Blue Peter Yacht | 96' Custom 1928

There are yachts, and then there are proper ships that spread their story across decades and touch hundreds of lives. Vessels whose very names conjure images of adventure, elegance, and the romance of a bygone era. The 1928 motor yacht Blue Peter is undoubtedly one of those ships. Moored at Seattle’s coveted Shilshole Bay Marina, she is a living chronicle of Pacific Northwest maritime history. With nearly a century of stories behind her, Blue Peter stands as a testament to the enduring allure of classic wooden yachts. Now, following an extraordinary $4+ million restoration and upgrade campaign over the past decade, she is offered for sale—ready to write her next chapter with a new steward.

This listing is crafted to honor BLUE PETER’s remarkable provenance, her technical and aesthetic rebirth, and the rare opportunity she presents: a fully restored, turn-key classic yacht with a transferrable slip at Shilshole Bay Marina—one of Seattle’s most desirable moorings. For the discerning buyer, BLUE PETER is more than a yacht; she is an invitation to become part of a living legacy.

Blue Peter was conceived at a time when Seattle was emerging as a center of yacht design and construction. Commissioned by prominent architect John Graham Sr., she was drawn by the legendary naval architect Ted Geary, whose influence on Pacific Northwest yachting needs little introduction. Built at the Lake Union Dry Dock Company, Blue Peter is one of a handful of 96-foot fan-tail motor yachts constructed in the region during the late 1920s—a period that produced several enduring classics, but none with a story quite like hers.

Her name, “Blue Peter,” is derived from the international maritime signal flag “P hoisted to indicate a vessel’s imminent departure. This spirit of adventure and readiness for the next voyage is woven into the very fabric of her identity.
