Vessel History
The previous owners sailed the Floridian Coast and the farthest voyage took them to Trinidad and Tobago. Our current owners purchased Osprey in 2004 in Punta Gorda Florida and have cruised her regularly since. Jerel and his wife have adventured to the Dry Tortugas, KeyWest, Florida Keys, North to Fort Pierce, Northern Bahamas, Marsh Harbor, Bimini to Nassau from Frazers Hog, Shroud Cay and as far South as Georgetown, Exumas. They have lovingly and successfully completed 4 trips to the Bahamas in their time aboard and are saddened to hang up their wets! Time marches on for us all so take this opportunity and come over to Charlotte Boat Storage and inspect this lovely liveaboard sailboat.
