'Sanctuary' was a popular charter boat that I purchased in June 2010 from Conch Charters in Tortola, where she was used occasionally by the owner (not on charters) from 2008-2010 and was bare boated 2004-08.

I lived aboard until April 2012 when she became a bareboat for a year and then I moved aboard again in May, 2013 and brought her to Dominica for day/term charters from Anguilla to Dominica.

After a haul and bottom paint in April 2015, 'Sanctuary' was moored in Bequia from May, 2015 to February 2016, and was hauled and painted again, with 4 new motor mounts in August 2016 then moored full time until March 2017 when sailed and upgraded until May 2017. Currently moored in St Maarten for summer, 2017.
