Earl G. Alfaro Review

Summary

Earl G Alfaro, a graduate of Westlawn Institute of Marine Technology, design crafts for Pursuit Boats. In fact, as of information published in 2004, he holds the position of Senior Development Engineer. The web offers little in-depth information on Alfaro. However, those interested in examples of his work should check out the Pursuit Boats website.

Located in Fort Pierce, Florida, Pursuit Boats, Earl G. Alfaro’s place of employment, is owned by S2 Yachts, Inc, originally Slickcraft. Pursuit Boats opened its first factory in Holland Michigan in 1955 and still operates out of the same town. Pursuit boats designs center console, offshore, and Denali style fishing boats.

Apparently, Alfaro also designs his own Earl G. Alfaro Yachts. Although interested yachters will likely have trouble finding information on these yachts, the website for Yachting Magazine does offer a review of his Voyager 60 design. According to Pursuit Boats, the Voyager 60, a long range cruiser, ranks with the best yachts of its kind on the market today. Features of the craft include specially designed bulwarks, an aesthetically pleasing stern design, and large hanging lockers. Also, the reviewer claims that the crafts has an overall elegant design and ride. Despite this good review, yachters may want to exercise caution if purchasing an Alfaro Yacht. Although an email and phone number are both offered for Alfaro, very little information is available about the crafts. Therefore, buyers may find it hard to make an informed purchase.
