"Papillon"

Dickerson 41 CC

A solid and proven offshore cruising sailboat


 

“Papillon" was purchased as a home and a long-distance stable cruiser, and she has provided both. We have cruised her from Baltimore, through the Bahamas, and as far south as the Dominican Republic. She is loved and well cared for and currently docked in St. Augustine ready for her next adventure, north or south. It is our hope to find someone looking for what she is, a comfortable home and a fine vessel that will take you anywhere you want to go.”-current owners

 

"Papillon" is ketch rigged with a full isinglass enclosure, a Bahamas friendly 4.9 ft draft, and many recent upgrades. She was designed and built on the Chesapeake Bay and is considered by many to be the ultimate in cruising designs. Her full keel and her heavy displacement allow her to be comfortably taken offshore or cruised down the Intracoastal Waterway.

She was commissioned and built by the owner of Dickerson Yachts himself after he sailed to Jamaica on a sister ship. She was built to sail to Tahiti. That voyage was never realized, but she has served as a coastal and Island cruiser for the past 32 years, making over 20 passages to the Bahamas and back. Papillon is set up for an off-the-grid cruising lifestyle with her systems so balanced she can sit on anchor for months at a time. She is a solidly founded, serious yacht that will serve her new owner well for many years to come.

Client Testimonials

«When things weren't working out with my previous Yacht Broker, a friend of mine suggested that I contact Yacht Access to sell my Sea Ray. I contacted Dan Paolillo at Yacht Access and there was absolutely no pressure. After our initial conversation Dan followed up with a list of comparable vessels recently sold and a list of similar vessels currently available with asking prices. After looking over the information we decided on an asking price and within 90 days Dan had my yacht under contract. Two weeks later it was sold. Since then we've kept in close touch and will hopefully be closing on my next vessel soon. After no success selling my 48' Sea Ray Sedan Bridge with my previous broker, calling Yacht Access was the best decision I ever made. I would encourage anyone looking to buy or sell to contact these professionals.»
