Inside Makai




If you are a boater and own a boat then you know what a boat looks like inside. If you have no clue as to how we can live on a sailboat well then - step inside Makai.  Makai is a 40' long range cruiser. She is 13' wide with approximately 225 gallons of fuel enough for about 1600 miles of motoring when the sails are not up.  She has a complete galley (kitchen) with a microwave, stove, sink, fridge and freezer.  We also have 2 staterooms (bedrooms) each with queen size beds.  And there are 2 heads (bathrooms), both having a stand up shower. The salon (living room) has two couches and a dining table.  We also have a flat screen tv, stereo system and over 200 DVD's and over 150 CD's to watch and listen to.  The stereo can even be played outside in the cockpit (back porch to Eva) if we are entertaining.  Everything that we had in the house, is here in the boat - well, maybe not everything!  But we do have a full set of pots and pans, baking dishes, mixer, toaster, pressure cooker, dish service for 8 and even crystal wine glasses! We have plenty of storage as the seat cushions lift up and things are under there as well as the back cushions.  Even under the bed opens up for storage! Outside we have the largest swimming pool you can imagine! There is one rule regarding "things" --- every thing has a place and we always put things away, not just put them down!  Makai is a vacation on the water.  Most pleasurable most of the time with great memories of the cruising life
