11.5m Limousine Tender - 2023, Low Hours
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Carbon limo tender off a 70m program, 480 hours, twin diesel jets, serviced and surveyed. She has lived her whole life in a climate-controlled tender garage and been run by the same two crew since delivery, so the gelcoat, upholstery and AV are as close to new as a working boat gets. Both jets were serviced at 450 hours with receipts, and an independent condition survey from March is available to serious buyers. Sale includes custom chocks, lifting gear, covers, and a spares box of impellers and anodes. Mothership upgraded tenders; priced to move before yard period. Viewings by appointment at our Fort Lauderdale berth, sea trial with an offer on the table. Price is close to firm given the survey, but bring me a clean, fast close and we can talk.

60 ft Slip - Las Olas Corridor, Annual
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Protected annual slip to 60 ft LOA, 8 ft draft, 100A single-phase, liveaboard considered with approval. Available August 1. The basin sits well off the ICW wake line behind a fixed breakwater, and the finger pier was rebuilt two seasons ago with new cleats, pedestals and LED dock lighting. Fresh water and pump-out at the slip, secure gate access, cameras on every pier, and street parking plus two assigned spaces. The outgoing tenant is moving up in size after four years here, which tells you most of what you need to know about the spot. Twelve-month term with first, last and security; rate is firm but includes water and quarterly bottom-line inspection of the dock hardware. Walk-throughs weekday mornings by appointment with our dockmaster.

Delivery Crew Wanted: FLL to Newport, June
Fort Lauderdale to Newport, RI
Experienced delivery captain seeks one mate and one engineer for a 34m MY repositioning. Approx 7 days, all expenses plus day rate. References required. The boat is a well-kept raised pilothouse with current class and insurance, fresh fuel polish, and a full pre-departure workup already booked at the yard. Plan is outside route with a Charleston weather stop if the Stream dictates, three-watch rotation, proper bunks and a stocked galley, no guests aboard. I have run this leg eleven times and do not chase schedules into bad windows, so expect a professional trip rather than a hero run. Mate needs solid wheel time on 30m plus; engineer should be comfortable with MTU mains and a Kohler genset. Day rate set against experience, paid on arrival with flights home covered. Send references and ticket scans first, phone call second; departure week of June 15.

Commercial Radar Array - Removed Working in Refit
Dania Beach, FL
Full commercial radar package removed working during bridge refit. Includes processors, displays and cabling. Bench-tested, sold as-is with handover notes. The owner went to an integrated glass bridge, nothing wrong with this kit; it came off a 45m that ran it daily between Florida and the Bahamas without a fault logged in the last two seasons. You get both scanner units, the processor cabinets, two displays, interconnect cabling cut at sensible service lengths, and my handover notes covering settings, quirks and the service history I inherited. I powered the full chain on the bench last month and will demonstrate it live for any serious buyer at the Dania Beach unit where it is stored. No warranty implied, it is refit surplus and priced accordingly, which is why the number is firm. Buyer collects or arranges freight; I can palletize and crate at cost.

Crew Room Available - Walking Distance to Yards
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Private room in managed crew house, utilities and Wi-Fi included, monthly terms. Quiet house, working crew only. The room comes furnished with a proper queen bed, blackout curtains for night-watch sleepers, a desk, and a closet that actually fits sea bags. The house has two shared bathrooms cleaned weekly by a service, a full kitchen, laundry on site, and a backyard with a grill that gets used most Sundays. Current housemates are an engineer at LMC, a chief stew between programs, and a deckhand doing day work, all vetted, all employed. Ten-minute walk to the yards and fifteen by bike to the 17th Street docks. No couples, no pets, no dock-walking tourists; I check references with your captain or last HOD. Rent is what it is, includes everything, and there is no agency fee. Viewings most evenings after 1800.

