"BRAVO" was launched in 2020, for the purpose of high latitude exploration, remote voyaging, and general cruising. Designed for highly experienced owners, with over 10 years continuous full time voyaging prior to ordering and specifying this boat, she was outfitted with no expense spared in terms of redundancy, reliability, and livability. Finishes were upgraded to provide a uniquely warm, welcoming interior environment. Boreal advised the owner that this was the most customized Boreal built to date, and many of the innovations have now been included in new Boreal builds, either as standards or options. Though Covid lockdowns curtailed her early plans, she has since explored the UK to northern Scotland, crossed the Atlantic and made two trips to northern Canada, including up to Labrador this past summer.
Her professional maintenance and continuing upgrades have been excellent, and she is offered with a large inventory of spare parts and auxiliary equipment.
Awarded the "Bluewater Yacht of the Year" in 2015, Boreal 52's are extremely rare on the second hand market, and many feel that this model represents the ultimate Boreal in terms of comfort, speed, motion at sea, and load carrying capability. (See John Harries comments on his Attainable Adventure Cruising website, for example.) Current owners' plans have changed, and with nearly a 4 year wait for a brand new boat from the factory in France, "BRAVO" represents a tremendous opportunity to own one of these terrific boats immediately, already set up, upgraded, and ready to embark on her next adventure!
Northwest Passage or the beginning of a world cruise starting next summer? Your ideal boat awaits !!!
