Comments

This raised pilothouse luxury yacht was built in Halifax and is considered an Adventure Boat. She was launched and immediately cruised South along the U.S. East Coast. She was transited the Panama Canal before continuing up the West Coast to Vancouver.

There is a blog of her journey that includes some videos, including some rough seas with the Gyro engaged, showing minimal “roll”.

The builder has agreed to answer any questions from prospective buyers.Vendors may consider a partial trade for property in Canada.
