Overview

Ticket To is a beautiful Sparkman and Stephens designed cutter built by Queen Long Marine, well known for their excellent Hylas Yachts. The yachts were overseen by Bill Stevens and are well known for their sea kindliness, comfort, and speed.

Ticket To features a 3 stateroom, 2 head interior layout with a below deck steering station, well-designed galley, and comfortable seating around a teak dining table. The interior joinery work is in impeccable condition

Powered by a powerful cutter rig under sail or a 77 hp Yanmar diesel engine, she excels in any weather conditions.

One of the best features of the boat is the 180-degree shatterproof quartz windows that give good visibility from down below and a wealth of interior lighting.

She has been very well maintained by an experienced owner with constant upgrades during his 15-year ownership.

These include a recent topnotch  awl grip paint job on both the hull and the deck and cabin top. 

Watermaker, dual autopilots, total cockpit enclosure, air conditioning, dinghy, and outboard are also upgrades

January 2024 - removed mast deck colar, fully inspected deck area, and installed Custom water-proof New seal around the Mast.

 Ticket To is fully equipped and ready to go where ever your cruising dreams want to take you!

Owner's Comments

My wife and I have had the pleasure of owning Ticket to ... since 2009.  She has provided us with a safe, comfortable, and easy-to-sail vessel for the two of us.  We have been making memories of entertaining family and friends on the open ocean and local cruising voyages for years.  Our primary cruising grounds are the Florida Keys and the Bahamas, although Ticket to... could clearly take you anywhere in the world.  She is our ticket to where ever we want to go - this is the name.... She is in pristine condition, always maintained to high standards, and attracts attention at the dock or in an anchorage.  We will always remember our ownership in a positive way that provided us with growth in our sailing/yachting experience
