01 / Meet Mavis

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

I’m Mavis’s third owner. We’ve sailed her the way she was built to be sailed—and made her our home on the water.

We bought Mavis in December 2017. Since then, this Gemini has been part of eight years of life with Frank and Cindy—along the Eastern Seaboard, down the Intracoastal Waterway, and across to the Bahamas.

Now we’re opening a new chapter. For her next owner, that means a chance to meet the captain who knows her, ask the detailed questions, and understand the boat behind the photographs.

A different kind
of everyday.

Morning light through the cockpit.
A coastline passing quietly by.
Room for life beyond the dock.
