OWNER’S NOTES SAFARI feels bigger than 40’ where it counts—salon, galley, and cockpit—so families aren’t on top of each other, and anglers have space to work. She’s turnkey for fall football raft-ups, leaf-peeping cruises, or hopping a weather window to chase tuna. The big jobs (electronics, enclosure, windlass, 1,000-hr services) are already done, which means you can step aboard and use the boat right away.
