1961 Breuil Enterprise — Rare Wooden Classic Sportfisher | Hull #18 of 19

Overview

A genuine piece of sportfishing history — this 1961 Breuil Enterprise is hull #18 of only 19 ever built, and one of just two of this model known to survive. Handcrafted in Florida with lapstrake mahogany topsides and a double-diagonal plywood bottom under a fiberglass overlay, she carries the kind of timeless lines and old-world character you simply can’t find in a production fiberglass boat.

This is a rare opportunity for a classic boat enthusiast, a restoration-minded buyer, or a collector looking to own one of the last examples of a nearly extinct model. She’s equally suited as a project to bring back to showpiece condition or as a characterful liveaboard / harbor cruiser in the meantime.

Condition — Known Needs In the interest of transparency, this boat is being offered as a project/restoration opportunity, not a turnkey vessel:

• Exterior wood requires varnish/refinishing
• Teak deck requires repair or replacement
• Starboard engine requires a new fuel injector pump and exhaust elbow

Boats like this are disappearing. With only 19 Breuil Enterprises ever built and just two of this specific model known to exist, ownership opportunities like this rarely come up. She’s a legitimate collector’s item with real restoration potential — the wood hull, classic proportions, and vintage instrumentation offer a presence no modern sportfisher can replicate.
