WATERMAKER • STAND-UP ENGINE ROOM • EXCEPTIONAL
STORAGE • EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION
Two-By-Two represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly
documented, extensively upgraded cruising yacht with a proven
cruising pedigree. Previous owners successfully completed the Great
Loop, while current owners continued her cruising legacy with
voyages throughout the Bahamas. Along the way, the vessel has
accumulated extensive experience navigating the Intracoastal
Waterway and Florida Keys, demonstrating the capability, comfort,
and reliability that long-range cruisers value most.
Designed not only for travel but also for comfortable living aboard,
Two-By-Two combines proven capability with the practical features
long-term cruisers value most, including walkaround decks, a
flybridge, stand-up engine room, climate-controlled pantry, walk-in
closet, extensive storage, and modernized onboard systems.
Designed not only for cruising but for comfortable living aboard,
Two-By-Two offers a unique combination of features rarely found
together in a vessel of this size and price range. Buyers considering
premium cruising yachts and passagemakers will immediately
appreciate the thoughtful design, extensive upgrades, practical
systems, and owner-focused features that make this vessel stand
apart.
Few vessels in today's market combine Dockmate remote docking,
true walkaround decks, a flybridge, heated and air-conditioned pantry,
walk-in closet, stand-up walk-in engine room, complete Victron power
management with solar, stabilizers, extensive documentation, and
significant recent upgrades into a single cruising platform.
DESIGNED FOR REAL CRUISING AND COMFORTABLE
LIVING
What immediately separates Two-By-Two from many comparable
cruising yachts is how comfortably she lives aboard.
Features that owners and guests appreciate include:
• Dockmate wireless remote docking system allowing the vessel to be
maneuvered from virtually anywhere onboard, including while
standing on the deck. For many cruising couples, the Dockmate
system dramatically reduces docking stress and makes handling a
vessel of this size easier and more enjoyable.
• True walkaround decks for safe docking, anchoring, and line
handling
• Large heated and air-conditioned pantry ideal for extended cruising
and provisioning
• Walk-in closet space rarely found in vessels of this size
• Large refrigerator and freezer, plus an additional Dometic chest
refrigerator/freezer located in the pantry
• Exceptional storage capacity throughout the vessel
• Spacious flybridge providing excellent visibility, entertaining space,
and outdoor enjoyment
• Enclosed pilothouse for comfortable all-weather cruising
• Spacious interior layout designed for long-term cruising comfort
• Watermaker and solar systems that support extended self-sufficient
anchoring
These are the features that become increasingly valuable after weeks,
months, and years of ownership.
THE ENGINE ROOM CRUISERS DREAM ABOUT
One of the most appreciated features aboard Two-By-Two is the
stand-up walk-in engine room.
Unlike many vessels where routine maintenance requires crawling
through tight access hatches, this engine room provides comfortable
access to machinery, systems, generators, pumps, filters, stabilizers,
plumbing, and service points. Routine inspections and maintenance
tasks become dramatically easier and more enjoyable.
For owners who perform their own maintenance-or simply
appreciate easy service access-this feature alone sets Two-By-Two
apart from many comparable vessels.
DESIGNED TO BE MAINTAINED
Two-By-Two was designed with serviceability in mind.
Unlike many vessels, where maintenance often requires awkward
access or the dismantling of surrounding components, Two-By-Two
was designed with serviceability in mind. Owners can comfortably
reach and maintain critical systems throughout the vessel.
Unlike many cruising yachts, where routine maintenance can become
a challenge, pumps, plumbing, stabilizers, strainers, watermakers,
and mechanical systems are readily accessible through generously
sized access panels and service areas.
This vessel conveys an extensive inventory of spare parts
accumulated by meticulous owners over many years. This inventory
includes spare alternators, starter components, strainers, pumps, and
numerous maintenance items that can be difficult to source while
cruising.
For serious cruisers, this level of preparation provides confidence
and peace of mind.
EXTERIOR CONDITION
Approximately three years ago, the vessel received a complete
professional Awlgrip paint application, representing a six-figure
investment by the previous owner. The finish continues to present
exceptionally well today, giving the vessel a clean, modern
appearance while making routine washing and maintenance
remarkably easy.
The result is a yacht that presents exceptionally well, remains easy to
clean, and continues to show beautifully today.
RECENT IMPROVEMENTS
The current owners have continued a tradition of exceptional
ownership and have invested significantly in modernization,
reliability, comfort, and cruising capability.
Highlights include:
• Complete Victron power management system with inverter,
charging, monitoring, and solar integration
• Cerbo GX monitoring and system integration
• SmartSolar MPPT installation
• Generator auto-start capability
• Automatic transfer switching
• New 2026 carbon battery bank offering improved performance over traditional AGM batteries
• Rebuilt Sea Recovery watermaker with new membranes and major service completed during current ownership
• Custom Sunbrella enclosure package
• New Bimini top
• Recovered and refurbished helm seating
• Dinghy Butler upgrade
• Premium Tommy Bahama Ocean Breeze Promenade saloon furniture package
• Numerous additional maintenance and comfort improvements
The current owners have invested well over $50,000 in upgrades,
modernization, furnishings, maintenance, and documented
improvements during their ownership.
SELF-SUFFICIENT CRUISING
Combined with the Victron power management system, solar
charging capability, carbon battery bank, Sea Recovery watermaker,
generator auto-start functionality, and extensive spare parts
inventory, Two-By-Two is exceptionally well equipped for extended
anchoring and self-sufficient cruising.
Whether exploring the Great Loop, the Bahamas, or extended coastal
cruising destinations, the vessel is designed to remain comfortable
and independent away from the dock.
PROVEN CRUISING PEDIGREE
Two-By-Two is not simply designed for adventure-she has already
proven herself in some of North America's most desirable cruising
destinations.
Previous owners successfully completed the Great Loop aboard this
vessel, while the current owners continued her cruising legacy with
voyages throughout the Bahamas. Along the way, Two-By-Two has
accumulated extensive experience navigating the Intracoastal
Waterway and Florida Keys, demonstrating the capability, comfort,
and reliability serious cruisers seek.
This real-world cruising history speaks to the yacht's suitability for
extended cruising, liveaboard adventures, and self-sufficient
exploration.
For prospective owners considering the Great Loop, Bahamas
cruising, seasonal coastal adventures, or extended liveaboard travel,
Two-By-Two offers the confidence that comes from a vessel with an
established cruising pedigree rather than one that has spent its life
tied to a dock.
CRUISE-READY CONDITION
Two-By-Two is not a project boat awaiting deferred maintenance.
She is an actively cruised and enjoyed yacht that has benefited from
continuous care, ongoing upgrades, and proactive maintenance.
The owners have scheduled professional bottom service, bottom
paint, and paint touch-up work prior to sale, representing an
additional investment of more than $7,000.
Combined with extensive maintenance records, documented
upgrades, spare parts inventory, and conscientious ownership,
Two-By-Two offers the next owner an uncommon opportunity to step
aboard and begin cruising immediately.

