S/V Honu Kai — a 2010 Jeanneau 44i located in Manuel Reef, Virgin Islands (British), for sale by broker. Responses to inquiries may come from a broker who is representing the owner as a fiduciary.
Honu Kai is a 2011 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 44i, well equipped for extended cruising with three cabins, three heads, solar power, Raymarine electronics, and recent professional repairs. A solid, spacious cruiser ideal for shorthanded sailors.
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. She’s now in a slip at Manuel Reef Marina.
A comprehensive pre-purchase survey is recommended to verify her current condition.
