Last Dance - 1976 DeFever 40 Passagemaker - Stabilized


Last Dance is a much newer boat than the manufacturing date would suggest. She has had major systems replaced and updated, including main engines, generator, air conditioners, electronics, sanitary system, and has had the interior updated. She may be the smallest boat equipped with Naiad stabilizers and is the lowest priced stabilized boat on the market.

The owners will be cruising on Last Dance summer 2019, from the Erie Canal in New York, down east coast to Florida and her hailing port. Current location is listed below right. Contact us for more information.

Great Loop and Maine Coast Veteran

After completing the America's Great Loop 2011 - 2012, Last Dance began the Loop again, a multi year trip. Two summers along the Maine coast and 6 summers in the Canadian Great Lakes, have proven this craft to be most capable of taking her crew safely to any waters. Her adventures along the waterways are documented in two blogs, linked in the right-hand column. New adventures on land have the current owners placing Last Dance on the market so that she may continue what she does best - making adventures on the water enjoyable and safe.

V-Berth



The forward v-berth has two 78-inch long bunks with storage drawers and cabinets underneath.  A unique feature was designed over the bunks.  Most v-berth layouts have the interior walls following the flare of the hull, giving a much wider, but useless space above.  Last Dance has verticle walls with storage cubbies, providing a great amount of storage.

Note the heavy duty stainless steel port light.  The v-berth and aft cabin both have stainless steel ports, replaced in 1995, for ventilation.





The forward berth has its own head with a large storage cabinet and a freshwater Raritan Marine Elegance toilet  - simple, powerful, attractive, and low water use.
