Esmeralda, a beautiful, 24 meters canoe stern really justifies the term motor sailor. Giving the best of both worlds, she offers you a quiet and comfortable cruise, whether sailing or cruising steadily on her powerful engine, keeping her movements to a minimum thanks to her Koopnautic stabilizers. Her steel hull, aluminium superstructure and wide beam provide a safe and sturdy passage for her fortunate guests, and her tank capacity gives her a transatlantic range.  Never been chartered, she is still in the capable hands of her first and only owner who ordered her built. Just two years ago she was freshly painted (Awlgrip, done at Trehar in Antibes) and during that time her teak deck was completely renewed and new carpets and upholstery were fitted. A full beam owners suite, a large upper deck saloon, comfortable living quarters, a sheltered dining area on the main deck and spacious crew quarters are but a few of the features she offers.