32 ft Chase Boat with Trailer - Turnkey
Palm Beach, FL
Center console chase boat maintained on a yacht program: triple outboards, 2024 service records, trailer and covers included. She was bought new to shadow a 55m and has been crew-run her whole life, which means freshwater washdowns after every trip, engines flushed religiously, and every service done on the calendar rather than when something broke. The triples have balanced hours and full 2024 records from the authorized dealer, all in the binder. Electronics are a clean factory package with chartplotter, VHF and trim tabs that all work as they should. Sale includes the triple-axle aluminum trailer, full mooring and console covers, lines, fenders and a spares tote. Selling only because the new mothership carries her tender in davits. Lying Palm Beach, easy to view weekdays, survey and sea trial welcome at buyer expense. Priced at the bottom of the comps, so it is firm.

Wanted: 40-45m Explorer, Refit Candidate Considered
South Florida / Bahamas
Qualified buyer with captain retained seeks 40-45m explorer or expedition hull. Survey-ready preferred; honest refit candidates considered with full records. Funds are committed and proof is available through counsel, so this is not a tire-kicking exercise. The brief is long-range cruising with a professional crew of six to eight: steel or aluminum hull preferred, range north of 4,000 nm, working deck crane, and engine room access a surveyor will not curse about. We will look seriously at a refit candidate if the structural survey is honest and the records are complete; what we will not do is pay polished-brochure money for deferred maintenance. The retained captain attends every viewing and we move quickly when a boat checks out, typically offer within ten days of first visit. Brokers welcome with central listings; private sellers even more so. Discretion both directions, all inquiries answered.

Interior Uniform Lot - New, Mixed Sizes
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Unused interior uniform stock from a rebranded program: polos, skorts, epaulettes. Full manifest available, sold as one lot. Everything is brand new with tags, still in the supplier poly bags, ordered last season just before the owner changed the boat name and the whole color scheme with it. The lot runs roughly forty pieces across sizes XS to XL, weighted toward S and M as interior orders usually are: day polos in white and navy, skorts, formal epaulettes, and a handful of service aprons that never left the box. The manifest lists every piece with size and quantity so your chief stew can check it against the crew list before committing. There is no boat name or logo embroidered anywhere, which is the only reason it is worth anything to you. Collection from our Fort Lauderdale crew office, or I will ship UPS at your cost. Lot only, no cherry-picking, and at this price it is firm.

Seasonal Mooring - Central Exumas, 100 ft Class
Exumas, Bahamas
Inspected screw-anchor mooring, November through May. Weather-hold policy and tender support available through local agent. The ground tackle is a commercial screw-anchor system rated for the 100 ft class, dived and certified at the start of every season with the inspection report supplied to the vessel before first pickup. The mooring sits in a protected basin with good holding all around it, honest depth at low water, and a straightforward approach that your captain will read off the chart in one pass. Our local agent runs daily checks during named-storm season, handles line chafe gear, and can arrange water, fuel runs and provisioning drops by tender on 24 hours notice. The weather-hold policy means you are not paying for nights a forecast forces you off the ball. Multi-month commitments get scheduling priority; the rate quoted is per month for the full season and we hold it firm because the ball never sits empty long.

Hydraulic Passerelle - 4.5m, Serviced
Fort Lauderdale, FL
4.5m telescoping passerelle removed in transom redesign. Recent service, full hydraulic records, crating available for freight. It came off a 38m whose owner wanted a fold-down beach club, so the unit was working perfectly the day we unbolted it; we are the yard contractor that serviced it for the last three seasons and every work order is in the folder. The service in March included new seals throughout, a pressure test on the ram, fresh hydraulic fluid, and replacement of the teak treads where the originals had worn. Stainless is polished, the remote works, and the limit switches were verified on our bench rig, which any buyer is welcome to watch run before money moves. Sold with the powerpack, control box, mounting hardware and the records binder. We can crate to export standard and deliver to a freight forwarder at cost. The price reflects a serviced unit, not auction-yard salvage, so consider it firm.

