Yacht Description
Refit-ready classic. SKY is a 118ft Broward Marine raised pilothouse motor yacht, built in 1995 and extensively refitted in 2025, with the sort of layout that still makes sense for real charter weeks.
Stability underway. She cruises at 14 knots and has stabilisers underway, which means less bracing and more actually using the decks while you move between anchorages.
Family-proof cabins. SKY sleeps 8 guests in 4 cabins, led by a full-beam master with his-and-hers bathrooms. The convertible twin (with a Pullman) gives you options when the group mix is not perfectly symmetrical.
Water time, sorted. A 17' AB inflatable tender handles the logistics, while 2 Sea-Doo Jet-Skis, 2 electric Flite boards, a wakeboard, snorkel gear, and inflatable toys (including a cabana island with canopy) keep the day busy. No complicated planning required.
