When Charley Morgan introduced the Morgan Out Island 49 in 1976, it was conceived as a premium, stretched evolution of the wildly successful Out Island 41, aimed at delivering the ultimate in liveaboard comfort, cavernous storage, and shoaldraft independence. Built by Morgan Yachts in St. Petersburg, Florida, the Out Island 49 shared design DNA and hull geometry with the subsequent Out Island 50 and 51. Yet, with only about six units ever constructed, it stands today as one of the rarest models in the builder’s storied lineup. Unlike its smaller sibling, which conquered the global charter market by the hundreds, the Out Island 49 was designed as an exclusive, highvolume ocean voyager for owneroperators who valued a secure centercockpit layout and unparalleled tankage. This vessel was built to withstand the rigors of longterm liveaboard cruising while granting access to the shallowest anchorages of the Bahamas and Caribbean.
