Description
The Wasque 26 is a true classic downeast boat, and one of the more versatile: ideally suited for fishing, island hopping, regatta watching, sunset cruises, and overnights. They are extremely capable boats that are known for their seaworthiness, she is stable and comfortable in a seaway and easy to maneuver around the dock. Her large cockpit can accommodate family and guests for picnic outings while her beautifully finished interior invites the occasional weekend cruise.
Zaraffa is a very unique and special Wasque in that she is practically a brand new boat, the hull is a 2001 however she was only just built out 2 years ago. The hull was purchased by a boat builder in Rhode Island in 2019 who started the project of building out the boat. The current owner purchased it as a project in early 2020, and commissioned the boat builder who had started it, to finish it out to his specifications. She went for her first sea trial ever in 2020, so while her Hull ID reflects 2001, this boat is a completely new boat as of 2019/2020. Nothing in or on the boat is older than 2018 except for the actual fiberglass in the hull.
Zaraffa is in the water, on the dock and available for viewing by appointment in Newport, RI.

Michael Porter joins ECYS as an experienced yacht captain and engineer. He holds a USCG 100 Ton Master license as well as a Bachelorâs degree from the University of Michigan. Mike has cruised South and Central America, the Caribbean, Bahamas, and the East Coast of the United States amassing more than 90,000 sea miles as captain and crew on over 80 different sail and power vessels under 160 feet.
Growing up in Michigan, Mike has always been on the water. It is safe to say that itâs in his blood. His great grandfather was a boatbuilder in New Hampshire and founded Goodhue and Hawkins Navy Yard on Lake Winnipesaukee, building runabouts, steamers, launches, and express cruisers.
During his summers off from college, Mike taught at and managed a sailing program at Camp Michigania in Northern Michigan. After earning his degree, Mike worked for a short time in sales before trading in his suit and tie for a pair of boardshorts and moving to the British Virgin Islands. He worked at the Bitter End Yacht Club where he taught sailing and windsurfing and captained snorkel tours and daysails.
Mike then moved back to the states, took his STCW-95 and went to work on private yachts. Mike ran an 80â Marlow Voyager expedition yacht with a busy program for 4 years. After cruising remote parts of the world, he then decided to return to a more land-based lifestyle and joined Maine-based True Course Yachting as a Captain and Operations Manager specializing in Downeast powerboats of all shapes and sizes. Before joining the ECYS team, Mike was in Palm Beach, Florida, where he ran his own yacht management company.
Mike is excited to get on the water with you and share his knowledge and passion for boating.
