Bonus side note about the boat

This boat is a dolphin magnet! If there are any dolphins in the area they come rushing to the boat to swim and play.

If you are looking for a motor yacht in this size and class you will not be disappointed in how “Lady J” shows. She is laid up for the summer season as the pictures indicate, but she is easy to show.
