🧾 Known Items / Disclosures (full transparency)
Refrigerator has a slow Freon leak; runs well with a periodic top-up — an inexpensive fix, or can be resolved prior to closing on request
Minor gelcoat/fiberglass cracking at the arch attachment point — currently under repair
📍 Location / Dockage
Currently berthed at Bonefish Marina in Marathon, Florida — the mid-point of the Keys, putting her within easy striking distance of the Bahamas, Key Largo, Dry Tortugas, and beyond for weekend runs or extended adventures. Marathon was chosen deliberately for this access.
The current slip lease runs through May 2027 and may be transferable to the buyer depending on circumstances.
🌍 Why Remiinisce
This is a boat that's actually been used hard, maintained meticulously, and proven offshore — not a dock queen. Single-handable despite her size, with the space and systems of a much larger yacht, and genuinely capable of a month off-grid. Ideal for Florida Keys living, Bahamas expeditions, or extended Caribbean cruising — no marina stays required, no major refit needed.
