Best Albin for coastal cruising/short term live-aboard

[jwriggins]

I am a former owner of a larger boat, so I have boat-owning experience and am certain I want to keep my next boat size to 36ft or less.
I want a boat that has good living space, maneuverability, and quality construction in an adaptable, compact package. I have considered many options and keep returning to Albin's 34 ft options. I want enough short term live-aboard space for 3 or 4 adults. Most of the time there will be two adults and three dogs.
I like the Albin 34 Motor Yacht for its compact design, but also am open to other Albin models up to 36ft!! I would really appreciate your suggestions- especially from experienced Albin owners. I will purchase next year and want to get this right......
Thank you ,
Wayne

The 32+2 should fit that bill. Much more space than you would expect

I have a love affair with my 28 TE. The only thing I'm unhappy about is that i have a raised engine, and it's awkward getting more then 2 guest aboard with myself and wife. I have been looking for a flush deck model.
My boat is turnkey and includes a stern thruster (2021)
My fellow boaters say I'm probably crazy for even considering another Albin, since mine is in such good shape.

I'd be interested in your opinions

My best advice would be to lose the dogs and enjoy the smaller Albin any model from 28ft up.

Lose the dogs?? - The very idea!

Just get a bigger boat, plant grass on the roof and buy 3 doggy-jackets.
