About this vessel
1989 MASON 54 - ANNA BEE - A Rare Opportunity to Own One of the Most Extensively Updated Mason 54s on the Market
Some yachts are built to cruise. The Mason 54 was built to cross oceans.
ANNA BEE is a remarkable example of the legendary Al Mason-designed, Ta Shing-built Mason 54 - combining serious offshore capability, timeless beauty and exceptional craftsmanship with a level of recent investment and modernization rarely found in a yacht of this pedigree.
What immediately separates ANNA BEE from other classic passagemakers is her exceptional condition.
EXTENSIVE SIX-FIGURE REFIT & MODERNIZATION COMPLETED IN 2025
The pride of ownership is evident throughout an extensive six-figure refit and modernization program completed in 2025, representing a substantial investment in the yacht's decks, rigging, exterior finishes, electrical systems, electronics and cruising equipment.
From her new decks and beautifully finished exterior brightwork to her upgraded rigging, modern navigation and communications electronics, electrical systems and cruising equipment, ANNA BEE reflects a level of investment and care rarely encountered in a Mason of this vintage.
Step aboard and the quality is immediately apparent. Beautiful inlaid teak cockpit seating, new nonskid deck surfaces, gleaming stainless hardware, carefully maintained brightwork and the magnificent handcrafted teak interior showcase the craftsmanship for which Mason yachts are renowned.
This is not simply a classic yacht that has been maintained. ANNA BEE has been thoughtfully and extensively modernized for serious cruising.
DESIGNED FOR QUALITY SAILING EXPERIENCE
Unlike many large center-cockpit cruising yachts, ANNA BEE features the desirable aft-cockpit configuration, providing excellent helm visibility, convenient sail handling and a connected sailing experience.
Her sailing systems have been thoughtfully configured to make handling a 54-foot passagemaker practical for a cruising couple. The result is a substantial offshore yacht that can be managed efficiently while retaining the powerful sailing characteristics for which the Mason 54 is respected.
MODERN NAVIGATION, COMMUNICATIONS & OFFSHORE SYSTEMS
One of the most significant advantages of ANNA BEE is the integration of modern cruising technology into a proven bluewater platform.
Her navigation and communications equipment includes a modern multifunction chartplotter/radar installation, Raymarine sailing instruments, AIS/GPS-equipped Standard Horizon VHF and an Icom M700 long-range SSB radio.
For today's cruising owner, this combination adds tremendous value: classic offshore construction and craftsmanship without sacrificing the navigation, communications, electrical capability and convenience expected aboard a modern passagemaker.
TIMELESS MASON CRAFTSMANSHIP
Below decks, ANNA BEE demonstrates why yachts built by Ta Shing have earned such an enduring reputation.
Rich handcrafted teak joinery, beautifully finished cabinetry and traditional yacht detailing create an interior that is warm, elegant and unmistakably nautical.
The spacious accommodations include an owner's stateroom, aft guest stateroom with private head, forward guest/crew cabin with double bunks, generous main salon and a well-equipped galley. Her interior offers the warmth and craftsmanship of a traditional sailing yacht combined with the systems and amenities required for extended cruising.
PERKINS DIESEL POWER
ANNA BEE is powered by a Perkins 4.236 85 HP diesel with fewer than 2,000 hours.
She cruises comfortably at approximately 8 knots and carries approximately 212 gallons of fuel and 300 gallons of fresh water, providing the capacity and independence desirable for extended cruising and offshore passagemaking.
The machinery spaces and onboard systems reflect the same thoughtful approach evident throughout the yacht, with accessible equipment and substantial cruising systems designed for long-range use.
A YACHT THAT STANDS APART
Mason 54s rarely come to market.
Finding one that combines the original pedigree and craftsmanship of the design with this degree of recent modernization is considerably more unusual.
ANNA BEE offers extensive recent upgrades and modern cruising technology.
If your plans include sailing the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, Mexico, Hawaii, the South Pacific or extended coastal cruising, ANNA BEE deserves serious consideration. She is a yacht to be experienced in person.
