Description
Panther is purpose designed as a shallow draft cruiser to be easily managed by a single individual, couple, or small family in search of cruising adventures and day excursions in waters not readily available to most cruising boats of her size.
To this point, Panther under the command of her owner / designer / builder has circumnavigated South Florida via the Florida Keys, Everglades, Lake Okeechobee and ICW. Under the same single-handed command, Panther has cruised the entire US East Coast from Florida to Maine by way of offshore passages and transit of the Intracoastal Waterway.
During the above mentioned expeditions Panther was frequently in off-shore unprotected waters run in 2- to 3-foot seas and 5- to 15-knot winds where she performed beautifully and when conditions became less advantageous Panther’s extreme shoal draft capabilities and low bridge clearance height (9’) allowed her to be run uninterrupted at speed in protected (sometimes shoal) waters where most cruising power boats would fear to tread. Not everybody has time for long distance cruising and if for Panther’s next owners time aboard is limited she is sold with a rugged double-axle (Five Star) trailer that allows her to cruise at 60 knots along the highway and scoot down little used back roads to be launched wherever her owners decide to explore be it deep water, shoals and banks, salt water or fresh.
Offered at a very reasonable price, Panther is seriously for sale. Call us to arrange a viewing and see Panther for yourself.

Melanie earned her US Coast Guard 100 Ton Master Captains’ License before she got her drivers’ license. She grew up living aboard her family’s 47’ GulfStar Sailmaster, cruising up and down the East Coast and through the Bahamas for nearly twenty years. Melanie captained and crewed on various boats while working her way through college, then bought and lived aboard her first sailboat, Short Story, a 1969 Columbia 28, while attending graduate school in North Miami. She’s owned many boats since then. She is also an author (her books include memoirs Boat Girl and Boat Kid), contributor to Cruising World (her Short Story column ran in the magazine from 2006 to 2009) and BoatUS magazines, a freelance editor, and has worked over the years as everything from boat detailer to college professor to educational administrator. Her father, maritime author Tom Neale, instilled in her a love of sailing, writing, perusing boat listings, hard work, and repairing marine diesel engines. Melanie currently cruises the local waters of St. Augustine, FL, on various boats with her daughter, Maryann. She is a solo sailor and full-time single parent. As Employing Broker for Sunshine Cruising Yachts LLC, Melanie is dedicated to building a strong team that embodies integrity and passion for matching people with the right boats.
