About Us

We are Tracy and Bob Oliveira from Dartmouth, MA. We have three wonderful sons: Zachary, Jacob, and Cory; thus the name for our boat. As we closed out our careers and our boys crafted their own, we decided we needed something to do with our time. After working our way up from an 18′ center console, we arrived at the Three Sons, a 1990 Grand Banks Motoryacht.  It was the perfect fit for us as it provides lots of space to live comfortably for long periods of time, and also accommodates our boys and other guests along the way. Being a 32+ year old boat, it also provides us with endless projects to occupy our free time as we travel.

Our plans are inspired for our desire for warm weather, spontaneous fun, exploring new places and adventure of new experiences. A goal is to complete the Great Loop but we traveled down the East Coast in the fall of 2022 calling it our “practice run.” We migrated back North in the spring of 2023 and spent the summer in Massachusetts with family and friends. Now, the fall 2023 we are once again traveling down the East Coast, starting our Great Loop Adventure.
