Overview
‘Exhale’ is an expedition yacht in every way. From its highly redundant systems to its deep draft and its commanding bow, this Passagemaker is begging to see all four corners of the globe boasting a 6,000 NM range. Custom built from a proven Stephen Seaton design at the Ed Wahl shipyard in British Columbia to heavy commercial boat standards. She is similar in concept to the famous ‘Spirit of Zopilote’, only larger. Her legendary Gardner 8L3B main engine was purchased freshly re-manufactured from England, 230 hp @ 1150 rpm. With Twin disk 4.13:1 gear turning a 5′ prop and barn door rudder provides unequaled reliability and fuel economy.
Steve Seaton’s name is synonymous with offshore cruising powerboats. In the last 40 years, he has produced more than 400 designs, many of which are long-range cruisers that define the modern trawler yacht. Seaton’s boats are widely valued for their seakindliness, efficiency, and timeless good looks. The “Seaton look” has been widely imitated throughout the industry, but an original Seaton design has a style and ability all its own.
Launched in 2000, ‘Exhale’ was used primarily as a live aboard until her current owners took possession of the yacht in 2020. The yacht got a new breath of life to a tune of $600K including new hull paint in 2020, updated electronics in 2024 and the majority of the soft goods replaced/refurbished in 2025.
With its unique design ‘Exhale’ provides a full beam salon, full beam aft master stateroom with the engine located forward of midships similar to fishing vessels of its time. This makes the yacht uncommonly spacious throughout. Storage is no issue for this boat! If the dream is to go far and stay long, ‘Exhale’ needs to be at the top of your list.
