Beautiful Blissful Boating Beautiful SeaRay Sliding Silently Sunday - IMRAN®
I love SeaRay boats. My first in America was a beloved SunDancer 230, purchased from Surfside 3 Marina (now under MarineMax). Later, my cherished SunDancer 360—a sleek 40-footer—also came from Surfside 3, purchased there from Brian Duncan as well.
Over the years, I explored going bigger—a 380, then nearly a 50-footer—but ultimately chose to invest in my second home on Tampa Bay instead. Rather than luxury boats, a Ferrari, or even a long-coveted Lancair Columbia 400 plane, I focused on investing in a blessed second home that reflected my vision of solitude, beauty, and waterfront bliss.
It is also an homage to my Lahore family White House (3J Gulberg-3,) now gone after my parents left us. The warmer Florida home is a double bonus when the blessed New York beach home is too frigid to enjoy the outdoor activities I love.
Thirteen years later, that choice shaped incredible experiences—skydiving nearby or jet skiing on the bay in Florida while enjoying motorcycle rides in New York when I’m there, refining and adapting my life experiences beyond the open sea—at least for now.
During that time also came the pandemic, followed by the rapid evolution of modern tech and AI—making boat ownership feel less practical for now. Meanwhile, SeaRay ceased production of larger yachts, though my admiration for the brand never wavered. These days, my dream list leans more toward an Azimut than a smaller SeaRay. When God & destiny allow, I’d love that seafaring beauty, opening the door to faraway adventures across the seas.
Today, as my neighbor’s stunning boat glided effortlessly past my home on this perfect cruising Sunday, I couldn’t help but appreciate the timeless SeaRay elegance I once considered acquiring. A true beauty.
