Her owners loved their Little Harbor so much, they bought a bigger one.
That's the story behind BRISE DE MER, a 1987 Little Harbor 53. After seven years aboard, her owners have moved up to a larger Little Harbor, and she's ready for her next chapter.
We've talked about Little Harbor craftsmanship and centerboard designs. BRISE DE MER shows off a few more of the thoughtful details that make Little Harbor owners so loyal:
🔹 A rare two-cabin layout. Most 53s have three cabins. BRISE DE MER has an oversized, full-width master forward with a queen berth, plus a private VIP cabin aft. Each cabin has its own head and separate stall shower.
🔹 Storage that makes sense. Fuel and water tanks sit below the cabin sole, which frees up huge storage space under the seats and adds stiffness overall.
🔹 A versatile cutter rig. She carries a furling main, genoa and staysail, plus an asymmetrical spinnaker for light air.
🔹 Light and airy below. She has 17 opening portholes, 11 deck hatches and six topside windows, so it's bright and breezy down below, not dark and closed in.
🔹 Chesapeake ready. With just 5'6" of draft (board up), she's perfectly at home in her current port of Oxford, MD, and just as ready for the Bahamas.
Previously featured in Chesapeake Bay Magazine, BRISE DE MER also comes with recent care: new topside and deck paint in 2023, a fresh barrier coat and bottom paint plus a new Strataglass dodger in 2026, and a watermaker, generator and Yanmar diesel already
