1989 Endeavour 51

Sail away at a safe distance in a large spacious sloop in paradise! Very comfortable (close to 7 feet headroom) sailing yacht. Weve spent the past three years re-fitting with a turbo diesel engine, new electrical and the latest and greatest modern electronic navigational equipment. This vessel was built with a strong, thick hull. She draws just 510 with a displacement of 37,500 pounds. A stable and fast cruiser with a great layout. The galley is large, there are two heads, and three cabins. Aft helm under the large solar arch plus a center cockpit. Forward and aft cabins each have queen-sized beds. The mid-cabin has two berths in bunk beds. Gear storage and thought-out comforts for cruising are plentiful. This sailboat is set up to island hop, cross oceans or live-aboard on the hook. Make your own water and power and live comfortably.

We spent three years refitting this sailboat and we have photos and videos to share so you can see the work that was done.

It takes two people to sail this vessel and you can sleep eight or more if you want.

We are new sailors and so we put a lot of emphasis on safety and reliability in our refit. We refitted this boat to sail the world, and we’ve since moved to an island and taken on a huge project that sadly leaves us no time for sailing. So we’re ready to pass this dream on to the next people. If you want a strong sailboat with some cosmetic work to do but nearly all the heavy boat refitting work done already, this is the boat for you. And if youve been considering a smaller sailboat youre going to love all the space on this boat. For live-aboard cruising theres space for you and guests or crew. Space to charter if you desire. And ready to go anywhere you want.

Located in the U.S. Virgin Islands (we sailed here from Florida). You don’t need a passport to get here. This is the best location to start a sailing voyage. Great island hopping. Clear, warm water. And gorgeous beaches.
