Story Seeker Description by Owner
I am Story Seeker, your perfect cruising sailboat, a 1993 Beneteau 445. I'll carry you in comfort and safety anywhere you want to point me. I've been cruising with my current owners in the waters of Mexico for the past several years. I store 1200 amp-hours of power in my batteries, and recharge them constantly with solar panels and wind generator. I carry plenty of fuel and water, plus I sport a 20 GPH water-maker. I've got two full berths and heads, plus a well-appointed office with built-in mahogany work table and book case. I've got a swim platform with ladder, snorkel gear storage and fresh water shower just waiting for you to slip into the turquoise water and enjoy the coral and undersea life. If you tail a trolling line behind me, we can have fresh sushi or fish-steaks tonight when we hook into a tuna, wahoo or dorado (mahi-mahi). And at the end of the day, enjoy a margarita with up to six of your friends in my capacious, shaded cockpit, or gather round my salon table in inclement weather. Check out my gear in the "details" section of my listing, and you'll see that I'm fully loaded, and just waiting for you to join me in the prime cruising grounds of Pacific Mexico and Baja. Call my yacht broker today, then come on down and see me.
