Welcome aboard the Daydreamer!
She's a 31' sloop built by Mick Elmes in Auckland, New Zealand. The boat has been in our family since 2000 and has been used for countless journeys and adventures around the Gulf Islands, Sunshine coast, and more. She's been very well looked after, and has had some handy upgrades throughout the years. It's been a great boat, however our family has outgrown her, so we’re looking to upgrade. Unlike many boats this size, the Daydreamer is built to handle tougher waters and has previously gone on longer trips, like Vancouver to Hawaii. If you’re new to sailing, it’s easy to learn on, and very forgiving. If you’re an experienced sailor, it’s got everything you need to jump in and go wherever you desire!

The boat is super comfortable, can get up to around 7 knots under sail power, with a skilled captain of course. It's a great size for longer trips, while still being small enough to fit in the small moorages and sites we have in this beautiful province. It’ll technically sleep 6 people in a pinch, or 4 people with gear.
It’s been very well looked after for the 25 years we’ve had it, and has been regularly used the whole time.
Offered at $13,998 the Daydreamer is ready to take it's new owner wherever they desire.
