A Rare Gem

Refreshing to find a boat that is lavishly maintained

and constantly upgraded

VIEW THE 360 DEGREE VIRTUAL TOUR

The Irwin 54 is one of the most popular sailing yachts over 50' ever built. Find out why

For over 20 Years, the current owner had an open check book to

continually upgrade and lovingly care for this amazing yacht

Over 250 Irwin 52’s and 54’s were built. First introduced in 1976, The Irwin 52 quickly became the most popular cruising center cockpit sailboat on the market. In 1988, the boat evolved into the Irwin 54 with a major redesign of the hull, deck and interior. “Patience“ is one of the last Irwin 54’s and possibly the best ever built.

“Patience” was ordered new by her original owner in 1989 and commissioned in 1990. The concept was to utilize the basic clever design and create a vessel of not just outstanding beauty, but also a yacht that is flawlessly executed and engineered to a standard normally seen only in larger vessels. The spectacular result is not only a "go anywhere" yacht, but also one of absolute luxury, total privacy and short-handed style.

The second owner purchased "Patience" for a two year Caribbean cruise and then sold her to the current owner. Current owner has owned this boat for the past 20 years!

Accommodations

Interior Description

“Patience” sleeps six persons in three private cabins, excluding the main salon, with optional sleeping space in workroom.

She has a stunning interior that really has to be seen to be fully appreciated. (See the 3D Virtual Tour) She was designed and then customized around luxury, quality and functional elegance. The interior is truly gorgeous and maintained in show condition at all times.

Starting forward is VIP Stateroom with centerline queen berth.

A large flatscreen TV is located above and navigation instuments are outboard. An eight bottle wine cooler is located below.

Next aft and down two steps is the Galley. The galley on “Patience” will appeal to any cruising gourmet and is equivalent in size to what you'd expect on boats much larger. The galley provides ample counter space, cabinets and drawers for storage. Opposite the galley is the separate laundry room and complete walk-in workshop.

Sails and Rigging

The current owner decided to remove the Hood Stoway mast and upgrade the mast and rigging to a custom Seldon mast with a hydraulic furling system around 2010. He has an impressive above deck rig that rivals vessels of a much larger size and higher price range. A lot of thought by the experienced owner went into making “Patience” easy to sail by a couple and enhance the performance.

Joe has worked diligently to help hundreds of his clients buy or sell either power or sailing yachts. Many of my clients have become lifelong friends. he’d like the opportunity to earn that relationship with you.

The Early Years:

Joe’s love of the sea motivated me to earning a degree in marine biology and chemistry. Unable to find a career in his field and after numerous course in sales and marketing, he began his career in the yacht business in 1978 working with CSY, Caribbean Sailing Yachts in Tampa, Florida in the sales department. Over the years, Joe was vice president of sales and marketing for several yacht manufactures which included Gulfstar yachts, Lazzara Marine, Morgan Yachts and Irwin Yachts. During that time he had the incredible opportunity to work side by side with several of the “legends” in the boat building industry. Joe also had the pleasure of working with Azimut Benetti, the Italian manufacture that is the largest builder of motor yachts over eighty feet in the world. Through these experiences, Joe gained intimate product knowledge and a thorough understanding of the construction process that you may find helpful in comparing different yachts.

The Middle Years:

Joe’s experience in yacht brokerage sales is extensive and varied and includes selling hundreds of sail and power yachts. He also owned the first completely computerized yacht brokerage, Preferred Yachts. Located next door to the St Pete Yacht Club and the 600+ slip Municipal Marina, we were a waterfront fixture for over a decade.

Always searching for a better way do something, Joe developed a computer program in the 80’s that effectively kept track of brokerage yachts around the country and interfaced that information with a database of clients’ wants and needs. This computer system helped him to become one of the largest brokerages on the west coast of Florida and was further developed and shared with BUC International. The BUC listing system became the industry standard for over 15 years before Yachtworld took their place.

My Pledge to you:

My pledge to you is to advise you and never “sell” you. Although I’ve sold boats for 38 years, I never want to forget what it’s like to be a buyer or a seller. Buying or selling a boat can be a confusing and frustrating experience. What’s a good boat and what isn’t? What’s good price and what isn’t? With so many questions and so much miss-information, how do you make the right choice and who can you trust? You will find my practical advice is sincere, sound and honest. My hope is to earn your trust, respect and business. My goal is to fulfill your dream whether it is to find the right boat or sell your current one.
