Details
Frolic is a factory-certified boat based in Merritt, North Carolina. She’s got some exciting upgrades, including new sails, the Volvo engines that were replaced in 2018 under the Volvo recall, a new water maker, and more.
Her current owners have taken great care of her, and she’s all set for her next adventure. This is a great opportunity to purchase an Antares on the East Coast and explore the northern parts of the US during the hurricane season.
Doug and Marjorie Weibel began cruising in 2017. While not full-time liveaboards, they have spent the majority of their time aboard over the last several years and have sailed Frolic as far north as Newfoundland and as far south as Trinidad. They love the cruising lifestyle, exploring new places, and spending time on the water. Living on Frolic has given them the opportunity to spend time in foreign countries, getting to know the people and the culture. It has allowed them to practice their favorite water sports like wing foiling, wind surfing, scuba and free diving, and spearfishing. And it has given them the opportunity to live in touch with nature and grow to love the sea.
