Welcome to The Sailing Life, Portland's most active sailboat Brokerage and Dealership.

If you are looking for a larger sailboat, we usually have 40 to 60 used sailboats on our brokerage list. Most of these are boats that have primarily been moored in the fresh water of the Columbia River, and hence are often in better shape than other Northwest boats. Many of our boats are moored right below our office on Hayden Island.

If you are looking for a trailerable sailboat, we specialize in them! We usually have 15 to 20 used trailerables on display right in front of our office. This is the largest selection in the Northwest.

Last Sunday of every month we have an "open-boat" show at our docks and parking lot. This makes it very easy for you to peruse the general sailboat market and spend plenty of time on the boat of your choice without any pressure or time constraints.

The Sailing Life is your Oregon and Southwest Washington Hunter dealer representing this popular line of quality, innovative sailboats from 9 to 50 feet.

We are now also your Portland, Oregon area dealer for Beneteau. We currently have a Beneteau 37, 40, 43 and 49 (showing) at our docks. We have a fine team of salespeople, managers and technical support. All of us work together to be able to sell about 90 boats per year. We bring you down-to-earth, friendly service, making it easy for you to be part of The Sailing Life.

Featured Boat 42' Beneteau 423 2007 US$ 239,900 Designed by the famous Groupe Finot, naval architects with more production yachts afloat than any other design firm, the Beneteau 423 has both brawn and beauty. A confident bluewater hull combined with extraordinary comfort, gorgeous interior woodwork, loads of volume and plenty of light will satisfy the most demanding sailors whether it is for offshore sailing or cruising in the harbor. Sailed only a few times with less then 40 hours on the engine. Heads have not even been used! New Heat, Canvas and Electronics installed this year.
