AQUA VITAE – Technical Owner’s Index
2012 Beneteau Gran Turismo 44
Lying Southport, North Carolina
Captain monitored and maintained in owners absence with regular well checks
The current owners of Aqua Vitae are passionate about restoring and maintaining yachts to the highest standard.
This vessel has been thoroughly refreshed from bow to stern — mechanically, cosmetically, and electrically — offering her next owner the experience of a “new” boat without the new-boat price tag.
Every detail has been addressed with care, and the asking price accurately reflects the extensive refit investment and ongoing maintenance.
The next owner can look forward to minimal issues and maximum enjoyment from day one.
While Aqua Vitae has brought great cruising pleasure, her owners take equal satisfaction in the process of bringing a fine yacht back to excellence — and are now ready to begin their next project.
