Last Dance has new Owners and is continuing her journeys making memories.
Last Dance is a 1976 DeFever Passagemaker 40, built in California. Arthur DeFever was the first naval architect to design powerboats capable of offshore, blue water cruising. His designs were based on his successful Tuna fishing trawlers that fished the Pacific waters. Members of his San Diego yacht club encouraged him to design boats capable of taking them along the Pacific coast to Mexico and Alaska. They proved to be most successful and his designs were often copied and other naval architects began to develop boats with blue water capabilities.
Last Dance has been owned by her current crew for 20 years. She has completed many trips to the Bahamas, the Great Loop, two cruises to the Maine coast, and spent 6 summers in the Canadian waters of the northern Great Lakes. She is a capable vessel and one whose beauty and salty lines inspire many admiring comments of those walking the docks where she is moored.
She is currently underway, launched in Brewerton, NY, beginning a journey south on June 1st. Her plans for the summer are to travel south along the U.S. east coast, returning to her home port in St. Augustine, Florida. Current position will be updated in the box on the right-hand column. She can be seen anywhere along that route and is available for sale at any time. Until the next crew finds her and takes her on new journeys, the current crew will continue to enjoy beautiful waters from her decks and flybridge.
