Remarks
VENTURE was the dream yacht of a professional mariner and interior design couple. The boat was built as a retirement platform to spend time exploring with family and friends in comfort, safety and luxury.
Many details were incorporated, such as her performance carbon fiber mast, hydraulic headsails, extensive safety equipment, high-gloss interior teak finish, additional soundproofing in engine and machinery areas, gourmet galley, entertainment systems in all cabins, offshore communications, satellite TV and numerous cruising spares.
Professionally maintained and continually updated, VENTURE is a true turnkey yacht, worthy of inspection.
