MOTIVATED SELLERS, ALL REASONABLE OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED

VENTUROUS is the epitome of performance cruising pedigree, from the drawing board of Bruce Farr and built by Southern Winds Shipyard for serious offshore cruising. Unlike many of her sisterships, VENTUROUS was designed with a more ergonomic rig and deck layout to allow for shorthanded sailing. With the crew quarters, galley, engine room, nav station, and companionway to the sailing cockpit all located in the aft section of the boat, she was designed for owners who sail with crew, and/or for crewed charter work. With that said, since 2012, she has been lived aboard, cruised, and delivered by a couple in their 60's, who only occasionally bring on additional crew (often amateur friends/family) for blue-water passage making.

She has benefited from significant money spent on updates under the current ownership and presents as a much younger yacht than her age would imply. She is simply the perfect boat for an experienced couple who wishes to cruise with minimal crew, or for the owner/operator looking to put her into the charter fleet.

Update 7/2023

The owners have recently completed major maintenance / upgrade period at the Newport Shipyard. They commissioned overhauls, or in many cases, complete replacements of many of the vessel's systems to the tune of over $200,000. Some of the notable items from the worklist are listed below. VENTUROUS is being actively cruised and maintained and is expected to function and perform well for her next survey and buyer.
