Broker's Comments

This yacht has been painstakingly updated for true cruising.
She has a new electrical system, large refrigerator, fantastic ground tackle, new canvas and isinglass, and the stove and oven have been converted to propane. The generator has been removed, however A/C is available dockside.  
It's easy to recognize that this motor yacht is owned by a multi-year sailor. She is ready to cruise the islands and provide live aboard comfort. She's roomy and comfortable. I was especially impressed with the small details that are the result of an owner that has "been there" and understands the easy life.
This boat is a true value.  The only item that hasn't yet been addressed due to the owner's change of plans is new navigational electronics. That means you can install your specifically desired system.
Call for a private viewing.
