Designed by renowned naval architect Jon Bannenberg and built in 1983, this yacht underwent a complete refit in 2008. PARAISO has five luxuriously appointed en suite guest staterooms, including a main-deck owner’s suite and a VIP stateroom on the lower deck. Lloyds-classed, she has a range of 2,500 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 11 knots. Stokes’ other new listing is Balkan 28, a 28-meter (91'10') raised pilothouse motor yacht built in 1982 by Cantieri Di Pisa. She has an interesting history, having originally been owned by the then- Communist Republic of Bulgaria for its Chairman of the State Council. Her current owner recently moved her to Turkey for a complete overhaul from the keel up. “Balkan 28 is nearing completion with a lengthened hull, all-new machinery, electronics, audio/visual, interior furnishings and more,” said Stokes. She is offered at $3.45 million. “The owner will consider all reasonable owner financing or leasing terms,” he reported.

In February, Merrigan made yacht brokerage history announcing a BUY ONE GET ONE FREE deal, for LARA and JO-JO, the 60' Tempest.

JO-JO will now be paired with PRINCESS YOLINI and offered for FREE to the lucky buyer! Both yachts are listed with Kevin Merrigan, and for a limited time, both yachts will be sold together - history will repeat itself for another remarkable deal.

With this past years spike in fuel prices, many traditional battlewagon sport fishing machines with large horsepower engines and unsightly fuel burns, spent more time dockside than fishing. Many Yachtsmen that do not fish hard core any longer, but still wish to drag bait are looking in a different direction, the Yachtfish motor yacht. The Yachtfisher is the best of both worlds. If you are looking to fish in far off fishing grounds, the Yachtfish platform affords long range and comfort, and can stay offshore on extending fishing expeditions for months at a time. Another great benefit is avoiding all those fueling stations along the way with the traditional battlewagon. Outer Reef Yachts has under construction an 86 Yachtfish for a California client and expects to deliver her in December 2009. For more information please go to www.OuterReefYachts.com or call 954-767-8305. Richard Kniffin with The Marine Group in Ft.
