60' Custom Dutch Built 60 Custom Center Cockpit

Magic Carpet has recently completed a three year cruise from San Diego to the Chesapeake Bay. She is a high quality Custom Yacht built in Holland by an American designer for a private owner. She has never been chartered and after crossing the Atlantic and transiting the Panama Canal in 1986 has spent the balance of her time cruising the west coast for two subsequent owners. Many improvements have been made over the years and she is in cruise ready condition. If you are looking for adventure on a true Bluewater Cruiser that can take you safely and comfortably anywhere in the world, make a plan to see this boat. Yachts are not made like Magic Carpet anymore, so called bluewater modern boats are built to minimum less expensive construction and quality. Dont get knocked around in rough seas and high winds on a lesser boat. Magic Carpet checks all the boxes and is a special boat. Its a lot of fun to have a special boat that attracts other boats to sail past or is visited by dinghy or paddle board to admire and guess the Manufacturer. No one can identify her but all make positive comments. She is reluctantly on the market and looking for a serious cruiser that will be her next caretaker and adventurer.
True Bluewater Boat

Class A designation promoted by Production Boat manufactures is just the minimum, just the beginning of the true requirements for a safe comfortable ocean passage machine. 12-foot Seas and 35 to 40 Knots of wind will qualify for this Classification. Thats not enough for anyone looking to travel the coasts and oceans to adventure travel the world. Very few boats made in the last 20 years have the necessary Bluewater aspects unless you go to a high quality, extremely expensive custom yacht. So-called modern design cruisers are now made to be lighter, faster, and less expensive. This is because that is what will be accepted by the common local vacationer, charterer, and racer. Unfortunately, they are less safe, and less comfortable for Ocean passages.
