The story of our boat 

“We purchased Bacaruda on New Year's Eve 2020 and lived onboard full-time for two years. During that time, we cruised the east coast of Florida, the Florida Keys, and the Bahamas. We have updated and outfitted her to ensure modern-day comfort, equipping her with 1200 amp-hours of lithium batteries, 1865 watts of solar power, and top-of-the-line Victron and Battle Born systems. 

While our kids have transitioned back to land life to experience traditional high school, we find ourselves unable to use Bacaruda as much as we would like. Despite our reluctance to part with her, we can't justify keeping her with our busy schedules.”
