1986 Cherubini 44

Meet MAGIC, likely one of the nicest Cherubini 44s on the water. While in the hands of the previous owner, MAGIC spent 10 years in a climate controlled warehouse undergoing a major refit. The current owner purchased Magic in 2021 and has continued with extensive upgrades including several new sails, electronics, batteries, bow thruster, and more. This is a boat that wants for nothing and is ready to take her new owner to distant horizons. MAGIC is truly a one-of-a-kind find for the Cherubini aficionado or sailor who has a soft spot for the classics. The unmistakable lines of the Cherubini 44 Ketch are borne from a rich history and well-known lineage dating back to the 1920's. From the light air performance, to the offshore blue water capability, the unmatched craftsmanship and design throughout put this boat in a league of its own. The past two owners dedication to restoring her to pristine condition, while updating numerous items along the way, has resulted in a truly stunning vessel. Powered by a Mercedes Benz 76hp diesel, and a full set of new or nearly new sails, she's ready to take her next owner anywhere. She sleeps 6 comfortably, has an incredible mahogany interior and even with all the updated systems still feels like you're stepping back in time while giving you a true appreciation for the craftsmanship that so often is lacking in today's boats.
