1998 Sweden Yachts 37′

Far Niente has spent the past two decades primarily cruising the tranquil waters of the US Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands under the same owner’s care

Description

Far Niente has spent the past two decades primarily cruising the tranquil 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 attention and maintenance. Sweden Yachts, while relatively uncommon, are renowned for their exceptional design, and build quality.In 2017, Far Niente endured the unfortunate loss of her mast during Hurricane Irma. However, in 2019, a new mast and rigging were expertly installed. Despite this setback, the boat remains in commendable condition. With her distinguished flag blue hull and elegant teak decks, she effortlessly captures attention wherever she sails.Inside, Far Niente exudes sophistication. The interior boasts exquisite mahogany woodwork throughout, meticulously maintained with a lustrous varnish finish that epitomizes luxury yacht craftsmanship. The boat’s design showcases a remarkable attention to detail, with thoughtful features such as 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 testament to the vessel’s exceptional design.
