Description
CHASER, formerly SWEET MELISSA III, underwent an interior re-modeling between 2019 – 2020 to make her a more contemporary yacht with an up-to-date galley, main salon, heads, and much more. After purchasing this 81’ Cheoy Lee in the Spring of 2021, the present owner completed some of the last bits and pieces of the prior refit and began a comprehensive maintenance program for the yachts’ machinery and systems (see long list of work accomplished to date). As a result of having an experienced yacht owner/a well versed captain/engineer, and a very hard-working mate, CHASER is now very reliable and passage ready. Easy to see by appointment in Fort Lauderdale.
Integrity Yacht Sales is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel. This boat is centrally listed by Luke Brown Yachts. It is offered as a convenience by this broker/dealer to its clients and is not intended to convey direct representation of a particular vessel

Introduction
Being offered on a partnership basis – owing to the fact that the owner has only about six weeks a year to use her. He is seeking a like-minded person who wants to keep CHASER, as he does, in excellent condition and use her primarily in Florida and the Bahamas. This is a great opportunity for someone wanting to “try out” yacht ownership or for an individual who has only limited time to use a yacht.
