Draft: 5.58 ft
Cabins: 2
Sleeps: 6
Galley: yes
Head: yes with shower

This boat stands out for its condition and layout. Built in 2004 and sailed exclusively in Norwegian waters, she is well-preserved and has a surprisingly spacious interior
for a 32-footer. The headroom is 184 cm, and there’s plenty of storage — perfect for cruising or extended trips.

Two full-size double cabins, a bright saloon, large galley, chart table, and a proper wet locker. The galley has an oven and two-burner stove. The cockpit is wide and
practical, with a dedicated gear locker for fenders, lines, SUP, or an outboard.

Friends, today we have an Aphrodite 33 (Najad) with a Volvo Penta engine for 31 900 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 10.35 m
Beam: 3.30 m
Draft: 1.58 m
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Aphrodite 33 was built at the same shipyard and standards as the more famous Najad. In fact, it’s the same manufacturer. It was a subsidiary first, later it merged into Najad.

Build quality is equally high – these are real Swedish cruising yachts, made by hand and with great attention to detail.

The boat is well-maintained, with many upgrades, and ready for the season. In spring 2025, the hull was polished and received fresh antifouling.

An Eberspacher diesel heater, an electric toilet, a refrigerator, a stove with an oven, and a water heater provide comfortable everyday living.

There is a TV, an audio system with Bluetooth, LED lighting, soft mattresses with new upholstery.

There is a new tent and a sprayhood in the cockpit, and an anchor winch and a davit at the stern.

The teak is original, the owner says it’s still thick enough (12 mm). Such thickness is good, you can update the wood by sanding, but I don’t like that it is screwed to the deck. Nobody does that way anymore.

Equipment: a Furuno radar, Raymarine autopilot with remote control, TackTick instruments, Garmin GPS, VHF and compass. A solar panel, an inverter, AGM batteries and a Mastervolt charging system ensure autonomy.

Beam: 3.08 meters
Draft: 1.62 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

The incredible beauty of Hallberg-Rassy 312 Scandinavia. The interior is almost in the same condition as when the boat left the shipyard.

Teak deck and cockpit. The steering wheel is covered with moose leather.

There is hot water, a stove with an oven and a refrigerator.

The sails are quite old (from 2004), but they were little used. Mainsail with a cover, genoa on a Furlex furling, a staysail and a gennaker. The lines are out in the cockpit. Part of the rigging has been replaced with a new Dyneema.

Beam: 3.50 meters
Draft: 1.95 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Jeanneau Sun Liberty 34 is a cruising sailing yacht of the famous French shipyard. The hull is built with kevlar reinforcement, which makes it lightweight and durable.

The version with two separate cabins, each with its own bathroom and shower, which is rare for boats of this size.

There is a lot of natural light in the cabins, a fully equipped galley and a nav table, as well as a good headroom throughout the boat (182-200 cm) make staying inside really comfortable.

A complete set of sails: a mainsail with a furling in the mast, a genoa on a furling, and a gennaker.

Reliable Yanmar 3YM30 engine with 27 hp and almost 100 liters of fuel tank. The engine is fully serviced.

There are two 250-liter tanks with fresh water and an Isotemp boiler for 75 liters on board. Hot and cold water in the galley and in the bathrooms, including a shower on the bathing platform.

Webasto is installed with deflectors in all cabins, including toilets, which is especially important for cold nights.
Electrics: a solar panel, a shore power, a 220/12V converter and two batteries (separate for start-up and consumption).

Anchor winch with remote control. It’s very convenient, and allows you to drop or lift the anchor even alone. Although I recommend having an assistant anyway, if possible.

Navigation equipment includes a set of Tacktick (current Raymarine): echo sounder, log, wind, VHF radio station.