Pair of 2024 three-seat personal watercraft, low hours
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Two matched 2024 three-seaters, 41 and 38 hours, always freshwater flushed and stored on chocks under the boat deck. Sold as a pair with covers, lift slings, and full service records. Coming off a 50m program after a toy refresh. Both machines had their first dealer service on schedule and have never been beached, never seen a rental dock, and never sat in salt overnight; the deck crew flushed and chamois-dried them after every guest session because the chief officer made sure of it. Hulls are unmarked, seats have no tears, and both batteries were replaced in April as routine. The boss simply orders new toys every two seasons, so these are going while they are still worth proper money. You also get the registration paperwork, spare keys and lanyards, and a tote of factory tie-down hardware. View them running at our Fort Lauderdale berth, water test welcome. The pair stays together and the price is set fair for hours and condition; modest room for a quick, complete deal, but do not open with half.

Rebuilt seawater pump and impeller kits for 1,400hp diesels
Miami, FL
One factory-rebuilt raw water pump plus six new impeller kits, surplus after an engine swap mid-refit. Pump has zero hours since rebuild, paperwork included. Fits common 1,400hp marine diesel configurations, verify your serial before purchase. The rebuild was done by the factory-authorized shop in March with new bearings, seals, cam and wear plate, and the certificate plus invoice travel with the pump. The impeller kits are sealed in original boxes with gaskets and O-rings, current production date codes, nothing dusty off a back shelf. We pulled the engines for a repower before this spares order ever got used, which is the whole story of why it is for sale. I will give you the casting and part numbers up front so your engineer can confirm fitment against your serial before anyone wastes a trip. Inspection at our Miami shop on weekdays, cash or wire, and I can hand it to a freight forwarder the same day. Priced under half of list as a package; selling as one lot and the number is firm.

Dockside teak deck restoration, Lauderdale to Palm Beach
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Two-man crew offering sanding, re-caulking, and bung replacement at your slip, no yard haul required. Recent jobs on 30m to 55m motor yachts, references from three local captains available. Booking July and August slots now. We have been doing nothing but teak for eleven years, and the difference shows in the details: we hand-sand margins instead of running a machine to the caulk line, we rout and re-pay seams with the correct two-part compound rather than smearing over failures, and we replace bungs with grain-matched stock so the repair disappears. A typical aft deck runs three to five working days; full main decks get a written schedule before we start so your chief officer can plan guest movements around us. We carry our own power, vacuums and dust containment, leave the dock clean every evening, and carry liability insurance your management company can verify. Quotes are free and come itemized by square meter after a walk-through, written price holds for thirty days. Summer slots go fast once the season boats come north, so get the walk-through booked.

Wanted: AV technician for bridge and salon system refresh
Nassau, Bahamas
42m private motor yacht seeks an AV tech to travel to Nassau for a one-week salon and bridge entertainment refresh, flights and accommodation covered. Scope includes new displays, audio zoning, and tidy cable runs behind existing joinery. Must be comfortable working aboard with crew in residence. The existing system is a ten-year-old install that has been patched by too many hands; the owner has approved a sensible budget for new displays in the main salon and sky lounge, a re-zoned audio matrix so the aft deck stops bleeding into the master, and proper labeled cabling to replace the spaghetti we inherited. Equipment is already specified and most of it is on island, so this is skilled installation and commissioning work, not a design contract. You will have joinery access arranged with our carpenter and a deckhand assigned to you for pulls. We need someone who works clean, documents as they go, and leaves a system the next tech can read. Day rate quoted against your references and recent install photos; we are not shopping for the cheapest, we are shopping for the one we never have to call back. Start window is the second half of July.

Charter provisioning runs, Exumas and Nassau, 48hr turnaround
Nassau, Bahamas
Family-run provisioner sourcing produce, proteins, dry stores, and guest-specific requests for boats working the Exumas. Chilled delivery by tender or dock within 48 hours of a confirmed list. Standing accounts available for the full charter season. We are second-generation in this trade and the chefs who use us season after season do so because the cold chain is real: reefer van from the Nassau suppliers, insulated totes with logged temps, and a tender transfer that takes minutes, not an hour of melting ice on a hot dock. Produce is picked the morning of your run, proteins come from the same wholesalers the resorts use, and the hard-to-find guest requests are our specialty; if it exists on New Providence we will find it, and if it has to fly in we will tell you the honest cost and timing up front. Lists are confirmed line by line with substitutions flagged before we shop, never after. Pricing is cost plus a stated margin with the receipts attached, so your purser sees exactly what everything cost. Standing accounts settle weekly and jump the queue in high season, which matters when three boats want the same Saturday delivery at Staniel Cay.

