SALE AND CHARTER BY OWNER
Two vessels of great prestige and pedigree, presented by an owner who
over the years has painstakingly maintained their original condition
while also adding all the best technological equipment necessary for
easier and safer sailing.
Sea Wonder and Sea Prince operate out of Monaco and Viareggio but
normally sail between the Balearics and Ionian Greece. The crews have
highly detailed knowledge of numerous places of special landscape
interest that are not on the usual charter routes, even in peak
periods such as August. Concealed deserted beaches reachable only from
the sea; stretches of coast usually neglected because you need to know
them beforehand, from direct experience, in order to get there;
comfortable and safe sailing: this is what the crews of these two
sailing yachts can offer guests. Sea Wonder and Sea Prince are
equipped with the most modern navigation and safety systems, such as
ARPA and integrated LANs, and GMDSS satellite search and rescue
apparatus. Safety is a prime factor in terms of both onboard equipment
and crew training. The captains possess the top international
certification required for professional yachting. To all this it
should be added that highly experienced chefs will delight guests with
refined and varied menus ranging from typical regional specialities to
personalised diet menus where requested. Both yachts are equipped with
a great number of accessories for relaxation and fun: windsurfing,
canoeing, water-skiing, sea-watching, scuba diving and deep sea
fishing. But that's not all: there's a multimedia room and library
aboard Sea Wonder and Sea Prince, plus a Shiatsu massage service.
SEA WONDER
Sea Wonder is a 28.60 metre Jongert ketch of rare beauty whose
spacious interiors and outdoor areas always ensure the right degree of
comfort. She has undergone extensive upgrading of the external lines,
the interior, the navigational aids and deck accessories, the onboard
systems and everything that contributes to making the sailing
experience safe and comfortable. The interiors consist of a spacious
saloon with large windows on the sea and four cabins as follows: a
splendid one aft with double bed and a view of the ship's wake, in
typical Jongert style; one with a banquette bed that transforms into a
double; and two guest cabins with twin beds plus a foldaway. Each
cabin has private bathroom, independent access and a suitable degree
of privacy. As for the outdoor areas for pleasant moments of
relaxation, there is both variety and spaciousness: an open air dining
table, sheltered by the extension of the superstructure and deck, both
of which offer guests roomy areas either in the sun or in the shade.
Then again, the vast flybridge is a fine place while under way, or for
sunbathing at anchor protected from indiscreet eyes. In fact it is a
feature unique to this Jongert and found only on 35 metre plus
motorsailers. The crew have their own quarters with independent access
in order to avoid any interference with the guests' activities, but
always on hand to meet their needs when required.
SEA PRINCE
This yacht was built in 1953 at the famous Abeking & Rasmussen
shipyard to the design of marine architect Philip Rhodes. In spite of
her age the boat is in a perfect state of preservation as a result of
continual works carried out to maintain her initial splendour and to
increase the degree of comfort. An 82 foot steel hulled ketch, with
four luxurious cabins and equipped with latest generation navigational
aids and safety features. These, in brief, are the characteristics of
Sea Prince. In this case too we have a yacht that offers considerable
space for indoor and outdoor relaxation. There's a gas-bottle
refilling station and two tenders: a 4.30 metre rigid keel Novamarine
with 40 HP motor and a smaller one. This means that guests can go
adventuring in safety and comfort, on coastal excursions to discover
little known places, thus multiplying the possibilities of enjoying
their holiday to the full. Sea Prince's interiors are fully air
conditioned and decorated with precious materials to offer a top level
welcome. But above all, her solidity and safety under way are unique,
and any kind of foul weather can be faced with incredible tranquillity.
