Cruising and racing sailboats listed by licensed Florida yacht brokers on the Treasure Coast.
Sailing Out of Stuart
Stuart sits at a genuine crossroads for sailors. The St. Lucie Inlet opens to the Atlantic and the Bahamas run; the Okeechobee Waterway heads west to the Gulf; the ICW runs north and south from your dock.
Draft is the first question to settle. The Okeechobee Waterway controlling depth restricts what can cross the state, and the St. Lucie Inlet shoals and shifts. Plenty of capable cruising boats simply cannot make certain passages from here. Decide where you intend to sail before you fall for a particular hull.
What to Look at on a Used Sailboat
Rig age is the number most buyers underestimate. Standing rigging has a service life, and insurers increasingly ask about it — budget for replacement if it is over ten years old and undocumented. Sails are a consumable; a full new inventory on a 40-footer runs into five figures.
Below the waterline, ask about the keel joint and, on older boats, whether a moisture survey has ever been done. We arrange survey and sea trial, and we will tell you when a boat is not worth the haul-out fee.
