Built and fitted out and equipped for shorthanded bluewater cruising: her inventory is extensive.  

APHRODITE II benefits from her many upgrades and is testimony to having been carefully maintained over the years.  

Outstanding presentation for her age. The immaculate engine room tells you the whole story of how well she has been maintained.

APHRODITE II is now ready for her new owners to take them on their dream adventure.
