Description
Back on the market at 65K!!!
Far Niente has spent the past two decades primarily cruising the serene waters of the US Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands under the same owner’s care. During this time, the vessel has received meticulous maintenance and attention. Sweden Yachts, though relatively rare, are known for their outstanding design and build quality.
In 2017, Far Niente suffered the unfortunate loss of her mast during Hurricane Irma. However, in 2019, a new mast and rigging were expertly installed. Despite this setback, the yacht remains in excellent condition. With her distinguished flag-blue hull and elegant teak decks, she attracts attention wherever she sails.
Inside, Far Niente exudes sophistication. The interior features exquisite mahogany woodwork, carefully maintained with a lustrous varnish finish that highlights the luxury yacht craftsmanship. Thoughtful design elements include convenient access to the battery bank at the chart table, a Corian countertop with a hinged panel to conceal the stove, and a fold-down shower seat above the marine head – all testaments to the vessel’s exceptional design.