EXCEPTIONAL DOCUMENTATION
Few vessels on today's brokerage market offer the level of
documentation accompanying Two-By-Two.
Previous owners were engineers who maintained extensive service
records, manuals, upgrade histories, technical drawings,
maintenance documentation, and spare parts inventories.
The vessel conveys with more than ten binders of records
accumulated through years of conscientious ownership and care.
For the next owner, this level of documentation provides an
uncommon degree of transparency, confidence, and insight into the
vessel's systems, maintenance history, and overall care.
SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS
A professional marine survey completed in February 2025 described
the vessel as being in above-average condition for her age and
construction and suitable for inland, near-coastal, and offshore
operation.
Importantly, the survey was completed prior to many of the
improvements made by the current owners, including the complete
Victron modernization, rebuilt watermaker, custom enclosure
package, premium furnishings, carbon battery upgrade, and
numerous additional improvements documented through receipts and
service records.

Two-By-Two has exceeded expectations as a cruising yacht.

schedules have changed, leaving them with less time to cruise than
originally planned.
If their cruising plans had not changed, Two-By-Two would not be
leaving the family.
She has been actively enjoyed, continuously upgraded, and carefully
maintained throughout their ownership.
For buyers seeking a capable cruising yacht with outstanding
livability, extensive documentation, self-sufficient cruising capability,
significant recent upgrades, and exceptional value, Two-By-Two
