Owner Testimonial – Outer Reef 730 Classic Motoryacht

At Outer Reef Yachts, every yacht represents the beginning of a new cruising story. Just as important as the yachts themselves are the owners who bring them to life through their adventures, friendships, and shared passion for the sea. For Joe and Donna M., their journey to Outer Reef was a thoughtful one.

After many years of owning traditional trawlers and researching their next yacht, they first stepped aboard an Outer Reef during the Palm Beach Boat Show three years ago. That experience sparked a search that would ultimately lead them to the perfect yacht for their family — a 2005 Outer Reef 730 Classic Motoryacht named COLETTE. Throughout the process, the couple worked closely with Outer Reef’s team, forming relationships that reflected one of the company’s most defining qualities: a close-knit community that extends far beyond the purchase of a yacht.

Today, Joe and Donna are excited to begin their next chapter cruising the Gulf Coast, proudly representing Outer Reef within the active boating community of Pensacola.

The new owners' family plans to restore COLETTE to her original glory and looks forward to many years of cruising, entertaining, and participating in yachting activities throughout the region.

Stories like Joe and Donna’s are what define the Outer Reef community — passionate owners, adventurous cruising plans, and lifelong connections formed along the way. We are proud to welcome them to the Outer Reef family and look forward to following their adventures.
