This 1989 Brewer 44' sloop is a true bluewater cruiser, purpose-built for long voyages and comfortable living aboard. Known for its exceptional seaworthiness, the Brewer design is celebrated for solid construction, stability, and a gentle, sea-kindly motion, making it a trusted choice for serious cruisers. The center cockpit layout provides enhanced safety and comfort in challenging seas, while the spacious and thoughtfully designed interior is ideal for extended stays onboard.
The current owners, a couple with shared dreams of adventure, poured their hearts into preparing this vessel for a lifetime of sailing together. As you step aboard, it's easy to see the meticulous care and effort invested in its outfitting. Every detail reflects their commitment to creating the perfect liveaboard cruiser, one capable of turning any sailing dream into reality.
However, life's circumstances have changed, and a recent separation has led to the difficult decision to part with this beloved boat. While this is a bittersweet moment for the seller, it presents an extraordinary opportunity for the next owner. Over $100,000 has already been invested in upgrades and replacements, ensuring that this vessel will bring immense joy and satisfaction to whoever takes the helm next.
This sailboat is nearly complete so much so that it's almost hard to believe it's being offered for sale in its current condition. The list of new features is extensive: sails, rigging, bimini, dodger, isinglass, davits, dorades, cushions, bedding, propane system, stove, grill, 1500W solar power, a 660Ah+ battery bank, a Seawater Pro watermaker, and autopilot etc. A detailed list of all upgrades, replacements, and rebuilds is attached.
The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this boat. For instance, it features two heads, one with a composting toilet, and the other plumbed with a freshwater flush system to prevent calcification in the lines.
A few finishing touches remain, such as installing a brand-new CoolBlue refrigerator system. The seller is aware that these unfinished tasks may affect the price, but make no mistake what has already been completed is extensive and very well thought out. The seller has decided not to invest further, as the amount spent on this outfitting far exceeds what can be recovered in a sale.
This situation is a stroke of luck for the future owner, as the seller is highly motivated to part with the boat, which now serves as a reminder of heartache.
