About Crewed Sailing Yacht AUGUST MAVERICK
AUGUST MAVERICK is a Stephens 92 sailing yacht offering genuine passage-making alongside refined comfort. Built in 1978, she has been meticulously maintained and represents the kind of vessel where seasoned sailors and families alike experience the Caribbean on their own terms, under sail.
The yacht accommodates up to 12 guests across three cabins with flexible configurations, including a king berth, eight singles, and two pullmans. The main salon features full air-conditioning, a dining area, and an onboard bar. Aft decking provides generous space for relaxation, with table seating for the full party and sunbathing areas forward.
Captain Shawn, the owner-operator, has spent his life on the water and brings both technical expertise and local knowledge to every charter.
