Bunker & Ellis Picnic Boat

Reward was built by the Bunker & Ellis Boat Company in Manset, Maine, in 1963.  She was fully refurbished in 2006/2007.  The total project—rebuilt cabin, trunk, decks, interior and all new systems, including twin Yanmar diesels—took twelve months of labor.

She is a beautiful classic Downeast pleasure boat that has been restored and maintained to “like new” condition.  This is a unique opportunity to recapture the simple elegance and comfort of an authentic Bunker & Ellis.
