Blue Water Boats Review: “The build quality and high standards of engineering made a name for Alajuela. The hull is molded in one-piece from hand-laid fiberglass varying in thickness from 3/4 inch near the bilges to 1/2 inch at the topsides. Inside the hull, there are no liners, it's all wood bonded to the hull which is durable while providing accessibility to every nook and cranny. The deck uses plywood coring and the hull-to-deck joint remains one of the best in the industry. Of particular note were the beautiful bronze fittings which were cast by Alajuela themselves.”

History: Ligaya has only had 3 owners in 45 years. The first owner enjoyed her from 1976 to 1988, the second owner from 1998 to 2003, and the last owner from 2003 to the Present. Ligaya was purchased in 2003 and cruised the west coast of the US and then she was transported to New Orleans in 2013. Lake Pontchartrain is a brackish lake, more fresh than salt. The vessel has been well maintained over the years but unfortunately, the owner passed away earlier this year so we do not have specific dates for all of the upgrades done from 2003 on.
