2002 Beneteau 411

 

Click on the picture and check out this 2002 Beneteau 411.  Excellent equipment, well maintained and includes great electronics, a/c, generator, and much more.  She is currently located in Gulfport, MS and will be here soon.  A great interior includes a pullman forward with aft cabin, two heads and a great galley with refrigeration and separate freezer.  Instrumentation includes Garmins at the helm and at the Nav table for navigation and radar, a great autopilot and other instruments.  Most of all, maintenance on the boat is beautiful.  Call for appointment.

 

 
1992 Island Packet 38

 

 

 If sailing over the horizon is on your agenda, or if you want a safe and secure coastal cruiser, the Island Packet 38 will more than satisfy your every need.

With the large cutter rigged sail plan, and the oversize 50 hp Yanmar (only 1900 hrs) this boat will take you anywhere your dreams can imagine. The list of upgrades and new equipment is virtually endless including: 32" flat panel monitor w/NOAA database charts (2013), DVD Blueray with long range wifi (2013), variable speed fresh water pump (2013), bottom paint (2013), Xantrex 200 watt inverter (2013).  The list is long for equipment and upgrades installed in (2012) as well.  This IP38 is as close to getting a new boat as it comes without the 1/2 million price tag.

 

 

 
Beautiful 1987 Hunter 31 Custom

 

 Priced at the top, this custom 1987 Hunter 31 is loaded, in excellent condition with great options and is ready to either be raced or go cruising, specially equipped in many ways.

Needs to be seen to believe: she has custom swim platform, great electronics, reverse cycle heat and air, fantastic canvas, new port lights and hatches, electric anchor windlass, custom interior and the list goes on and on.

New bottom paint and 4 closed cell batteries about one year ago along with a lot of other upgrades. Make sure you click on "Full Specs" to see the long list of equipment and upgrades.

This is the nicest Hunter 31 I have ever seen during 18 years of brokering!

 

 

 
1990 Island Packet 27

 

The Island Packet 27 features the highly successful Island Packet design concept that combines a modern full keel with handsome traditional styling, a versatile, easily managed rig, and an unusually spacious interior. The moderate draft full keel or optional shoal keel with centerboard give the IP27 capability for bluewater passages as well as exploring shallow coastal waters.

"Reprieve" is a later model 27 sloop with new reverse cycle heat and air, new E-7 Raymarine Chart System, autopilot, propane stove and many more conveniences.   These are great boats as I can attest to, having owned one for 9 years and cruised it extensively.
