Broker's Comments

Sometimes as a broker you step aboard a yacht and everything feels just right. I got that feeling immediately on board this boat. Beautifully maintained and upgraded, she is ready to circumnavigate again and in some style and comfort. The C & N 48 is a true bluewater classic and this one(the last ever built) has to be the best example around. Don't delay, she won't be here for long. Call us and arrange viewing. These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
