Description

Seayonce is a customized 1987 Ericson 32-3 shoal draft sloop, built for adventure and self-sufficiency. Designed for comfortable, safe, and easy cruising, she’s perfect for exploring the Florida Keys, Bahamas, and Caribbean. Purpose-built for off-grid living, she’s ready to take on weeks of island hopping from one remote anchorage to the next.

Equipped with everything needed for independent cruising—plenty of solar power, a watermaker, inverter, dive compressor, fridge/freezer, Starlink, and a large lithium house bank. Proven as a reliable and seaworthy vessel, she has successfully sailed from the Texas Gulf Coast to the north coast of the Dominican Republic.

For those seeking the freedom to explore remote places while living simply, Seayonce is a capable island-hopper with the range for extended cruising and multi-day offshore passages when properly prepared.

Currently located in St. Thomas, USVI—an easy and affordable place to visit in a safe and welcoming part of the Caribbean. Ready to set sail and take on the next adventure.
