This beautifully maintained 24’ Limestone Runabout, named Bella, offers a smooth and reliable ride with the well-known durability of Limestone boats. With a striking navy blue hull, this boat has been meticulously cared for and is ready for new adventures on the water. Ideal for commuting, boat camping, or entertaining family and friends, *Bella* is perfectly suited for the Salish Sea and beyond. The deep modified V-hull and wide 9’2″ beam provide excellent stability, even in rough waters. The current owners have cherished their time aboard, ensuring regular upkeep, and have service records available for review. Notable features include a Mercruiser 5.7L fuel-injected Vortec engine, rebuilt in 2017 with only 350 hours since overhaul, and a Bravo III outdrive. The boat also boasts a cuddy cabin with a V-berth, ideal for overnight stays, and a Garmin GPS for reliable navigation. In 2021, new canvas ($6,500) was added, and in 2022, the hull received a midnight blue wrap, which gives the boat a refreshed and polished look. Moorage is available in West Vancouver, offering an ideal spot for easy access to the water.

What happens when you lose your 9–5, hit rock bottom, and end up backpacking the world? For Hugo Ortega (Below Deck Season 12), that moment became the spark that changed everything. Inside a hostel in Thailand, Hugo met a yacht deckhand who showed him photos of life in the Bahamas and the Mediterranean — jet skis, crystal-clear waters, and freedom at sea. Until that moment, Hugo didn’t even know the job existed. That chance meeting set him on the path to becoming a yachtie, rising from deckhand to bosun to superyacht captain, and eventually creating Superyacht Sunday School to help others do the same. 🎙️ Hear his full story on Salty Podcast #71 — from burnout ➝ backpacking ➝ yachtie life, and how the lessons he learned can apply to YOUR sailing journey or even launching your own charter business. 👉 🎙️ Full episode Podlink: https://tinyurl.com/SaltyPodcastHugo #SaltyAbandon #SaltyPodcast #BelowDeck #Sailing #superyachts What would you do if you lost your 9–5 job, hit rock bottom, and found yourself backpacking across the world? For Hugo Ortega, bosun on Below Deck Season 12 and founder of Superyacht Sunday School, that moment became the turning point that launched him into the superyacht industry. In this episode of the Salty Podcast, Hugo shares how being laid off led him to a hostel in Thailand, where he met a yacht deckhand who showed him a life he never knew existed — the yachtie lifestyle. From deckhand to bosun to superyacht captain, Hugo explains how he built a career at sea, what yacht crew life is really like, and how the skills learned in the yachting industry can apply to sailing around the world, starting a charter business, or simply gaining more freedom on the water. We also talk about Hugo’s work with Superyacht Sunday School, where he’s trained over 300 aspiring yacht crew members and helped them break into the yacht industry. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to work on a yacht, live the yacht crew lifestyle, or transition from backpacking to boating, this conversation will open your eyes to a whole new world. 👉 🎙️ Full episode Podlink: https://tinyurl.com/SaltyPodcastHugo