34m motor yacht seeks summer charter bookings, New England
Newport, RI
Freshly refitted 34m with five cabins and a six-person crew taking July through September bookings between Newport and Maine. Strong water-sports package and a chef with a raw-bar focus. Broker inquiries welcome, owner is motivated to fill shoulder weeks. The refit wrapped this spring: new interior soft goods throughout, repainted hull, zero-hour stabilizer service, and a tender garage reorganized around a new jet tender, two paddleboard fleets, water skis and an inflatable island the kids never want to leave. The crew has done four seasons together on this coast and it shows in the itineraries; we run Newport, the Vineyard, Nantucket and Cuttyhunk without ever repeating an anchorage, and the Maine legs in August are the trips guests write to the owner about. The chef came off a Michelin-starred kitchen and her raw bar with the afternoon haul from local boats is the signature of the program. APA, VAT and delivery fees quoted plainly with no surprises at settlement. July peak weeks are moving; the owner will sharpen the rate for shoulder weeks in early July and September, especially back-to-back bookings. Full brochure, sample menus and crew profiles on request.

Crew foul weather kit, 6 sets, offshore grade, unworn
Antibes, France
Six unworn sets of offshore-grade bibs and smocks in mixed sizes M to XL, ordered for a delivery that changed crew. Includes spray hoods and dry bags, original packaging. Selling as one lot only. The order was placed for an Atlantic crossing last autumn; the owner then decided to ship the boat instead, the new crew never embarked, and the kit has sat in a dry locker at our Antibes crew house ever since, still in supplier packaging with the size stickers on. This is proper offshore-grade gear, taped seams and adjustable everything, not marina-grade fashion kit, and replacing it new would cost more than double the asking price. The size split is two M, three L and one XL, which suits a typical delivery crew without anyone squeezing. Each set comes with its matching spray hood and a roll-top dry bag. Inspection welcome at the crew house near Port Vauban any weekday evening, and I can ship within Europe at cost. One lot, one invoice, no splitting sizes out, and the price is firm because offshore season is coming.

Seasonal 40m slip with shore power and crew parking
Palm Beach, FL
Private dock berth taking vessels to 40m, available July through November while the home boat summers north. Dual 100A shore power, fresh water, pump-out, and gated crew parking for four vehicles. Six-month commitment preferred, shorter terms considered. The dock is a private residential berth, not a marina fairway, which means no transient neighbors rafting parties alongside and no fuel-dock wake at 0700. Depth is honest at low water for a full-displacement 40m, the approach is straightforward off the ICW, and the pilings and fender boards were redone within the last two years. The estate maintains landscaping and lighting to the waterline, security is gated with cameras, and our dock manager lives five minutes away and answers his phone. Crew may use the parking, the dock box and the hose-down station; this is a working berth and we expect a professionally run boat, references checked both directions. Sublease runs through the owner's LLC with proper insurance certificates required. Rate includes water; power is metered at cost. Priced for the private setting, and at six months we will hold it; shorter terms carry a premium.

Williams DieselJet 565 Tender, 2023, 180 Hours
Fort Lauderdale, South Florida
One-owner DieselJet 565 pulled from a 40m program after a tender upgrade. Textron jet drive serviced at 150 hours, new tubes in January, Garmin chartplotter and full canvas included. Lift kept, never trailered, ready to splash at Lauderdale Marine Center. I ran this tender myself for two seasons and it has been crew-handled from day one: freshwater flush after every run, covers on every night, and the jet serviced by the dealer on the book schedule with the stamped record to prove it. The new tubes in January were the factory-spec replacement done at the proper shop, not a patch job, and they carry their own paperwork. Hull has no dock rash because she lived on the lift and went up the moment guests stepped off. Included in the sale: Garmin chartplotter, VHF, full canvas set, lifting bridle, fenders, lines and the spares box with impeller and anodes. The mothership took delivery of a larger limo tender, which is the only reason this one is on the market. View and water test at LMC by appointment, bring your engineer. Priced against the dealer's used list with the recent spend factored in; small movement for a quick close, but it is not a fire sale.

