Paoti Vahine is hull number 88 and was built expressly for Ms. Delores Del Rio, the movie actress, with many custom features. Unfortunately, Ms. Del Rio could not import the vessel to Mexico at which time a second owner purchased her, shipped her to Florida and cruised the Caribbean, She was then purchased by the present owners and was sailed on the Chesapeake Bay for about eight years until they began full time live aboard cruising in the Caribbean for over ten years. She was undergoing a refit for about the last eight years but we are no longer able to complete the project and she now needs much work.

She has proven herself as a comfortable cruising yacht on both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts.

Reasonable offer accepted.
