Overview
About this vessel
TAKE FIVE is a handsome example of the 2006 Navigator Californian 34, a practical American coastal cruiser that combines traditional trawler-inspired styling, efficient operation, and comfortable accommodations in a size that is especially well suited to San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta.
The Californian name has deep roots in West Coast boating. Originally developed in the early 1970s by designer Jule Marshall and the Marshall Boat Company in Southern California, Californian yachts earned a reputation for rugged construction, seakindly hulls, sensible layouts, and boats designed around the way owners actually cruise. That heritage carries forward in TAKE FIVE, offering the kind of comfortable, capable platform that works equally well for a day on the Bay, a weekend in the Delta, or an extended cruise.
For San Francisco Bay, TAKE FIVE offers the protection, visibility, and substantial feel that owners appreciate when conditions become breezy and the afternoon chop builds. Her enclosed interior provides a welcome refuge from the Bay's cooler temperatures, while generous windows keep the surroundings visible and the salon bright. Her manageable 34-foot size also makes her far easier to handle, berth, and maintain than many larger cruising yachts while still providing the accommodations and amenities expected aboard a serious cruising boat.
The Sacramento Delta brings out another side of TAKE FIVE. At relaxed cruising speeds she is ideally suited to exploring the Delta's winding waterways, quiet anchorages, waterfront destinations, and warm summer evenings. Her comfortable living spaces make her an inviting weekend retreat, while her practical deck arrangement and cruising layout allow owners and guests to move easily between indoor and outdoor areas, accessing the comfortable cockpit area and barbecue setting.
TAKE FIVE is the kind of yacht that can serve many roles well: Bay cruiser, Delta getaway, weekend condominium on the water, entertaining platform, or capable cruiser. For a buyer looking for traditional American styling, practical cruising comfort, and a boat sized perfectly for Northern California waters, TAKE FIVE deserves serious consideration.
The single Volvo Penta D6-310 inboard engine transformed the Navigator Californian 34 into a highly optimized, dual-character vessel. By pairing a relatively lightweight fiberglass hull with an electronic, common-rail 5.5-liter inline-6 diesel, this package bridges the gap between a slow-moving, traditional trawler and a modern high-speed cruiser. At hull speed, the D6-310 operates with remarkable efficiency due to its high low-end torque and electronic fuel mapping, cruising at 7.5 to 8.0 knots at approximately 1,500–1,800 RPM with estimated fuel burn of 2.0 to 3.0 gallons per hour. When pushed to semi-displacement speeds of 10 to 12 knots, the engine operates at 3,000–3,250 RPM with fuel burn of 11 to 14 gallons per hour. The massive low-end torque, common-rail fuel injection managed by Volvo's Electronic Vessel Control, and single-engine advantage eliminate mechanical drag compared to twin-engine configurations.
Recent upgrades include new 8D batteries (2018), upgraded engine parts to 2018 manufacture standards, added radar with new chartplotter (2018), replaced salon carpeting with Lonseal flooring (2018), added V berth carpeting and new mattress (2018), added cockpit seat (2018), added salon cabinet with countertop, drawer, and microwave (2018), added fixed mounted fire extinguisher in engine compartment (2018), dripless shaft seal replacement (2025), new raw water pump (2026), and new fuel cooler (2026).
