PARTICULARS AS SUPPLIED BY THE OWNER ARE BELIEVED TO BE CORRECT BUT ARE NOT WARRANTED. BROKER'S COMMENT: This custom yacht was built and maintained virtually without regard to cost by a prominent Nova Scotia businessman and philanthropist. It is now for sale by the second owner who owns the service company that maintained the boat for the original owner. Designed for entertaining, it has a vast amount of space between the cockpit and the main cabin, all on one level. In 2003 she had Home Trade III Coast Guard certification for use as a commercial tour boat. This is a serious and powerful boat that would be ideal as a live-a-board. Her low profile would make her an ideal yacht for both the Intra-coastal Waterway and the 'Great Circle' cruise. For more information or to arrange a viewing contact:
