Full Moon, with its 670 hp turbo diesel engine, features an 18’ open cockpit and 28’ of enclosed interior space providing generous and comfortable space to enjoy your unmatched day on the Chesapeake and its tributaries. Thanks to ample cabin top racks, there is plenty of room for your recreation supplies of choice – kayaks, paddle boards, bikes and more.
The boat has logged thousands of happy hours from New York to North Carolina, always coming home to Annapolis. Full Moon has been recognized by Chesapeake Bay Magazine for it’s unique charm and capabilities as well as Captain Mike’s long standing reputation for delivering ‘best days’ to many through the years.
This Markley 46, was designed by Robb Ladd of Annapolis, built by Allen Boatbuilders of Cambridge and proudly launched in June 1995. It is meticulously maintained by Annapolis Harbor Boat Yard.
Mike Krissoff grew up on the waters of Anne Arundel County. His yachting journey started with a 12′ wooden rowboat at the age of 7 in Shady Side. He graduated to Lasers, Hobie Cats, log canoes, and a variety of one-design racing sailboats to arrive at his current passion - a custom-built 46′ Chesapeake Bay deadrise.
Cap’n Mike - recently named South River Federation’s Volunteer of the Year, is a 50 Ton US Coast Guard Master. He is the past commodore and 35-year member of Eastport Yacht Club and 20-year member of Annapolis Yacht Club. He has served countless days on race committees with both EYC & AYC.
In his decades on the Bay, Mike has hosted hundreds of days on the water for volunteer and non-profit organizations supporting fundraising and appreciation activities, as well as entertaining bike-riding and fishing friends. Mike and Full Moon have even provided the perfect and unique spot for a wedding. The captain is now retired from a 40-year career in non-profit association management.
Welcome Aboard! Sit back and enjoy the captain’s knowledge of the bay’s history and traditions, its charm and beauty, the varied wildlife and the special spots best known only to long-time locals. Let the journey begin!
