For the past five years, we have cruised the far reaches of the Bahamas aboard the Miss Adventure, spending 400+ nights at anchor. She is set up as a long-term cruising yacht, but would also make a perfect live-aboard.

$ 55 000

This two-cabin, two-head yacht is fully set up for cruising in remote areas. Her numerous redundant systems, large stock of spares, excellent fuel economy, and shallow draft will give you confidence to explore far-away islands and anchorages.

Her interior features a spacious salon, a dinette that seats six, a full galley, and a stunning owner’s cabin with a walk-around queen bed. Miss Adventure is truly a gracious home on the water, feeling much larger than boats of similar size.

Whether anchored next to a deserted sandbar or entertaining friends at a marina , you will enjoy lots of extras including stunning custom-made cabinetry throughout the boat, as well as an aft deck aluminum superstructure for fishing, seating, storage, and shade as you cruise.

For you wannabe “loopers”, the previous owner completed two Great Loop cruises aboard this yacht, and he raved about her performance, comfort and economy.

The owners just completed their 2020 Bahamas cruise and are anxious to head to France, where their new boat awaits. This is your opportunity to purchase a classic cruising yacht at a terrific price.
