Please check my feedback over the past 14 years, and purchase with confidence!Now that the above is understood, we invite you to cruise the Bahamas on a budget! S/V PROMISE has 6 owners who love and care for her as their very own. Each partner has at least 2 months' use annually -- more if other partners use less. For $5,500 you receive much more than a boat -- you become a member of a congenial group of dedicated professionals who love cruising but don't care to spend a fortune. Two of us live in Canada, one in Maine, one in Ohio, and two in Florida. Three of us are retired, while the others are still employed but find time to cruise in the Bahamas. Two of our partners are commercial airline pilots, one owns a construction company, one is a retired diplomat, etc. You will be joining a group of responsible professionals -- NOT a bunch of joyriders! Partners come and go over time, but the partnership itself has endured over 15 years. As a registered LLC, rights of owners are protected under U.S. law.S/V PROMISE is registered in the Bahamas at a significant tax and insurance savings. Man-O-War Cay is a short ferry ride from Marsh Harbour, which is a 45-minute direct commercial flight from Palm Beach International Airport. Man-O-War harbor is one of the most protected spots in the Bahamas, and PROMISE rode out Hurricane Matthew with no problems. The vessel is professionally maintained by the Albury family at Edwins Boatyard, who have been building and repairing boats for generations.Monthly dues are $190 and include insurance, mooring fees, maintenance, etc. Dues have already been paid through July 1, saving you $380. Partners are considering repairing some soft spots in the deck which would require an additional assessment.

This motor purrs and has no issues. Sails are in good shape and include a Mack Pack. The dodger and bimini are also in good condition except for some cloudy isinglass which we roll up when underway.In addition to the dinghy, equipment includes stove, refrigerator, microwave, air conditioning, pressurized hot water sink and shower, Groco toilet, holding tank with macerator, Mack Pack sail storage, Edson wheel, furling jib, chart plotter, depth meter, VHF, Lewmar self-tailing winches, Honda portable generator, and Rocna & Danforth anchors with Powerwinch windless.How is time allotted aboard PROMISE? You have one month during the high season (December through May) and one month during the low season (June through November). Most partners use less than a full month, which leaves more time open for anyone else. Each partner endeavors to leave the boat in better condition than he found it. Members elect a chairman and a treasurer. The LLC partnership has endured for 15 years.
