Presenting... "Tidak Apa"

1980 Shucker 440 Yacht
Ready for your enjoyment...
Now Reduced to $59,500 US

Those of you who know the Caribbean Sea will probably recognise this very fine Shucker yacht. The author of the wonderfully informative cruising guide entitled "The Gentleman's Guide to Passages South" has lived aboard Tidak Apa and cruised the Caribbean islands for the past twenty seven years. He and his wife have cruised in the United States waters as well, anchoring in nearly every creek from Miami to the Chesapeake Bay. This yacht has proven herself time and time again as a relentless bluewater cruiser and friend. I am speaking of Bruce and Rosa Van Sant.

The September 2006 PASSAGEMAKER magazine introduces the new Island Packet Trawler on page 41. The article compares the Island Packet Trawler, which starts at $300,000, to the Schucker 440 of 1980. Anyone serious about Tidak Apa needs to read this article first and then continue on checking out this ultra fine Schucker yacht!
