Sport Fishing THANKS BUDS

Sold by the listing broker to the second owners 28 years ago and three times since, THANKS BUDS remains an icon in yachting circles. She was built as the second of two GALLANT LADY Feadship Sportfisherman. At the time of her build there were no larger pedigree “Yacht Fisherman” on the water. While the market has dictated newer larger and faster Sportfisherman none have the class, grace or quality of a Feadship. Largely in fact to her original design only systems have been upgraded. Her original Feadship features remain. Your chance to “own an icon.”

NOTE: In October of 2024, THANKS BUDS was donated to a marine oriented charity. As such she can only be leased for 36 months with a purchase option at the conclusion of the lease.

Also of note, while still accurate, all photos except the Pilothouse are 3 years old.

Client Testimonials

«When things weren't working out with my previous Yacht Broker, a friend of mine suggested that I contact Yacht Access to sell my Sea Ray. I contacted Dan Paolillo at Yacht Access and there was absolutely no pressure. After our initial conversation Dan followed up with a list of comparable vessels recently sold and a list of similar vessels currently available with asking prices. After looking over the information we decided on an asking price and within 90 days Dan had my yacht under contract. Two weeks later it was sold. Since then we've kept in close touch and will hopefully be closing on my next vessel soon. After no success selling my 48' Sea Ray Sedan Bridge with my previous broker, calling Yacht Access was the best decision I ever made. I would encourage anyone looking to buy or sell to contact these professionals.»
