INTRODUCTION
ADVENTURE was originally built as a Coastal/Baltic tug in 1990, although she never saw use in this role. Having purchased her new, Adventure's visionary owner embarked on a total conversion project with the renowned commercial CMN shipyard in Cherbourg (France) to the designs of Martin Francis and Jean-Pierre Paquet. After 2 years of careful study, hard work and attention to detail, she was launched as a yacht on 26th April 1999.

She has maintained much of her commercial robustness despite the Expedition Yacht look and comfort that she offers. Recently, in excess of $1.5m USD has been spent refurbishing her interior and on thorough engineering refits and upgrades. See below under "2017 COMPLETED WORKS" for a full breakdown.

There is accommodation for 12 guests overnight and plenty of exterior space and deck entertaining areas for up to 70 day passengers. Crew accommodation and the Laundry was completely refurbished in 2013/14 to the highest standard.

The full commercial galley is vast and able to cater for any size event

ADVENTURE is a true ocean going vessel that was originally built to spend extended periods at sea away from any shore support. She's now classified and registered as a foreign-going commercial passenger vessel, range unlimited.


She has literally just been relaunched (April 2017) after a period ashore for classification surveys and upgrades so she's available for viewings now. Contact us to make an appointment or with any questions.
