Oct 22, 2023 - Prepping the boat for it's seasonal haul out, we took Utopia out for a nice fall afternoon cruise just outside of the Manitowoc harbor.

Originally from Sturgeon Bay, you can now find Utopia in Manitowoc, Wisconsin! Dockside visitors can explore this beautifully crafted vessel, which was designed by Fred J. Peterson of Peterson Builders, Inc. in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin and built in 1946. Utopia’s unique features include a steel double bottom for strength, wooden hull sides for warmth, and twin Detroit diesel engines. Visitors can marvel at her elegant lines, learn about her global circumnavigation, and appreciate the craftsmanship that has kept her sailing for decades. Utopia currently resides under the stewardship of the her new owners based in Manitowoc Wisconsin, where it continues to inspire curiosity and passion for the Great Lakes among learners of all ages.
Usually when we prep a boat for listing, we ask the Sellers to take off their personal items. In this case, it was the exact opposite as "Sappho" is clearly a home on the water, displaying nothing but coziness and warmth! Built by Waterline Yachts in Sidney, these vessels are known for exceptional build quality as confirmed by the 2022 Survey. With an open-plan concept, Sappho is designed with pilothouse styled large windows for maximum natural light without taking up valuable interior space with a seldom used interior helm station. The galley and seating area are surrounded by amazing outside visibility and a step down takes you into the living space for privacy. Topside the decks are large and wide with tons of space for kayaks, paddleboards or bikes and the cockpit is protected from the elements with a custom hard dodger complete with 2 solar panels. Powered by a 55hp Yanmar diesel engine assisted with freshly serviced hydraulic steering, this boat is perfect for offshore sailing or comfortable PNW cruising and live-aboard. Available with a mooring buoy for sub-let in Maple Bay if needed, Sappho is available to view by appointment at our Sidney location. Please contact our Vancouver Island Sales Office at 250-656-5832 to schedule a showing.
