Cuddy (cabin)

Cuddy (cabin)

A cuddy is a small cabin in a boat. A cuddy boat is a boat with a small cabin with maybe a small galley and small head. It may have a small berth also. Normally the cuddy is not tall enough to stand in. "Cuddy cabin", while a redundant term (cuddy itself means cabin), is a common term among small boaters.

A cuddy boat is popular with people who want a little shelter and storage space but do not want to upgrade to a full cabin boat.
