About
Seafari - A 1987 Moody 422 That's Been Loved Like a Home
Seafari isn't just a boat that's been sailed. She's been lived on. Her current owners became liveaboards the moment they bought her in 2020, and they've treated her like a floating home ever since. That means she's comfortable, capable, and surprisingly clever where it counts.
The headline upgrade? A lithium battery bank installed in 2020. No more worrying about fridge draw or charging anxiety at anchor. Whether you're working remotely or just love your morning coffee without the generator, this system gives you real, off-grid peace of mind.
On Moodys - Why This Matters:
Moody has long been the quiet icon of the bluewater cruiser who also likes a good shower and a good night's sleep. In the 80s, their Bill Dixon-designed hulls struck that rare balance: stiff enough to handle a blow, yet slippery enough to ghost along in light air. Below deck, you'll find the kind of joinery and headroom that makes other production boats feel like rental apartments. A Moody doesn't scream for attention—but ask any owner, and they'll tell you: she's the one you want when the anchorage gets lumpy or the season stretches into months.
Seafari is a working, cruising, living boat that's been dialed in for real life afloat. The lithium bank is just the start. You'll also feel the care in the little things—from how the galley is laid out to how dry she stays below.
If you've been looking for a 42-foot pocket bluewater cruiser that feels like a home and runs like a modern yacht, come see Seafari. Her current owners aren't leaving because they have to—they're simply moving on to their next chapter. Yours could start here.
