A meticulously maintained motoryacht in the Sea of Cortez. This 3-Stateroom,
3-Head yacht has everything you need to cruise and fish Mexico in style and
comfort. The twin Caterpillars were rebuilt in 2006 and have only seen less than
1,100 hours since. Lots of room for entertaining, comfortable sleeping, or just
lounging around while waiting for the big one to bite.

“Snailin’ Aked” boasts three staterooms and three heads with a comfortable and
spacious layout with Walnut interior. Among her many amenities she features a
full galley and a fully screen enclosed sundeck. Cruise, fish, or live-aboard!
Currently she is maintained in the water with a full-time captain.

Her semi-displacement hull, also called semi-planing by some builders, use hulls
that incorporate both rounded sections for increased storage and tankage, and
flatter hull sections to partially lift the forward section of the hull out of
the water, thereby decreasing drag for increased high cruising speeds.

IKONIC Yachts is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel. This boat
