This Contest 55CS Performance Cruiser, built by the renowned Dutch high quality shipyard Contest Yachts, has been impeccably maintained and benefits from numerous recent upgrades and an extensive inventory. Offering a spacious saloon, a well-equipped galley, an owner's cabin with ensuite bathroom and two guest cabins, she is equally suited for comfortable cruising and serious passage making. Presented in outstanding turnkey condition, she is ready to leave the dock with her new owner. Available for viewing in Valencia, Spain.
