This boat has just completed a major refit and reconditioning by a very particular and caring owner. Regrettably he must move on to other ventures and is offering this beautifully reconditioned vessel for sale.
Sylvia Earle was successfully delivered from Florida to New Jersey in Fall of 2017 and was proven to be a reliable, comfortable and economical long range cruiser. Upon arriving in New Jersey, a 10 month intensive refit was begun and has resulted in a vastly improved yacht with lots of Classic appeal.
Vessel has been prepared to be a fully equipped, waterfront apartment with rental options. Owner has procured two different liveaboard slips, (One in New York Harbor, and the other in Point Pleasant New Jersey). His intent was to offer the yacht as a short term rental with Air B&B.
This opportunity would allow a berth with spectacular City and Statue of Liberty views with a parking spot for your vehicle, and access to New York City Ferry and Train Service within walking distance, all included with a well restored and fully equipped 3 S/R cruising yacht.
Vessel is offered in turn key condition having just completed a $100,000 refit.
