Broker's Comments

Berthon Boats have been building quality yachts since 1877 and are associated with reputable builds of all class of boat.

This boat is no exception and despite its age, has been maintained to a very high standard. The hull design gives this boat excellent stability at sea, with flared bow and Naiad stabilisers. Boat handling and use has been enhanced further with a bow thruster, remote controlled electric windlass and powered winches. The spacious decks also give plenty of space for working while sailing, relaxation and entertainment.

Below decks, this boat has a modern, yet classic feel, with thoughtful design, spacious layout with plenty of stowage and space for guests. With separate owner's quarters to aft, comprising a double berth, saloon area and en-suite heads. There is a full sized galley, with all utilities required for extensive cruising or as a live aboard. The saloon area is spacious and light, with plenty of windows and ample headroom throughout. Forward is the guest area with two separate cabins, one double and one with two, full size single bunks. There are also two heads with showers.

With a recent survey and comprehensive maintenance records, this yacht is a comprehensive package, with much to offer and essential viewing for anybody looking for a boat like it.