Pair of 2024 Sea-Doo GTX 300s with Yacht Cradles
Nassau, Bahamas
Two GTX 300 Limited units, 41 and 38 hours, flushed after every run and stored under deck covers. Includes custom aluminum yacht cradles, dual lifting slings, and spare impeller kit. Selling because the boss switched to Seabobs. Both machines are 2024 Limited spec with the touring seats, depth finders and the full gauge package, bought new through the Nassau dealer with warranty cards in hand. The deck team treated them like engine-room equipment: logged hours, freshwater flush within the hour after every guest run, and covers on before sunset. Neither has ever been chartered out or beached, and the hulls are clean enough to read the mold lines. The custom cradles alone cost serious money and bolt to standard deck hardware; with the slings and the spare impeller kit you are buying a complete boat-deck package, not just two skis. Everything can be seen and water-tested at our Nassau berth, and I can arrange freight to Florida through the carrier we already use. The pair sells together. Asking price has a little room for a buyer who can close before we sail mid-July; after that they go to the dealer on consignment.

Furuno NavNet TZtouch3 16in MFD Plus DRS12A Radar
Dania Beach, South Florida
TZT16F display and DRS12A NXT radar dome removed working during a full bridge refit. Display has zero dead pixels, radar has the pedestal mount and 15m cable run included. Bench tested last week, photos of it powered up on request. The pair came off a 28m sportfish that went to a fully integrated black-glass bridge; both units were alive and tracking targets the morning we pulled them, and I personally labeled every connector during removal so reinstallation is plug-and-go rather than guesswork. The display glass is unmarked, the sun cover is included, and the software was updated to the current version during the bench test. The DRS12A is the solid-state NXT unit with Doppler target analyzer, a serious piece of kit for a boat doing real passages, and it comes with the pedestal mount, all mounting bolts and the full 15m cable so you are not chasing Furuno part numbers for missing bits. Everything is at my shop in Dania Beach where you can watch it power up before you pay; I have nothing to hide and the bench is always set up. Refit surplus pricing, roughly half of new. Firm at the number for the pair; I will not separate the radar from the display.

MTU 2000 Series Spares Lot: Injectors, Turbos, Gaskets
Palma de Mallorca
Surplus spares package from a 12V 2000 M96 repower: six remanufactured injectors in sealed crates, two turbochargers, full top-end gasket sets, and assorted sensors. All with MTU part numbers and paperwork. Located in a bonded store at STP, buyer arranges freight. The lot was ordered as the deep-spares package for an Atlantic season that never happened; the owner repowered to the newer series instead and this stock has sat untouched in bonded storage since, original crates unopened, desiccant packs still sealed. The injectors are factory remanufactured units with certificates, the turbos are new takeoffs with zero run hours, and the gasket sets cover a complete top-end job on both banks. Every line item has its MTU part number on the manifest, which I will send to any engineer who asks so you can verify against your engine serials before traveling. Inspection at STP by appointment, and the bonded status can simplify export for a non-EU boat, worth asking your agent about. Open to offers near the number and I will split the lot sensibly, injectors as a set, turbos as a pair; I will not break sealed crates to sell single gaskets.

Newport 80ft Slip, July Through Labor Day
Newport, Rhode Island
Prime walking-distance slip off Thames Street, 80ft LOA max, 6.5ft draft at MLW, 100A three-phase shore power. Owner's boat stays in the Med this season so the full summer block is available. Dockmaster approval required, no liveaboard restrictions. This is the slip people try to charm their way into every June: guests step off the boat and onto Thames Street in three minutes, yet the basin is protected enough that you are not rigging extra lines every time the ferry passes. The dock was re-decked last fall, pedestals are new, and water and high-speed Wi-Fi are included in the rate. Crew get parking passes for two vehicles, which in Newport in July is worth nearly as much as the slip. The dockmaster runs a quiet, professional dock and approves every vessel personally, so come with insurance certificates and a captain he can talk to; charter turnarounds are fine if they are run tidily. The full July-through-Labor-Day block is priced as quoted and we hold the rate firm; we would rather have one good boat all summer than relist it twice, and historically this slip is spoken for by the first week of June.

