The interior of the Bruckmann 56 is splendidly appointed and is highlighted by precisely crafted joiner work, in this case featuring unusual matched grain butternut wood paneling throughout. Solid Teak and holly soles are standard. Alternate bulkhead, trim & sole options are of course available. Steps lead below and forward to a capacious pantry containing storage fridge / freezer, microwave & a washer / dryer. Opposite is a comfortable guest or captain's cabin with computer desk & upper & lower berths. Forward, the roomy guest cabin features a queen size Island berth & an ensuite head & shower that can also be accessed from the passageway.

The commodious aft owner's suite features a queen size island double with ensuite head and shower. A vanity and computer desk house the entertainment center and there is plentiful stowage with a generous hanging locker and drawers throughout. As noted, the master suite offers direct private access to the cockpiut and deck aft. The cockpit has a built in barbecue and broad swim platform reached through a hinged cockpit door.

Of course, the Bruckmann 56 featured here, is the realization of one owner's ideas and is but one of ant number of manifestations that can be created, depending on the individual needs and cruising requirments. The feeling of wide open space is also characteristic of the expansive salon/pilothouse, which offers unmatched visibility and accessibility. Sliding doors on either side of the house give direct access to broad side decks. There is additional access aft of the main salon to the flybridge steps as well as from the owner's aft suite via a private entry to the cockpit. Optional features in the salon include retractable flat screen plasma and a DVD/CD theatre system, which are also available in every cabin. The inviting galley-up arrangement offers appetizing horizons as well as an electric cooktop, dishwasher, double sinks, icemaker, day refrigerator and attractive dining and seating areas.

The exterior of the Bruckmann 56 offers a pleasing harmony of traditional sheer line and classic aesthetics combined with an advanced glass composite hull that provides outstanding performance in virtually all speeds and conditions. In the words of the designer...
" The advantage of the broad chine flats in the Bruckmann 56 is quite notacible, they lift the hull easily and greatly lower the speed needed to attain planing. The Bruckmann 56 is on the plane at a little over 10 knots and in this case, powered by twin Caterpillar 660 turbo-diesels, she tops out at 28 knots. Moreover, the long skeg not only gives you the propeller and rudder protection, it also offers excellent tracking in any condition."

The Bruckmann 56 is the largest yacht to date to use the highly efficient broad chine flat hull form developed by Mark Ellis.
