Description

Rock Bottom Price! Only $100,000.
SHEBA MOON is one of a small number of 53 foot Skookum Staysail Schooner vessels built as yachts instead of commercial fishing boats. Her Panama Canal length is 67 feet overall, including her bowsprit and aft davits. She has crossed the Atlantic and back on her own bottom after spending six years in the Mediterranean with her live aboard owners. Designed by Ed Monk and built by Skookum Marine in Port Townsend, WA, SHEBA MOON is a center cockpit pilothouse open ocean cruiser that is spacious and comfortable, rugged and safe. She is more than a strong yacht; with her immense interior she is a true all weather, go anywhere, floating home. She has three separate staterooms and two additional pilot berths in her huge aft living area. Whether you want to cruise the world, live aboard, or both, SHEBA MOON is the perfect choice.
