Description
LYCEUM
Usually in the course of preparing a listing description for selling a boat the yacht broker will get from the seller a lengthy and somewhat boring list of “work history” that isn’t necessarily actual work but reads more like a timeline of when equipment came up for sale at the local marine store. Not so the case with LYCEUM!!
The seller of LYCEUM’s work list history reads more like a detailed chronology of a thorough and pro-active restoration keeping LYCEUM in good working order not just for the next season but for generations of owners to come.
Normally this yacht broker would place a boat’s work history towards the end of the listing description but in the case of LYCEUM this information deserves to be considered and positioned first in line to show the reader that what is being offered for sale here is fully found and ready to go with adventures just waiting to happen.
