1999 Jefferson Rivanna 52' - Palmetto, FL - $224,900

It is with profound regret that our beloved Wanderlust is offered for sale. This is a great opportunity to pick up a turn-key liveaboard for a very reasonable price. The previous owners extensively cruised the Bahamas and completed the Great Loop.

Jeffersons are tough boats with solid fiberglass hulls and real wood interiors. The 52' Rivanna was typically a three stateroom vessel but this one was designed with the third stateroom as an office. Other notable features include:
* A walk-in pantry
* 840 watts of solar power
* A 900 gallon per day water maker
* Up-to-date software and maps on the touch screen chart plotter
* A new GE electric cooktop
* Bauer scuba compressor and four scuba tanks
* No "boat" smells
* 4' draft
* 20' air draft with antennas up

The survey is about a year and a half old. I'm happy to supply the survey to interested buyers. All of the items found on the engine were minor and the technician repaired them after the sale completed. All of the items found by the surveyor were minor and have been repaired by me. Most were just recommendations by ABYC, not actual defects.

Local or Regional delivery and training can be included.

Do you have any overall pics of the galley/Salon? Can't get a good pic in my head how it is laid out. Also, overall pic of fly bridge, bow/anchor windlass, and swim step? Thanks.

I'll take some. It'll be a few minutes. They won't be the most flattering because Tropical Storm Eta is dumping rain all over everything but I'll post those shortly and it will give you an idea.

I tried to do a panorama shot here to get it all in so some of the lines are slightly curved. The shot was taken from the stairs coming in from the aft deck, port stern corner of the salon/dining/galley area.


This was taken from the starboard forward corner of the galley, looking the opposite direction as the other photo.


Here are three photos showing an overall view of the bridge:



The cushions in the right corner are from the dinghy. We bring them inside so they aren't exposed to sun and rain.


Here is an overall shot of the anchor, pulpit, and windlass:


This is a shot of the swim platform, transom, and cockpit. It's blurry but it gives you the general idea. There is a tropical storm passing by right now so I'm not going back out to take a clearer photo.


Let me know if you have additional questions or would like to come see her.

Beautiful! We have the 48 Rivanna and love it. Nice heavy boats with quality build and equipment.

Damn nice boat.
I think I’ve read the above list a few times, but I also might have missed this. Does the boat have stabilizers and thrusters?

And you should be.

She has a lot to offer.
A few other photos would be helpful.
How about a better photo of the galley, and the same photo of the cockpit from the dock, not thast Eta has passed? How about a good photo of the heads and a few more pics of the engine room.
Thanks,

Thanks for the interest. I’ll see what I can do tomorrow about getting the photos you suggested. Wanderlust is currently under contract and goes to survey on the 7th but these things sometimes do fall apart.

Great. Thanks, John.

Beautiful boat

...and very well equiped. Wish I were younger. I'm sure you'll find a buyer. Cheers, John

Wanderlust was under contract but the buyer backed out before the survey and without ever actually seeing the boat. His loss is your gain; Wanderlust is now available again. Kirk, I'll get those photos posted shortly.

Better photos of the cockpit and transom.

Additional photos of the galley. Definitely a “two butt” galley. My wife and I cook together in here all the time without bumping into each other.

Additional photos of the engine room. Well-lit! We once had three adult males in here without being crowded.

A few photos of the heads. The TankWatch system works perfectly; the lights are out because we just had a pump out before the photos were taken.

Thanks for the cockpit pics, John.
How do you access the starboard side of the cockpit? Looks difficult for line handling.
Can I also request a couple more pics of the galley for my wife. Please be sure to include a pic of the refrigerator.
She'd also like to see the heads and washer dryer and wants to know if the new sofa in the saloon converts to a diouble bed.
Thanks, Kirk
P.S. You weren't ancohred in San Carlos Pass in Estero, FL for Thanksgiving, were you? If not, it was a sister ship.

Hi Kirk,

Most of the time, we just stand on the swim platform and lean over the transom to fiddle with any lines on the starboard corner. When we untie, we lay the line and the fenders over the transom and leave them behind/under the stairs. Works fine. My wife is never shy about expressing an opinion if something is too difficult and she never complains about line or fender handling there.

There are a bunch of pictures of the galley, including the refrigerator, in post 21. The refrigerator works great and was installed in Trinidad by a previous owner. The opening for the refrigerator could easily take a larger model.

There are a number of photos of the two heads in post 23. What additional photo angles would you like?

The sofa in the salon does not convert to a bed so a child or small adult could sleep on it.

Photos of the washer and dryer will follow this post.

That wasn't us in Estero yesterday; we were out of town. Must have been a sister ship.

When would you like to come by and see Wanderlust?

John

There is more room in the starboard corner of the cockpit than it may have seemed.

John,
Thanks for the additional pics.
Let me see if I can make time this weekend to come up and see your boat.
If I can, what works for you?
