Highlights

4 double super king size (180 x 200) berths, 4 full baths, 2 single cabins, 2 x 120 hp Diesel engines, well-equipped, lots of spare parts, currently needs work, everything will be done neatly to sail her again. If you do the work (or some) I will discount. The boat is very sturdy and has taken the beating of 14m waves and force 11 winds. It is ideal for doing charter work and/or for sailing comfortably around the globe, which we originally had planned.

All wood work CNC cut

Asking Price 650.000 US $ / 570.000 €

An insurance survey prepared upon launch (available, in German) has taxed the boat at 870.000 €.

The asking price is roughly what we spent on materials and equipment. Many items are new, or near new or will be new (such as the generator).

The boat has been featured in an 8-page article in YACHT 4/2020, Europe's leading sailing
magazine.

We were a live-aboard couple and have enjoyed the boat life for more than 6 years. As we are coming of age, it is time to move on. Maintenance just gets too much for the two of us, also, we want to be closer to family. We had planned to go into the pacific and complete the circle, but have now discarded that idea. Corona (remember Corona?) has cost us 2 precious years. Instead we have settled to a finca in Spain and live in Mexico part time.

While the boat can be handled well by 2 people due to the many electrical and hydraulic systems (we crossed the Atlantic just the two of us), it has become simply too big for us, and guests just don't travel lightly to the Carribean for a weeks sailing, in particular after Corona, so we went back to Europe.

If we do not sell, we will continue to use it in the Med, but only for 2 month of the year, which would be a pity for this type of a boat.

The boat is luxurious and suited for charter work. We have been occasionally taking paying guests, but in essence, the boat was for us and friends and family.

Since this is a European boat, it uses 220V. While this can most likely be changed, all appliances are available for ex. in Martinique, if the Carribean will be your destination.
