About
Stevens 47 – Sparkman & Stephens Bluewater Cruiser
Extensively Refit | Offshore Ready | Cartagena, Colombia
Located in Cartagena, Colombia — easily accessible via a short flight from Miami.
This Stevens 47, designed by the legendary Sparkman & Stephens, is a proven bluewater cruising yacht combining timeless offshore capability with spacious liveaboard comfort. Extensively restored and upgraded between 2016 and 2018, she has since been continuously improved and carefully maintained with serious offshore cruising in mind.
Originally purchased with the dream of sailing around the world, this yacht was refit to support true long-distance passagemaking and self-sufficient cruising. Although those plans have changed, the vessel remains exceptionally well-equipped and genuinely ready for her next adventure.
From 2019–2020 she served as a full-time liveaboard home, proving both her comfort and reliability. Today she represents a rare opportunity to acquire a heavily upgraded classic bluewater yacht without needing to undertake a major refit.

* A previous docking incident resulted in cosmetic hull scratches. The affected area was professionally repainted, though the blue color match is not considered perfect by the owner.

* Forward head shower basin previously leaked freshwater; basin has since been repaired and resealed.
* Minor cosmetic water damage below the chart table has existed since current ownership.
None of these issues affect the vessel’s structural integrity or cruising capability.
