Topic:  

After a thorough 26 month renovation, on April 23, 2023, the Joie de Vivre was re-launched.  The launch was at Stephens Brothers Shipyard just as she was 63 years ago, to the month, as the Amelia Marie.  This has been said to be the greatest Stephens Yachts ever to come out of the Stephens yard in Stockton, CA.  This beauty is the 4th largest and last Stephens.