STP Palma 30m Berth Sublet, Med Season
Palma de Mallorca
30m x 7.5m berth inside the STP basin with yard access for ongoing works, available mid June through end of September. Water, 125A power, and 24h security included. Ideal for a boat finishing a refit that needs to stay alongside the contractors. Our program is heading to the eastern Med for the season, so the berth we hold on annual contract is empty all summer; the yard has approved a sublet to one vessel with proper insurance and a captain or project manager in attendance. Anyone who has tried to finish a refit from an anchorage knows what alongside-the-contractors is worth: your subcontractors walk to the boat, the crane and travel lift are a radio call away, and you are inside the security fence with the rest of the yard rather than ferrying workers by tender. The berth takes a full 30m with fenders comfortably and the power supply has run our boat, welders and chillers simultaneously without complaint. Rate is per month with water and security included, power metered at yard rates. The full mid-June to September block takes priority over partial periods, and at this number inside STP in season, it is firm. First mate can show the berth any day this month.

Crew Cabin in Shared Apartment, Old Town Antibes
Antibes
Single room in a three-crew flat two minutes from Port Vauban gate, washing machine, fast wifi, and a landlord who actually understands dock walking schedules. Month-to-month, no agency fee. Current housemates are a second engineer and a stew on neighboring boats. The room itself is the quiet one at the back of the flat, away from the street noise, with a double bed, a proper wardrobe, a desk under the window and shutters that black the room out for anyone coming off nights. The flat was repainted over the winter, the kitchen is genuinely usable, and the washing machine does not require a queue spreadsheet because there are only three of you. I have rented to yacht crew for nine years; I know what a boat show week does to your hours, I do not panic when you disappear on a three-week charter, and deposits come back in full when rooms are left as found, which they almost always are with crew. No couples in the single room, no smoking inside, and I take a reference from your chief stew or captain rather than a French employment dossier nobody dockwalking has. Viewings any evening this week; the room goes to the first solid reference, not the highest bidder, and the rent is fixed.

Delivery Berth: FLL to Palma, 34m Motor Yacht, Late June
Fort Lauderdale to Palma
34m raised pilothouse crossing via Bermuda and the Azores, departing the week of June 22. Need one experienced watchkeeper with offshore miles and STCW current. Roughly 18 days underway, food and bedding aboard, return flight from Palma covered. The boat is sound and properly prepared: fresh annual on the mains, new life raft certification, Starlink and Iridium aboard, and a full bunker plus spares load going on next week. Crew will be four including me, running a three-watch system once we clear the Stream, so you will get real rest and real wheel time rather than eighteen days of fatigue management. I want a watchkeeper who has crossed before, holds current STCW and ENG1, can stand a watch alone without drama, and knows that the engine room hourly round is part of the job, not a favor to the engineer. Bermuda and Horta stops are planned at roughly the usual intervals, weather deciding the exact timing, and I do not sail into bad windows to make a calendar happy. Day rate paid in full on arrival in Palma along with your flight home; provisions, bedding and foul weather spares are aboard. Send sea time summary and two references from captains you have actually sailed under; interviews by phone this week, berth confirmed by June 14.

Mobile Hydraulics Tech, Davits, Passerelles, Stabilizers
South Florida, will travel to Bahamas
Twenty years on yacht hydraulics: Opacmare and Besenzoni passerelles, Naiad and Quantum stabilizer plumbing, crane and davit recerts. I carry common seal kits and a flushing rig in the van so most jobs close in one visit. References from three Lauderdale management companies on request. I served my time on commercial ships before yachts, which is why my work orders read like engineering documents instead of guesses: every job gets photographed before and after, pressures recorded, and a written note on anything I saw that will fail next so your engineer can budget for it before it strands a passerelle half-extended with guests aboard. The van stocks seal kits for the common Opacmare and Besenzoni cylinders, hose-making gear, and a proper flushing rig, because contaminated fluid is behind half the failures I get called to. Crane and davit load recerts are done to the letter with certificates your insurer will accept first time. Scheduling runs about a week out in season; genuine emergencies jump the queue when I can make it happen, and Bahamas trips need two boats or one decent-sized job to make the travel sensible for everyone. Rate is firm at $145 an hour portal to portal, travel at documented cost, no minimum-hours games and no apprentice billed as a second tech.

