Broker Remarks
Das Biest-turn‑key and ready to travel. Her capabilities, updates, and engineering pedigree make her stand out even among other custom Pluckebaums. She must be seen in person to be fully appreciated—photos simply do not capture her scale, condition, or presence.
A rare opportunity to own a true long‑range, custom‑built coastal cruiser with the power, tankage, and comfort to go anywhere.
