Snooze again, lose again…

I’ve got more fast-breaking developments for you, loyal friends and clients, coming in from all 32 points of the compass. That would include:

1. Another Zeelander sale;
2. Another new summer event where you can experience our new Zeelander 55;
3. Another cool update on said fine yacht; and,
4. Another Zeelander 72 opportunity.

I’m sure you are all out and about on the water, so I will keep this brief. But right off the bat, check out today’s review of our Zeelander 55 in the Robb Report:

1. A second Snoozeagram!

Yup, two snoozeagrams in two weeks! Last week I reported that Makai, our Norwalk CT Zeelander 44 listing has found her new and happy owner.

This week I am thrilled to report that her 2012 Fort Lauderdale sistership is now under contract as well.

For the moment, that exhausts our east coast inventory of Z44 listings. However, there are two Z44’s for sale in California:

• Harvest Moon, a 2014 model listing for $749,000;

• Blush, a 2012 model listing for $575,000:

If you are a West Coast boater, you can be cruising around in just a few weeks. If you are East Coast, I recommend you call me quickly (lest you end up on the wrong side of my next snoozeagram).

Over the years I’ve trucked a veritable small fleet of sold yachts cross-country, this way and that, and I’d be happy to take you through the in’s-and-out’s of the costs and procedures. And, as you’ve seen here on The Fog Warning, I’m intimately familiar with all things Zeelander. So just launch that flare and I’ll fill you in on the particulars.

2. Our Brand New Z55

Earlier this week I retrieved our new Zeelander 55 (at least until she becomes your new Zeelander 55) from her freighter in Newport:

Here’s my delivery report, short-form. By all means, if you have time, call for the longer version.

Long-time readers know I’ve been doing this for twenty years. And most of the $50m in fine yachts I’ve sold have been freighted over from Europe. So this is not (as they say) my first rodeo.

So I can say with deep context and full authority that in regard to this Zeelander 55, I have rarely seen a new yacht come in this flawlessly. I’ve spent most of this week exploring every nook and cranny, testing every system, and checking every last lightbulb. I find her as close to perfect as a new yacht can be. And, I’ll add, she features just about the best paint job I’ve ever seen. Yup, yup.

Her 108 mile run to our Norwalk docks was equally flawless:

Between today and August 6th she’s docked at our Norwalk Cove Marina location, awaiting your private and unhurried inspection. Please call me for a viewing.

And after August 6th, buckle your seatbelts…

3. See us in Martha’s Vineyard!

Last week I shared with you the details of our Sag Harbor event, running from August 7th through the 13th at the town docks.

That will be quickly followed by our Montauk event, running from August 14th through the 16th at the Montauk Lake Club.

This week I am so excited to announce another event in Martha’s Vineyard!

You can find us at Edgartown’s elegant Harborside Inn for Labor Day Weekend, from September 5th through the 7th.

All three of these events are by invitation only, and they have begun to fill up (particularly the Sag Harbor event).

Whether it be for Sag Harbor, Montauk, or Martha’s Vineyard, you can easily secure your appointment right HERE, and I urge you to do so quickly.

A Note on event safety: Long-time readers know I sign off my Fog Warning posts with one of two signatures: Either Big Wave Dave (a name given me when I fell overboard at a boat show) or Safety Dave (a name given me by my kids, in some exasperation).

All things considered, I prefer Safety Dave. And under that title I can talk a bit about our safety protocols at the coming events. We’ve been showing the Z55 in Norwalk, as well as the two Z44’s we just sold under these conditions, and we’ve figured out how to do it both safely and comfortably. Your comfort and safety is our top concern. Safety Dave wouldn’t have it any other way.

 

4. And, of course, our Z72

Last week I hinted rather broadly at a possible Zeelander 72 opportunity for you. I now have more info.

As you may recall, our next scheduled Z72 (#4) is to arrive in January 2021. She will be immediately preceded by #3 shipping this September to Florida, shown here:

For those of you in a hurry, this September delivery can now be available to you. Please call me for the details.

Well, you’ve seen here today lots of fast-moving going’s on here at Team Zeelander. There’s nothing I’d like more than to make you a member of the Zeelander family. Your first step (To quote Carol King her friend Sweet Baby James); All you gotta do is call.

See you in Norwalk, Sag, Montauk, or Martha’s Vineyard. Or all of the above!
