The thoughtfully engineered helm station with windlass control and all lines led aft to the cockpit allows the captain to remain engaged with guests while navigating and trimming sails effortlessly using the Andersen electric winches. Expect a comfortable 9 knots on a beam reach—while the fractional rig, easy-to-handle sail plan make short or single-handed sailing safe, smooth, and enjoyable.
Everything onboard is intelligently designed with practicality in mind—from easily accessible inspection hatches that simplify routine maintenance to abundant storage throughout the vessel to the ergonomic cockpit, featuring a large table and ample seating and hard-top bimini, connects seamlessly to a clean, uncluttered fore deck layout.

Owners Comments and Boat History
AfterGlow is a joy to sail and I have found her faster than the typical boats on charter (Lagoons and monohulls). We enjoy fishing for pelagic species (marlin, tuna, Dorado, Wahoo, Mackerel) off the back of the boat. We have been in some rough seas and the boat manages the waves very well while we are able to fish off the back. We had two rod holders installed for trolling. I will be happy to convey the two Penn 50 reels, rods and lures with boat. We decided to take our adventures inland to the mountains, so we are selling AfterGlow.
The boat layout is great for family and friends to sail with us. We especially like the aft area. The Dinghy rests on a wood deck at the back of the boat. When the Dinghy is launched which is simple to do, the back deck becomes a great swim platform and activity location for exercise and Yoga. The layout of the galley is perfect for two people to be able to prepare meals. The freezer is able to hold a lot. We do not use the Ice Maker too much due to power needs, but it is really nice for those occasions where ice is super nice to have. The boat is very easy to sail with 2 persons. We have created some great memories on AfterGlow and know she will be a great cruising boat for the next owners.
AfterGlow has been part of Voyage Charter fleet from date of delivery 12/2017 through 1/2026. All maintenance performed by Voyage Charters and records are available. Boat is in excellent condition.
