The Breeze-Oceanis 48 meets her new owners

Our clients met their new sailboat last week for the first time. It was a bitterly chilly day in Charleston, but that didn't stop them from climbing aboard their newly named boat "The Breeze"! We look forward to getting them out on the water in a month or so when we hand the boat over after we complete the commissioning process.

For more information on the Oceanis 48, give us a call (843)577-7377.

Saturday Sail on a 343

Making our way through Charleston Harbor on a gray Saturday morning.

 Blue skies showed up though! That is Ft. Sumter on the horizon.

 Nothing better than a Saturday Sail with friends! 

Owner, Bill King

We love pictures of our clients enjoying their boats. We were happy to receive this from one of our recent brokerage clients, who had the pleasure of working with Keith Farfone. Bill, we hope you have some great adventures with your boat!

"Thank you for a great experience with the purchase of my Beneteau Oceanis

343. I am thankful that you were able to help me see the risks, potential

logistical issues and transport costs with a boat I was interested in

Tortola. With patience, you found me the perfect sailboat for my interests

and needs. This transaction was smooth and extremely easy. From the survey

(with lunch provided) to closing, all items were handled efficiently and

professionally and a lot of fun along the way. Your team at St. Barts was

great to work with, including the service and maintenance group. Top notch.

All future purchases and sales will be with you. Thanks again!"

Breezy.

Our client on a Sense 43 sent us this picture yesterday of his parachute flying high. His boat "Miss Ellie"  is sailing down wind using a parachute instead of a spinnaker! Such a fun day out on the water! 

Kite Camera

This gorgeous photo was sent in from one of our single handed cruisers leaving Charleston, SC and heading down to the Jacksonville area. The photo was taken with a Go Pro camera attached to a kite. Thanks for sharing Francisco, your Oceanis 41 makes a pretty picture.

Swift Trawler 34

Remember The Greatest Loop by Beneteau?

Well, the Swift Trawler 34 is still making waves! We handed over one a few months ago to Mr. Caveness who is enjoying his boat on the coast of the Carolinas. If you see "Sea Biscuit" tell him we said hello!

Are you interested in cruising this fall? The good news is that we have a brand new Swift Trawler 34 in Stock at the Charleston office! Stop by to see her shine!
