Overview

CARMELA is HANDS-DOWN the MOST well-cared-for boat you will ever see.

So much so, you will be amused by the attention to detail this original owner has.

I personally know this boat since new, and am always pleasantly surprised when I sail with them. 

For starters, there's a shoe basket before you can even board their boat.

Grouper Anodes??  If you haven't heard of those, they are zinc anodes in the shape of a grouper fish, which are lowered into the water with a wire that is grounded to the pod drive in order to spare the zincs that are on the pod drive.  So anodes to protect the main anode. Of course there's one hanging on each side of the boat.

After every outing, Captain Ramos flushes the engine with fresh water (and generator), using a custom plumbing connection he made.

If he turns on the A/C, there are plumbing connections to flush those systems too!

I can go on and on, but you need to see CARMELA to believe it!

Notable features:
  In-mast furling
  Shoal draft keel
  ICW friendly 64' Bridge Clearance.
  4200 W ECO-flow Lithium power supply for up to 14 hours of silent electrical power.

Descriptions

This vessel was imported by the Florida Beneteau Dealer, paying Customs Duty of 1.5% when it was imported to sell in 2014.

Not to be confused with Sales Tax!

A Buyer will be responsible for paying 6% Florida Sales Tax (capped at $18,000.00) if they choose to keep the vessel in Florida.
Florida Sales Tax is not due if the Buyer chooses to cruise out of Florida.  A 90-day or 180-day Tax Exemption sticker can be obtained until the vessel departs US Waters.

Welcome aboard as you enter CARMELA from the cockpit!

Between the cockpit settees with cushions, and the convertible aft bench that also unfolds and doubles as a spacious swim platform, you can easily sit 11 people alfresco.

Time to eat? The full galley assisted by the propane outdoor grill makes entertaining a breeze.

A full-length bimini and dodger offer shade and protection.

A generous cockpit table can serve 6.

Speaking of the swim platform, you also have a swim ladder and a hot & cold swim shower.

A Stainless Steel arch holds the 10' AB Dinghy suspended, and an outboard engine bracket completes the aft features of this wonderfully maintained vessel.
