The expedition boat Valiente is a 70-foot steel vessel designed to withstand harsh Arctic conditions. She offers excellent comfort and a high standard.
General info
She sails very well, especially in windy conditions! Externally, there is ample space for sailing and staying on deck. Inside, the boat has generous space in the salon and wheelhouse, along with a well-equipped galley. The boat has 6 cabins, most with private bathroom and shower.
Valiente is well-equipped for trips and expeditions, including a RIB dinghy, large tanks for both water and diesel, a dedicated watermaker, generators, safety and rescue equipment, communication equipment, and more. With a lifting keel, we can reach most places, making expeditions even better.
