The ONLY 48 Salina on the market in the USA! This 2008 Fountaine Pajot Salina 48, SUNBELIEVABLE, is in fantastic condition. Both prior owners were avid sailors and meticulous about maintenance. This pristine yacht has never been chartered.
She is a 4-stateroom/4-head (bath), blue-water-ready boat with a watermaker, StarLink, new solar panels, and all new navigation equipment including radar. She is rigged with a bow sprit and winches for her asymmetrical spinnaker for increased downwind performance.
In October 2024 she endured a power surge, most likely a proximity lightning strike, which damaged much of her electronics. The entire electrical system has been professionally inspected, and all of the electronic equipment has been replaced, including the refrigerators and chiller control panel. The owner was highly involved in overseeing the refurbishment of the vessel and has gone above-and-beyond in making sure that SUNBELIEVABLE is turn-key and in amazing condition. The bottom has been recently painted, saildrives serviced, and all gelcoat blisters repaired. You wont find another one like this!
SUNBELIEVABLE is located in Fort Lauderdale, FL, where she is easy to access and show.
