. Howard, while modernizing a proven hull design, found it paired perfectly with a versatile new boat layout. The two realized they were both looking to build the same boat, so they started Apollonian Yachts.

“I knew the time was right to develop a new boat in this market because so many customers want raised pilothouse motoryachts,” Parcells says. “Apollonian Yachts delivers the right combination of quality, comfort and affordability that these buyers are looking for.”

At 52 feet overall and with a 16-foot, 8-inch beam, the Apollonian 52 fits in most 50-foot slips.

Powered by twin Cummins QSB 6.7 425s driving straight shafts and a standard bow thruster, the boat can be easily handled by a couple. The yacht cruises steadily between 12 and 14 knots and tops out at 18.3 knots. With a range of 253 nm at 12 knots, the boat is ideal for Great Lakes cruising. The radar arch folds down providing an air draft of 17 feet, 10 inches, allowing Great Loop completion.

Richly appointed in American cherry and book-matched burl the Apollonian is elegant yet comfortable. The central galley adjacent to both the main salon and pilothouse dining lounge features household-sized stainless steel appliances. Three cabins include a full-beam queen master with a large head and separate shower. The VIP forward has a queen island berth and shares a head and shower with the twin bunk cabin.

Apollonian Yachts are sold ready to go with a huge list of standard features, including a Garmin electronics package with radar and autopilot.
