Jodi: “I had such a sense of freedom and peaceful living aboard At Last From the moment I stepped aboard. I knew this was our boat. Every weekend I would hate going back to our own house and found I preferred being aboard her. The master suite is so large and comfortable making it my dream space for naps. Sitting up in the large cockpit and enjoying company has always been a favorite.”
Steve: “We picked the boat due to its large living space and storage enough for our 5 kids. Rasing the children with the boat brought our family together as we had many adventures. Family dynamics change when underway as we all had to depend on each other. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being a steward for this vessel as well as the surprising quality of people we’ve met. After the kids grew and moved on with their lives, we sold the big house and moved onto the boat. We’ve lived aboard for 12 years and are now ready to pass this journey to someone new. We’ve loved our life with her and would like to see the journey continue with a new family.”
