Skipper's Dream

History

This Viking 33' vessel was named Billie Thorne when purchased in San Diego in 1993. She was trucked to Stockton, re-named and launched at Paradise Point in the California Delta. She was christened Skipper's Dream to honor Skipper, the families brown curly Portuguese Water Dog who loved all his boating activities in the California Delta. For many years while living in the San Francisco Bay Area, this yacht was our family retreat in the The California Delta, away from the stressful day-to-day living environment. Cruising the vast Delta waterways and anchoring out were our way of life on weekends and holidays. After retiring and permanently moving to The Delta, the vessel was no longer needed as a retreat so it was put into service in 2015 as a hotel alternative to allow others some of the experience and relaxing pleasures of life aboard a yacht without the large expenditures of ownership.
