A beautiful and timeless
30-metre
sailing yacht, Aphrodite
was designed by Andre Hoek and
built
in 1993 at
the renowned
Vitters Shipyard
in Holland.
Her minimal sheer, low freeboard, elegant transom and subtle coach
roof combine to form her beautiful clean modern lines whilst retaining
a timeless nautical character.
The
sleek external appearance and flush decks hide a spacious and
comfortable interior with large central saloon space, professional galley
and generous cabin sizes.
Aphrodite was designed for long distance cruising and she has proven
her sea-worthiness with countless ocean crossings, yet she is equally at
home serving as a base for further adventuring in remote archipelagos and
secluded anchorages.
Following her previous life in the Mediterranean and Caribbean, she has
recently
completed a two year refit and now plies the waters of South East Asia: from
the unknown Mergui Archipelago in Myanmar (Burma) to the majestic limestone
islands around Phuket to the remote Indonesian islands of the Anambas region
in the South China Sea.
"Down below"
a
combination of high-gloss varnished cherry
wood, white ceiling panels and bright
maple floors creates a pleasant and light atmosphere.
The saloon is equipped with a large LCD screen and full multimedia and
stereo equipment.
The
expansive aft master
suite
includes a large queen size bed, separate desk area and generous
en-suite with his/her basins and a full-size bath. It has its own
entrance via the aft cockpit, or access forward to the saloon via the
galley.
Two reasonable sized guest cabins forward with double beds (and a removable extra bunk for children when
required) - round out the guest accommodations suitable for a total of
six adults, plus children.
A modern and spacious bathroom "Head" off the passageway serves as a
shared bathroom for the two forward guest cabins.
A hall around the main mast, flooded with
natural
light from a prism window,
connects the
forward
guest cabins to
the guest
bathroom.
Further forward are the separate crew quarters with their own bathroom
and deck access.
The
yacht's laundry is located in the crew section.
"APHRODITE is a lovely yacht in every way…"
