HAVING A BLAST WITH BLUEWATER, SAFE HARBOR AND PRINCESS YACHTS When asked about their hobbies, Stuart and Sharon Schwartz simply reply, “travel.” After a few minutes getting to know them, it’s clear their newest travel companion—a Princess Yachts F55—is helping to fulfill the couple’s contagious enthusiasm for travel and adventure. Bluewater Sales Professional Chuck Meyers was also a critical cog in achieving their cruising goals. “Chuck was so incredibly patient with us in our search,” Schwartz explains. “We spent almost five years looking for the perfect boat and he never gave up on us!” In those five years, Stuart and his wife looked at many new boat brands from several countries of origin, including Italy, England and the United States. They traveled to several major boat shows, meeting Chuck and the Bluewater team each time. “We’re good friends with Wyatt [Bluewater’s General Manager] too and keep in touch regularly.” The couple even attended a Princess Owners Holiday in The Bahamas, flying in to join the festivities and learn more about the Princess brand and family of owners, before pulling the trigger. All that time and research affirmed what they may have already suspected early on: “Nothing really compares to the quality and workmanship of a Princess. They’re a really good riding boat,” Schwartz states. After patiently studying and searching, they landed on a beautiful 2020 55’ Princess flybridge model, naming her MYSHARONA, after Sharon. “She looks real good, too,” Schwartz adds. Like the lyrics in the indelible 1979 hit song, it’s clear this little pretty one makes his motor run. MYSHARONA is fully equipped for all the Schwartz’s near-term travel plans including an upgraded electronics suite that includes GOST security and Yacht Controller systems. Schwartz summarizes: “It had everything under the sunwhenwebought it, butwedidaddabow shade awning.” Equipment and features aside, the Schwartz couple appreciate kNACk FOR TRAVEL THE 20 BLUEWATER
