    The history of the Canim is an interesting with her other near-looking sisters. Canim was built in 1930 is is one of four 96 foot ling sister boats built in the '20s. She was built at Lake Union Drydocks in Seatle and still exists today in pristine fashion. This is as a result of a 2002 major restoration

    This beautifully built and crafted yacht was built at a time when 96 foot yachts were considered to be large. Her classic attributes definitely turned heads back then and even to this day. Her straight bow and classic fantail with plenty wooden accents gear towards the classic feel.

    Today, the Canim relives the tale of her 'yacht-hood' and then some. She has been outfitted to pay homage to her past as well as cater to the modern realm she is presently in. The Canim features a Lower, Main and Top-Deck in which guest can browse.

    The Lower-Deck has been fitted out with accommodation. One Master-Suite and two guest rooms greet guests on arrival below. Tastefully outfitted with quality woods, materials and finishes, the accommodation for the guest is welcoming. The Master has a large bed, lockers and drawers for storage as well as an en-suite head. The guest cabins have a head as well as double beds, storage and shower as well as heating and air conditioning throughout all accommodation.

    The dedicated and hardworking crew also have room for themselves. The crew cabins are designed and appointed in a similar fashion to the guest cabins. If one took the stairs in the crew area, you would arrive in the forward part of the saloon on the Main-Deck.

    On the Main-Deck, the highlight has to be the beautifully crafted saloon. Original pieces from the 1930's still exist on the Canim and even where they aren't any, faithful reproductions have been manufactured. The Saloon features Burmese teak of the highest quality. Hand made furniture as well as precisely fitted leather upholstery for the seating areas have been accomplished.

    Aside from the space being air conditioned, it boasts home entertainment systems, bar, beverage center and so on. Sharing the Main-Deck space is the galley and a day head! On to the Top-deck.

    The Top-Deck shares the wheelhouse and open air aft deck. The wheelhouse is fitted with modern navigation equipment while keeping a nostaligic flair in mind. The deck out side features over 800 square feet of entertaining, relaxing and lounging space. A bounty of lounge chairs can be set up with tables for a diversified setting.

    In conclusion, the Canim represents a throwback to an era long gone. However, she gives the oportunity for the nostalgia to be relived. Carefully executed, the outfitting of the Canim has been done to keep the period in mind but offer modern amenities of the times. At 96 feet, she was considered a big yacht but in today's world she is small. Look on the interior and you will find top-quality finishes systems and materials that would wow any person.
