About Mosaic

In a word: bulletproof.

Legendary designers Sparkman & Stephens collaborated with the Naga family, boatbuilders in Japan for 1,000+ years, to create the Fuji 40, a classic bluewater cruiser built to feel solid.

Mosaic has been actively cruised in Mexico for the past 4 years. Two families have enjoyed her but we've outgrown her and we're moving on to a bigger boat. She's parked on the water at the marina in La Cruz (Puerto Vallarta) and immediately READY for her next adventure.

You've been waiting for the right boat, at the right price, in the right place, at the right time. Here she is.
