Owners Comments and Boat History
Sek-Sek is a privately owned and well-maintained vessel that has benefited from extensive upgrading and thoughtful cruising improvements. The previous owner completed a comprehensive refit of the yacht’s electrical and power management systems, along with a full refurbishment of the engine and sail-drive. The vessel was specifically outfitted to support comfortable and reliable Caribbean cruising.
The current owners purchased Sek-Sek for a one-year sabbatical after recognizing the value of her extensive upgrades and cruising readiness. All major systems had already been overhauled and carefully maintained, making her exceptionally well prepared for extended time aboard.
Sek-Sek is a safe and comfortable offshore cruising platform with excellent protection from the elements thanks to her full sprayhood, bimini, and extensive solar coverage. The spacious interior offers generous headroom, practical storage, and a highly livable layout for couples or families cruising long term.
Launched from Trinidad in December 2025, Sek-Sek safely sailed to the BVI with a family aboard and is currently cruising the Caribbean. She is actively maintained and ready for her next owners to step aboard and continue exploring.
Sek-Sek will remain actively cruising throughout 2026 and inspections are welcomed while underway in her natural environment. Test sails can be easily arranged for committed purchasers with conditional deposit offers in place. Possession available November 2026.
