She's been a great lady, the perfect hostess; beautiful, yet strong. She's offered her guests both fun and adventure! Now it's time for "Silent Joy", our Pearson 424 Ketch, to offer her owners a retirement home afloat! After 15 years in our fleet, Dick and Pat Corlett of California plan to go cruising! SFY will still be "home" to this classic ketch, but "Silent Joy" will no longer be offered for charter. Dick and Pat plan to cruise aboard the boat part of the year and "cruise" in their motor home on land part of the year. When people ask us why people put boats in our fleet, the Corlett's are a perfect example. They had their "dream" boat, but weren't able to use her while they were working, except during their 1-2 week vacations every year or so. And they didn't want to sell the boat, as it would have cost twice as much to replace the boat today! For 15 years, the charter checks helped cover the costs and now they have a beautiful yacht in which they can enjoy their retirement! Happy Sailing, Dick & Pat!

The Perfect "Floating" Retirement Plan
Whether you are two or ten years away from retirement, why not consider purchasing your dream boat now. The cost of buying a yacht is only going to increase in the years to come. Furthermore, you can plan to pay off the boat during your working years while the charter revenue helps cover the cost of maintaining and upgrading the vessel. Under SFY Management your investment will be protected and, come retirement time, you'll have a lovely yacht to enjoy.
