Now offered for sale for only the third time since her launch, she presents an exceptional opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind motor yacht.Built by Park Isle Marine in British Columbia from welded aluminum alloy and designed by renowned naval architect Gregory Marshall, True Love was commissioned by experienced yachtsmen who wanted something no production builder could offer. The result is a striking, semi-displacement explorer yacht with timeless lines, exceptional craftsmanship, and capabilities that rival many of today's premier cruising brands.Imported to the United States in 2024, True Love has since benefited from extensive upgrades, thoughtful improvements, and an uncompromising maintenance program. Every system has been cared for with the philosophy that reliability at sea is never optional. Complete maintenance and service records—including every expenditure—are available, reflecting an extraordinary level of stewardship rarely found in any yacht.Finished in elegant Awlgrip Moondust with a white superstructure, True Love cruises comfortably at approximately 9 knots, reaches 14 knots when needed, and offers a range of approximately 1,000 nautical miles at 8.75 knots, making her equally at home exploring the Intracoastal Waterway, cruising the Great Loop, island hopping through the Bahamas, or undertaking extended coastal passages. At 7.5 knots, she can run approximately 1,400 nautical miles while maintaining a 200-US-gallon fuel reserve.Discriminating buyers considering Fleming, Marlow, Hampton, Offshore, Ocean Alexander, or Outer Reef will immediately appreciate that True Love occupies a class of her own. She is not a production yacht—she is a custom-built vessel whose quality, engineering, and seaworthiness would be extraordinarily expensive to replicate today. In fact, her original construction cost exceeded $6 million in 2005, a testament to the uncompromising vision behind her creation.The current owners envisioned many more years aboard True Love, investing in her accordingly. However, an unexpected change in life circumstances has made it necessary to pass her to new owners sooner than anticipated. She is turnkey, exceptionally well documented, and ready for her next chapter with someone who will appreciate the remarkable yacht she is.True Love has taken wonderful care of her owners. Now she's ready to do the same for hers.Hours reported in August 2026:Port main = 3,692Starboard main = 3,69130 kW Generator = 418012 kW Generator = 6222Improvements and upgrades completed in 2025 and 2026 include (totaling $297K+):STIDD Chair UpholsteryDockmate Remote System - Twin engines + thrustersHEADHUNTER new discharge pumpHEADHUNTER new domestic water pumpRaw Water AC Pump ReplacementAE Splitter Box, Input 100A 125Staples & Swing Gates - Made with the dogs and grandkids in mindReplacement of Nautic Flooring + Marine 2000 Exterior Decks Cork SandingWater maker Membranes Replacement ServicingNew Galley RefrigeratorChiller Replacement9 out of 12 HVAC air handlers replacedTransmission Coolers replacedNew Batteries2 new Victron Inverters Multiplus-IIASEA 12 KVA shore power Isolation transformer installedStabilizer Seals ReplacementShaft Seals replaced + spares installedTransducer InstallDavit ServiceSpotFree Water SoftenerImprovements and upgrades completed in 2023 and 2024 include:Replace HVAC / chiller system x 2CTM Model CW-60HS, 60,000 btuNew Miele laundry machine WXD160 WCS USANew Miele clothes dryer TXD160WP USANew refrigerator on aft deck U-2074RB-00Replaced mirror ceiling in owner headHot water tank thermostat replaced, many Pex fittings replaced with Shark BiteFireboy system serviced 2025Viking 6 UKLS – 6-man life raft servicedAll fire extinguishers serviced 2025New electronics installed:3 TZ3 19 inch monitors nav systemNew VHF radio in lower helmCONSTRUCTION DETAILS AND FEATURES:Aluminum alloy hull construction with 3/8” plating below the waterline and 1/4” plating above over longitudinal and athwartship framing and stringersWatertight bulkheads – anchor locker, forward engine room, aft engine room and tillerflats.Galvanic protection with zinc anodes / bonding systemInterior spray foam insulation to the waterline and under the decks.Hull faired then painted with Awlgrip Moon DustRub rails aluminum with UHMW rounded support edges8-degree trim wedges on transom underbodyPropeller pocketsMarine 2000 flooring on main deckDiamond Sea Glaze custom doors and windowsFreeman watertight hatchesFiberglass covered, aluminum framed flybridge hard top with opening hatchesFiberglass signal mast with antennas, hinged for bridge clearanceInterior joinery crafted from American cherryBarriga Natural Cork flooring throughout interior living spacesPYI Floor anchors for cork sole latchesMajilite Prestige shell color headlinersCorian Mojave counters in galley and Corian Aurora in Utility RoomCast marble poly-resin counters in head and showers2012 APEX 15’ tender w/50 HP Yamaha 4 stroke outboardENGINE ROOM:(2) Scania 720 HP main engines (branded Yanmar)AquaDrive thrust bearingsTides shaft sealsNorthern Lights 12 kW generatorNorthern Lights 30 kW generatorReverso fuel polishing, priming and transfer systemReverso Oil change systemDelta T engine room ventilation systemTRAC active fin stabilizersTRAC bow and stern thrusterVillage Marine PWV 1200 gallon per day 220 V AC water maker**Trades Considered.  It is offered as a convenience by this broker/dealer to its clients and is
