American Beauty II is a classsic custom built 44 foot Chesapeake deadrise sightseeing and party boat. The Chesapeake deadrise is a powerboat designed to meet the challenges of working the bay. Deadrise refers to a line rising upward from the keel to the chine, which determines the V shape of the bottom of the hull. A boat with “significant deadrise” is a boat with a deeper, sharper V-shaped hull. The V shaped hull can cut through the water with greater ability to efficiently channel the water away as it meets the boats hull. This helps ensure a smooth Hamptons boat ride. As a result, whether it is a private charter, a sunset cruise or our 90 minute nature cruise, American Beauty II is the Hamptons Boat Ride.
