SY Baybreeze - Owners Comment
Baybreeze has been a comfortable home and provided safe passages in the UK, Europe, across the Atlantic Ocean and in the Caribbean this season.
Baybreeze has been in our ownership since 2020 and we have introduced many upgrades to prepare her for both short and long distant cruising.
She is a very capable vessel, easy to sail short handed, but with sufficient room to entertain guests. Additionally, Baybreeze has ample storage for a liveaboard lifestyle.
We’ve truly enjoyed our time in her company and hope she provides many adventures for her new owners.
