    Captain's Comments

    M/Y True North is a classic Feadship. We turn heads and get compliments almost every time we pull into port. She handles and maneuvers very well. The hull shape, weight, and stabilizers make for an exceptionally smooth ride whether under way or at anchor. The crew quarters are bright and comfortable, and the guest areas are modern and beautiful. This all adds up to an incredible owner/guest experience that, as captains, we feel proud to offer. As with all older (and newer) yachts she requires regular maintenance, but this boat has been very well cared for over the years and will surely delight the next owner with travel and pleasure for many years to come.
