It is difficult to know where to start describing this little ship, her condition is first class, she had a complete refit in 2007 which included completely new Teak decks. The list of upgrades is endless but can be supplied. The varnish work is so lovely it will make your eyes bleed, forget superlatives this yacht is
to die for........
However, there is another way you can pamper yourselves in the luxury of this lovely yacht without raiding the piggy bank. We will arrange for you and your special guests to charter her in the warmth of the Turkish Aegean. Imagine waking the morning after you arive from England to find yourself at anchor in the peace of Wall Bay, the loudest noise you can hear is the hum of honey bees working in the Cedar woods which grow right down to the waters edge. The southern Turkish coast is magnificent, mountains, forests with wild boar, secret bays and inlets with enough Greek and Roman ruins to satisfy your thirst for ancient civilisations. We have lay at anchor fishing only to find we are right over the remains of a Roman villa 20' below us. If the fancy takes you you can cruise over to Rhodes and other Greek Islands, so much to see. However if this is to exhausting to contemplate I can think of worse ways to observe time passing than with a good book under a sun awning on the boat deck with a tall glass of Pimms, think about it.
The yacht is yours to enjoy for a very special holiday with two guests in your own Staterooms with a very profesional crew dedicated to ensuring your comfort. Low season from 9,750 to a high season 13,500 euro's, contact me at www.peterduck.com and discuss dates.
