This yacht is literally one of a kind. She was the prototype for a model that never went into production. While most Schuckers were motorsailers, this model is a true sail boat but with the Schucker flair for space utilization and roominess: you will not find a sailboat of this size with more room below decks anywhere. This yacht is absolutely beautiful, with a customized, light wood interior. It has many advantages of a larger yacht, including excellent headroom throughout (6’8 in the main salon) a stand up engine room (over 6’4) and a large spacious aft cabin, making this a most comfortable vessel for living aboard and both onshore and offshore cruising. This vessel sails like a dream, has been well maintained and upgraded by her present owners, and is very clean throughout.
Words to describe the interior would include spacious, bright, roomy, comfortable, and classy. The current owners have been cruising from Florida to the Chesapeake, but now due to health concerns they are moving to a trawler, so Ever After is ready for a new owner and new adventures.


The Schucker brand is a solid boat that sails well. Schuckers were built by Schucker Yachts in Cape Coral, Fl. They are known for their solid, hand-laid construction. The hull has six pairs of 1 1/2 oz. mat and 24 oz. woven roving over 3/4 oz. mat and gelcoat. From the waterline to the turn of the keel are four more pairs, for a total of 20 layers.

There is plenty of headroom in all areas including a walk in engine room backside to the head.
