Welcome aboard Seal
Join us, as we put new soundings on the chart and explore hidden coves, relax in the raised saloon after a climb, or tie up right off the beach for the best views of wildlife.

"Both [Kate and Hamish] are first-class seamen.
I quickly develop a great respect for their quiet competence, their
knowledge of the boat, and their love of the area."
-- Peter Nielsen in
Sail, November 2007
"A sound boat is a combination of the ship itself and the skipper and crew that sail it. It is clear that Kate and Hamish work together as such a team, sharing tasks and contributing their own special skills to the task at hand. Their knowledge, experience and approach to problem solving place them in a class of their own, perfectly complemented by the magnificent boat they and Kanter Yachts have built. It is not hard to imagine sailing to Antarctica or any other place on earth aboard Seal, truly a Cape Horner for the 21st century." -- Andy O'Grady in Ocean Navigator, March-April 2007
