About this yacht

More photos, specifications, and complete equipment details will be available next week. Rather than delay introducing this exceptional yacht, I wanted to make her available now so interested buyers have the opportunity to secure her before the peak summer cruising season.

If you're searching for a well-maintained, extensively updated cruising yacht, this vessel deserves your attention. Please call me for additional information or to arrange an early showing.

  • Isotherm stainless steel refrigerator drawers

  • Isotherm stainless steel ice maker

  • Samsung combination microwave/convection oven

  • Large single-basin Kohler stainless steel sink

  • H & H two-burner induction glass cooktop
