OWNERâS NOTES
SAFARI⯠feels bigger than 40’ where it counts—salon, galley, and cockpit—so families aren’t on top of each other, and anglers have space to work. She’s turnkey for fall football raft-ups, leaf-peeping cruises, or hopping a weather window to chase tuna. The big jobs (electronics, enclosure, windlass, 1,000-hr services) are already done, which means you can step aboard and use the boat right away.
Private showingsâ¯inâ¯Portsmouth, RI. Trades considered.
