Builders Remarks of the Day (1994):

Exquisite details, luxurious interior, and efficient hull design only begin to describe the impeccable Beneteau 510. Beneteau’s flag ship of that era. Constructed to the meticulous Beneteau standards of excellence, the Beneteau 510 is for those who demand the best on land and on sea.

 

Broker Comments:

123 Relax was purchased by her current owner, via us back in 2008 and since, her owners have invested extensively. The re-fit they have done is truly quite remarkable and every credit is to be given their way. From her hull and deck, standing rigging, canvas, dingy and outboard, to her interior wood throughout, even the white vinyl, is to be seen. Truly a ‘special’ Beneteau M510 from this era.

34' Pacific Seacraft 2001

Strong and Safe Cruiser, Beautiful

Asking $148,900

In beautiful condition, except her exterior gel-coat has faded badly. A local contractor has taken some wet-sand paper and compound tot he hull and it restores beautifully to like new- as soon as he has down the whole exterior I will post new photos - so she is soon again to be a beautiful rich glossy dark green. Interior in excellent condition, mechanically and structurally sound and ready to sail.

45' Beneteau First 456, 3 Cabin, 1984

Fast, Powerful and Classic Beneteau

Asking $90,000

 

Always in private ownership by the same couple since new, the love and attention lavished on this boat has her showing better than most much younger boats here. About one year ago she was purchased by a young German man, who sailed her enthusiastically with his new wife, but has now retired ashore to raise a family and thus the boat must go. They addressed any outstanding issues form the previous survey such as installed a new bow pulpit, upgraded running rigging and wiring, and added necessary safety gear.


A very nice sailing hull coupled with a tall and powerful rig make a fun and safe boat for cruising. The interior layout originally with a mind to offshore passages has great sea berths, good storage and a ergonomic galley too. A big cockpit makes a great hang out spot too.

Lying in the ABC Islands, this boat which is priced to sell very fast especially given her very nice condition. You will be impressed! Contact Brian today for a viewing at

28' Seaborne Tournament 280, 2008, Twin Mercury 200 HP ea. Outboard Engines
Asking $ 59,000

The Seaborne Tournament 280 is a serious offshore worthy runabout ideally suited to use in our choppy Caribbean waters. A deep 'V' hullform with heavy bulkhead and stringer reinforcement and a fully bonded hull to deck joint make no only for a boat you can reliably run hard and fast, BUT ALSO for a boat which is quiet, free of vibration and creaking even on more benign days. Speeds of over 50kts, ability to run on a single engine but still plane efficiently, and sound construction combine to make a practical and safe boat to enjoy here in the Caribbean.

In excellent condition, located on Virgin Gorda and available for purchase immediately - this vessel merits careful consideration for those that want to make the most of the lifestyle offered by the BVI. Living on any of these Caribbean islands, you do yourself a disservice if you don't have a runabout to get from there to here, and to fully enjoy this life.

Inquire now, the purchase process is simple, and tax free, you could be out on the water in very short order!  Contact Brian Duff today here at BVI Yacht Sales, at brian@bviyachtsales.com to get a viewing on this boat!!

The Tale of Threesomes....

Having purchased “Dionysus” through BVI Yacht Sales in early 2012,  I must say, it’s fun trying to  live up to the reputation of the Son of mythological Greek Gods.  So far I can honestly report in threesomes:  Three months of ownership;  three dinner parties;  three shroud replacements; three pump replacements, three line compensators;  three times actually sailing and of course three requests from family afar to go on an extended week long vacation.  The boat is far more seaworthy than her Owner, however it gives time for boat and the sailor-in-me to achieve a Vulcan mind meld.  I was warned of having to sink thousands into a boat, of which I am sure can and may be the case, but for now,  any money spent is mostly out of personal gratification which is a choice rather than a necessity.  Seeing as June is almost over,  my daily prayers are thankful for the usual three, family, friends and health, with another dimension called Hurricane guardianship added to the prayer list.  So for me the journey into boat ownership was and continues to be about the people around me that make up a team.  I feel the friends I’ve made at BVI Yacht Sales will be there in the future, as much as they have been there along the journey.

NEW TESTIMONIAL JUST IN...

BVI Yacht Sales did an amazing job in helping me purchase my Beneteau 473 "Two Moons" in the Caribbean, especially given I was new to the whole boat buying game and that I was purchasing from Australia. They fostered a great relationship between the broker, myself and the seller - who I ended up meeting in person. Following the sale, Brian Duff was completely hands on in helping prepare the boat in only a matter of weeks for the Caribbean 1500 as well as an Atlantic crossing.

Brian provided an excellent level of knowledge and helped me out whenever needed, from assisting to get the boat to Bermuda, finding a skipper on short notice and helping organize spare parts when I was on the other side of the world in the Mediterranean.

Karen Simpson was also invaluable as she helped arrange fast and effortless transfer papers, dealing directly with the Australian registration office to get things organized.

After the great adventure, I had no hesitation in having BVI Yacht Sales and Brian in particular take care of the re-sale of my boat.

After the transfer, the sale proceeds were left in escrow with BVI Yacht Sales, for quite a period of time in fact, which reflects the degree of comfort I have in the folks at BVI Yacht Sales. I have no problem endorsing Brian Duff and Karen Simpson of BVI Yacht Sales and fully commend their helpfulness and professionalism.
