SANTANA EST. 1935

Romantic, classic, sophisticated, a Hollywood star,

Santana

exudes a uniqueness

that will continue to shine for years to come…



For some sailors the opportunity to restore a sailboat, even one that had sunk, would be thought of as a "rookie move". Why then would long-time sailors Paul and Christine Kaplan, people who have been boaters their entire life, take on such a project?

To them the answer was simple; for the love of sailing and the unique nature of a wooden boat. The boat also happened to be named, "Santana".

Fully restored, Santana celebrates her 75th year in better than new condition. She sails with the grace and beauty her designer envisioned, as a schooner.

After stepping aboard some of the world’s most incredible yachts, Paul and Chrissy agree, Santana is unlike any they’ve ever known.
