OWNER SAYS SELL! $50,000 price reduction!
The best built, best equipped 63' Cape Horn CH63 Trawler STEEL OASIS is now available! A spectacular pedigreed Cape Horn trawler, hull # 6, whose emphasis is on safety, redundancies, quality, low maintenance, and luxury liveaboard cruising. Her first owners lightly cruised Two By Sea for 2 years, second owners enjoyed Florida, Bahamas, and Caribbean for 12 years; the next owners purchased the former Two By Sea for world cruising but an unexpected medical situation allowed only coastal cruising and trip to Bahamas. New owners had professional surveyors for 3 days, including full audiogauging with only a few minor issues noted and those have been corrected. The owner cruised from FL to home port in VA. but a change in family plans now requires the sale of Steel Oasis. The ownership history has kept Steel Oasis in outstanding mechanical and cosmetic condition. The replacement cost for this vessel including her upgrades and options would be well over $3 million dollars. This truly is a must see yacht and an opportunity.