Wanted: Teak Decking Crew for 42m, August Start
Palma de Mallorca
42m motor yacht hauled at STP needs full main deck and sundeck teak replacement, vacuum-bagged on Esthec-prepped substrate, owner wants traditional margin boards. Looking for a crew that can hold an August 10 start and finish before October sea trials. Send recent job photos and references with your quote. The old deck is already lifted and the substrate is faired and prepped, so the winning crew starts laying, not demolishing; templates from the original deck are aboard and our project manager has the substrate moisture readings ready for review. Owner specification is quarter-sawn stock in consistent color, vacuum-bagged adhesive throughout, no mechanical fasteners, and traditional margin boards with proper joggling at the hatches and bollards rather than the straight-cut shortcuts we keep seeing on otherwise good work. We have scaffolding, dust extraction and covered staging arranged through the yard, and accommodation can be organized for a traveling crew. Quotes by square meter, broken out for material and labor, with your proposed crew size and a realistic day count; a quote that shows the margin board hours honestly will beat a low number that hides them. Sea trials are booked for October and the schedule has no slack, so only crews that can genuinely commit the window should bid. Walk the deck with our PM any weekday; decision by mid-July.

Hempel and Awlgrip Refit Surplus, Fairing and Topcoat
Riviera Beach, South Florida
Leftover stock from a completed paint job: 12 sealed gallons of Awlgrip 545 primer, 8 gallons of Awlcraft 2000 in Matterhorn White, Hempel fairing compound, mixed thinners and converters, all within shelf life with batch labels intact. Also includes two DeVilbiss spray guns and a fresh-air hood. No splitting. The job this stock was bought for finished under estimate, which never happens, and the paint shed needs to be empty before our next haul-out arrives. Everything has lived in climate-controlled storage at the Riviera Beach yard since delivery, cans unopened with seals intact, and I will photograph every batch label and expiry date for anyone serious so your paint foreman can verify shelf life before driving over. The Matterhorn White is the real Awlcraft 2000 color code, not a tint-bench match, and eight gallons covers a respectable topsides job with proper overlap to spare. The two DeVilbiss guns were cleaned correctly after their last session and come with cups and spare tips; the fresh-air hood alone is several hundred dollars new and yours is in the case it shipped in. At this price the lot is roughly forty cents on the dollar against current supplier invoices, which is exactly why it sells as one lot, cash or wire, buyer collects. First person at the yard with the money takes it.

Crew Foul Weather Kit: Musto HPX and Spinlock, Sized S to XL
Newport, Rhode Island
Six complete offshore kits off a race program that disbanded after the Bermuda Race: Musto HPX smocks and salopettes, Spinlock Deckvest 6D lifejackets with 2026 service tags, and HPX boots. Two kits unworn, the rest used one season and laundered. Selling as a set to outfit a delivery or race crew in one buy. The program folded when the owner sold the boat, not because anything went wrong with the gear; the kit was bought new at the start of last season from the Newport loft and the two unworn sets belong to crew who joined late and never raced. The four used sets did one season of weeknight racing and the Bermuda run, then went through the proper technical wash and reproof before storage, so the membranes are healthy and nothing smells like a sail locker. The Deckvests carry 2026 service tags with the paperwork from the certified station, all six with sprayhoods and lights. Size run is one S, two M, two L and one XL across the kits, with boots to match each, and I will send the full size matrix so you can map it to your crew before committing. Replacement cost on this list is north of twelve thousand; at $3,900 for the set the value is obvious and the price is firm. Inspection in Newport by arrangement, or I will ship insured at your cost. Set stays together, no splitting out the unworn kits.
