Boat Description

Experience the ultimate resort lifestyle with the 1983 52' DeFever Performance Offshore Cruiser named 'TRY,' complete with a rare slip at the coveted Paradise Village Marina in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. This meticulously maintained cruiser is ready for immediate enjoyment, eliminating the lengthy wait typically associated with securing a prime docking spot on the stunning West Coast of Mexico and Banderas Bay. With only 500 hours on her twin Caterpillar 3208 engines, 'TRY' is barely seasoned after four decades of craftsmanship. Over the years, her devoted owners have invested over $250,000 in essential upgrades, ensuring both reliable offshore cruising performance and luxurious liveaboard comfort. Highlights include: refreshed engines for seamless travels, a modern sanitation system for worry-free use, instant hot water for added luxury, and eye-catching exterior paint that makes her stand out at the dock. The newly renovated galley features a modern sink, stove, 5-in-1 range, dishwasher, refrigerator, icemaker, and a beer fridge, perfect for entertaining or daily living. Enjoy European-style comfort with bidets in the heads, as well as ample power from 12.5 KW and 8 KW generators. The boat comfortably accommodates seven guests in three staterooms, boasts two heads and showers, and includes a full standing washer and dryer. With a legendary full-displacement design by Arthur DeFever, 'TRY' offers proven seaworthiness, a robust fiberglass hull, and a generous fuel capacity of nearly 1,500 gallons, allowing for efficient cruising at 8 knots and a range of over 1,200 nautical miles. As a former committee boat for numerous regattas and events, she has been a beloved part of the community. What truly sets 'TRY' apart is the highly sought-after slip at Paradise Village Marina, where access to world-class amenities awaits: beautiful swimming pools, Jacuzzis, tennis courts, a fitness center, gourmet dining, shopping, and a pristine beach just steps away. With 24-hour security and concierge service, you can fully immerse yourself in the luxurious yachting lifestyle. 'TRY' features a practical and spacious interior, perfect for extended cruising or entertaining, alongside wide side decks for easy line handling and a large flybridge ideal for a tender. With minimal engine hours and extensive recent upgrades, this DeFever Performance Offshore Cruiser promises a turn-key experience. Don't miss out on the chance to own both this exceptional boat and her coveted marina slip, making your dream of liveaboard cruising in paradise a reality.
