Ownership
The Owner/Captian is the Broker in this listing. He is a hands on person that has touched every aspect of this boat. He has cleaned, inspected, improved many of the systems and learned lots of details that will be shared with the next owner. He remains friends with the man who previously owned and invested in this boat and the tradition will continue.
One of the most intangible assets of this fine yacht is the support and knowledge obtained for the hundreds of current and former DeFever Owners through the DeFever Forum. A wonderful group always willing to share the knowledge and love of a classic line of yachts still in operation and cruising the waters of the world.
