01 / Meet Mavis

Some boats have a logbook.
This one has a life.

I’m Mavis’s third master. We’ve sailed her the way she was built to be sailed—on coastal passages and island adventures.

We bought Mavis in December 2017. Our home is on Long Island, and she has been our cruising vessel for journeys along the Eastern Seaboard, down the Intracoastal Waterway, and across to the Bahamas.

Our first season south was a seven-month cruise. Since then, Mavis has carried us through seasonal voyages to Florida and the Bahamas, along with summers in our Long Island home waters.

Now we’re opening a new chapter. Meet the captain who knows her, ask the detailed questions, and understand the boat behind the photographs.

Without a broker getting in the way. Captain to captain. Just one captain handing the helm to the next.
