Sailing Croatia 7 Years Later

Croatia was not mad that I hadn’t visited in 7 years. In fact, she looked fantastic and welcomed me with open arms.

Getaway Yacht – Boston, Marblehead and Beyond

The Classic 49′ Motor Yacht CAROUSEL is the perfect getaway yacht from Boston to Marblehead (or vice versa) for a romantic overnight for two.  Her pretty sheer line turns heads.  With a dark blue hull and enough teak to uphold traditions, this is a modern classic with well-proven construction and 21st century comfort.
