Re: Best live aboard power flybridge cruiser

Thanks 30West, it is a lovely cruiser, but we will need easier access to and from the water because we'll be doing a lot of scuba diving. It does have a lot of beautiful features though. American...

Re: Best live aboard power flybridge cruiser

Thanks John, I hear you - and also downunder's original suggestion.

We're now looking at sailboats again after discussing how quickly we may eat through our savings if we do buy a power boat. ...

Re: Best live aboard power flybridge cruiser

Okay, thanks for all suggestions - and cruise-a-home is a whole new avenue we've not considered, mainly because we didn't think that type of vessel would handle in anything but flat water, from the...

Re: Best live aboard power flybridge cruiser
