Boat History
I first met this beauty at Nanny Cay Marina, where she was docked, proudly weathering the storm of life. Hurricane Irma tried to knock her down in 2017, taking out her mast, but she shrugged it off with just a few scratches on her deck and cabin top. No water ingress and did NOT fall over! It actually worked out in her favor as she got a shiny new mast, fresh rigging, and crisp sails, ready to dance across the waves again.
In December 2020, after passing a survey inspection with flying colors, I passed her keys to a spirited gentleman that resided in Carriacou. For four glorious years, he sailed her through the Caribbean’s turquoise playground, from hidden coves to vibrant ports. When he wasn’t aboard, professional management kept her in tip-top shape at her home in Carriacou. When he was ready to part ways, he gave me a call, and in 2024, I helped find her a new captain. That owner took her on an epic journey up the Caribbean chain, soaking up the sun and vibes in the Bahamas.
Now, after a jaunt up the Caribbean chain and soaking up the sun in the Bahamas, not to mention $$$ invested in some thoughtful upgrades to keep her looking and running great, she’s ready to set sail with her next owner. This yacht’s got stories to tell and plenty of wind left to chase. Who’s ready to write her next chapter?
