Overview
LIFE IS GOOD is a stellar example of how a pre-owned yacht should look. She is a one owner vessel that has been professionally maintained by a full time captain. The crew and owners have lavished her with upgrades, maintenance, preventative maintenance, and care since her launch in 2005. This is a “no apologies” offering.
