Kaufman Custom

Open to trade for a vehicle, tiny house, caravan, or another boat. The right deal for the right people.

Reluctantly parting with our beloved home of the past seven years as life takes us in a new direction.

"Wabi Sabi" has been a strong and dependable vessel, carrying our family of four along the coast with comfort and ease. Now, with our son outgrowing his forward berth and other commitments taking priority, it's time for someone new to continue her journey.

This yacht has been thoughtfully redesigned with comfort and accessibility in mind--crafted from real experience living aboard. She would make a fantastic weekender, liveaboard, or coastal cruiser for the right person. We're looking for someone who will love and care for her as much as we have.
