I have hosted many special occasion events on the Gone Sailing Adventures’ yachts since starting the business in 2010. The most common are bachelorette and birthday parties, corporate events and summer long brand experiences. I have presided over a number of ash-scatterings and hosted four weddings on board.
One of the best features about a Grady-White; the look and feel is unmistakably “Grady-White” and while it’s a handsome and contemporary boat, it has a unique style that I think is designed for life. It will always be a Grady-White and the Freedom 235 feels like it will last for years.
