Our Story
We are Doug and Jan, the original owners of the Kadey Krogen 39, Day Dreams. If your dream is to “Do the Great Loop,” Day Dreams is the perfect vessel. She is currently located in the Great Lakes, the perfect place to start that amazing adventure. Need to wait till Spring to begin? We are offering free 2025/26 heated, indoor winter storage in Ohio! If you’d rather just take her south, you still have time; September is a beautiful month to cruise. Whether you plan to be weekend cruisers, spend the summer aboard, or choose long-range cruising, this KK39 is the perfect trawler.
Day Dreams has taken us safely to so many wonderful locations. We have a million treasured memories of making friends, buddy boating, and solo cruising. This is a tough decision for us, but it’s time for us to let her go to another adventurous couple who will love our Day Dreams as much as we have loved her!
