From the Flybridge
by John Olson

One of life’s most enjoyable experiences is the simple pleasure of sitting on the flybridge with friends or family, watching the sun rise, sharing some conversation and humor, having some good laughs. Or perhaps sitting around a table in the cockpit at dusk, having a delicious dinner, a glass of wine, taking in a view that you are intimately a part of out on the water. Not everyone gets a chance to do these things, as much as they would love to. There is no better way to forget your troubles, to step out of the rat race, or to rejuvenate for the next battle that life throws at you. And a yacht is an always inviting escape vehicle, waiting for your call.

It’s the desire to experience these moments that brings all types of people through our open office doors (on all but the coldest days) here in Newport. And our door has been crowded of late. Michael Kaplan’s new 62’ Offshore Flushdeck has just about completed its commissioning and has departed for the East Coast. A new 80’ Pilothouse arrived a few weeks ago and has begun commissioning before it leaves for the Pacific Northwest with its new owner. We sold a new 54’ Pilothouse in March. And two of our new 64’ Voyagers have been sold and are now under construction. Before long all of these yachts will be carrying their new owners over the horizon, allowing them the special privileges of peace, beauty, adventure, and total freedom that only yachting can provide (with the possible exception of space travel).

So, do you have an interest in freeing your spirit from the attachments of the mundane, the day-to-day monotony, the sameness, and the irritations of modern life (I know, this is a trick question)? If so, then maybe you’d like to get into a new, latest-and-greatest 76 Pilothouse, without waiting. Yes, you read that correctly, without waiting. Due to arrive in June 08, this is a huge opportunity to cut to the front of the line without getting yelled at. This is a terrific boat: sleek, spacious, luxurious, generous crew quarters, big Cal Deck, full stand-up engine room, and a master stateroom with his-and-her heads (with private access stairway), and a new updated interior design that is a bit of a departure from our traditional look. What a great platform for cruising the paradises of the sea!

We also have a wide selection of sizes and types of brokerage offerings at the moment (Offshores from 48’ to 72’ and two Sea Ray sport cruisers), many of which will be on display and available for touring at the upcoming Newport Boat Show (April 9 to 13: see the notice in this issue for more details).

Finally, see the article in this issue on the developments in Offshore’s flagship vessel, the 90 Voyager. In this size range, there is no better, or more livable, craft on the water.

We hope you enjoy this latest issue of Offshore Currents, and we hope you seize the chance to experience the joys of life Offshore.
