SV „Momo“ – Classic Steel Bluewater Sloop – Ready for Adventure! (Drydock, Guatemala)

With a heavy heart, we are offering our beloved SV “Momo”, a robust and beautifully built Fruit de Mer steel sloop, perfect for long-distance cruising. Designed by the renowned Michel Joubert and built by Form’Ocean, “Momo” is ready for serious bluewater adventures, offering both comfort and reliability. We lived  with our family, two adults, four kids, on our Momo for six years and had one of the best times of our life! We would love to keep her, but she is just to far away from germany, where we are located. So, we have to sell her..

Currently located in Guatemala in a drydock, she is ideal for inspection and maintenance. My husband Stephan is at the Rio Dulce from on the 25th of November till the 5th of December, in case you want to act quick.. Our special offer to you is: We pay for your trip to Rio Dulce till an amount of 1000,-$, if you sign the contract to buy Momo. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully equipped, ocean-capable steel sloop at a realistic price.
