BUY THE RELIABLE DREAM BOAT OF YOUR DREAMS AND SET OFF ON A JOURNEY TO QUET, PEACEFUL LANDS. Extensively refitted in 2017-2018 for participation in the Golden Globe 2018 race. Before the race, a major refit was completed at a Spanish shipyard, with strength tests, new rigging, ballast, and rudder installed. New North Sails, a Volvo Penta D2-40 engine, solar panels, radio, windvane, hydrogenerator, emergency rudder, and fittings for emergency sail rigging were also added. All work was completed with a no-expense-spared approach, making her truly unique – a ‘Land Rover Defender 4x4 of the ocean.’ In 2023, after returning to the Mediterranean, additional work was done including refreshing the cabin interior, treating the teak deck, installing new portholes, custom-made mattresses, AIS and other equipment. Total cost for rebuilding and refiting exceeded €350,000, making this offer a remarkable opportunity. Now ready for a new owner, she’s equipped for challenges in the Southern Ocean or for comfortable, confident cruising.

This yacht comfortably accommodates 6 guests across 2 cabins, providing a cozy and functional layout for families or small groups. The interior is designed for practicality, with ample storage and living space for extended trips.

Powered by a Volvo Penta D2-40 engine (40hp), the Endurance 35 achieves a cruising speed of 6 knots and a max speed of 7 knots, ensuring reliable performance on the water. It carries 250 liters of fuel and 700 liters of water, supporting self-sufficient adventures.
