Honu Kai has spent the past several years operating in the charter fleet with LongTermCharters.com in the BVI, primarily serving as a bareboat for experienced cruisers undertaking extended voyages. As a result, her interior reflects a history of regular care and remains in good cosmetic condition throughout.
In 2024, Honu Kai sustained stern damage during a tropical storm. She was subsequently acquired by a professional yacht contractor who completed a thorough and high-quality repair of the affected areas.
Prior to the storm, the yacht was actively chartered and well maintained. Since the incident, she has been laid up ashore. A comprehensive pre-purchase survey is recommended to verify her current condition.
