Sold by the listing broker to the second owners 28 years ago and three times since, THANKS BUDS remains an icon in yachting circles. She was built as the second of two GALLANT LADY Feadship Sportfisherman. At the time of her build there were no larger pedigree “Yacht Fisherman” on the water. While the market has dictated newer larger and faster Sportfisherman none have the class, grace or quality of a Feadship. Largely in fact to her original design only systems have been upgraded. Her original Feadship features remain. Your chance to “own an icon.”
NOTE: In October of 2024, THANKS BUDS was donated to a marine oriented charity. As such she can only be leased for 36 months with a purchase option at the conclusion of the lease.
Also of note, while still accurate, all photos except the Pilothouse are 3 years old.
