Bill and Lorrie, a couple from Annapolis, Maryland, have always shared a passion for life on the water. Nestled near the picturesque Chesapeake Bay, they spent their weekends fishing, rafting up with friends, and cruising on their first boat, a Stamas 320 Express center console. Their love for being on the water only deepened as they explored the area’s vibrant boating community.

Sarah & Will have spent nearly a decade cruising some of the world's most beautiful coasts, from the South Pacific to the Canary Islands. They’ve learned to adapt as life evolved, moving from smaller boats to a spacious Leopard 46, equipped with essential features for family life.
