We also have one of the largest charter operations anywhere. John and Captain David Cunningham head up Florida Yacht Charter & Sales St. Pete location located at the Regatta Point Marina in Palmetto. At the Ft Myers boat show these guys had a real show stopper with the Imexus 29' power sailer. We were at the Ft. Myers show to offer people the best of both worlds. Now our customers have a choice. This new boat is said to be totally unique in its class in offering excellent performance under sail with powerboat performance when the engine takes over. Gone are the days of struggling back to port against the tide with inadequate power. The Imexus has all the power and hull design needed to sit back and enjoy the ride at a screaming 22 mph. Rigged out with a 90 HP Tohatsu this sailing yacht is a pleasure to handle. Coming soon we will have a 120 hp Cummins diesel engine for even more flexibility.
The exceptional design makes the yacht a joy to sail offering all the advantages of a traditional 29' sailing cruiser, economy, peaceful passage making and comfortable interior design and layout, while no compromise is made when the sails come down and speed and maneuverability are needed. The hull design, coupled with an advanced water ballast system, allows the boat to move beyond the 5/6 knot hull speed of standard yachts of this size and reach a plane. During this process the water ballast is ejected, making the boat lighter and faster. The interior is tastefully designed with solid oak trim and luxury soft furnishings with all the facilities required for comfortable weekends afloat. All current yachts in the Imexus fleet can be easily loaded and launched from a trailer on a convenient boat ramp. With its simple mast lift and lower system the boat can be transported from home to any favorite sailing water with ease.
We invite everyone to take a little time out and come over and spend some time just looking around and if a new boat is not in the picture one of our professional brokers will help you find the perfect boat for your budget. If you already have a boat, we willingly accept trade-ins. If you want to sell your boat just give us a call and we will help you with every detail. Charters available in St. Pete, Miami, Key West and the Bahamas.
