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.

Dinghy

When at anchor, transportation is required from the main boat to desired locations.  Stored on the aft deck, hoisted and retrieved by the boom and mast. an 8.5' Achilles high-pressure floor inflatable dinghy serves those transportation needs.  It is powered by a 4 hp, 4-stroke Yahama, capable of planning with one person and moving 4 people at displacement speed.

It also serves as a fishing boat.
