Description
If you were to walk down a dock full of large catamarans, the Dean would stand out with its overly raked mast and unique aerodynamic styling hull shape. Beautifully fitted out in high gloss cherry throughout she oozes comfort and warmth. 4 cabins with in-suites and bathrooms a plenty ensure comfort at sea is a given. With a very well thought out large aft deck she is comfortable for entertaining or on the high seas.
A well-loved and expertly maintained Dean. She has completed several voyages across the Atlantic and cruised the Caribbean down to South America. Over the years she has completed at least 14 round trip ICW voyages from Southern New England to the Florida Keys including offshore passages with Bahamas cruising.

Based out of Marathon in the Heart of the Florida Keys, Daryl has been sailing all types of boats since he was 6. Yes, that was 51 years ago. He has seen a lot and done a lot. He enjoys sailing, fishing and snorkeling. A pure for love for boats and all things boating, Daryl will bring tremendous amounts of energy and dedication to providing you with the top-notch boat buying or selling that you deserve. He has 4 beautiful granddaughters that he loves with all his might and simply cannot wait for them to get a little bigger so they can all go sailing together. Fun fact - Darylâs dad, although an excellent captain, was not the best navigator and taught Daryl very early on how to navigate. Right before Daryl took over the duties completely, they were motoring down a narrow canal in south Louisiana with nice houses on both sides. All was going great until all of a sudden, the bow began to rise and rise until it came back down with a mighty splash. Dad had not read his 20-year-old chart (eons before electronic ones) and BAMM they had knocked out the power to dozens or more of expensive homes with families out having their Sunday BBQâs. Well, they never blinkedâthey just turned and ran as fast as the little two cylinder would run.
