Premier Cru

Premier Cru

This powerful, compact and economical trawler yacht has been operated by a successful syndicate for many years in the Ionian Sea, based in Corfu. She has been regularly boatyard maintained, hauled out each winter, and is currently based at the very well equipped marina at Gouvia. Access is simple with numerous direct charter flights to Corfu throughout the season.

She makes excellent use of her spacious hull, providing larger than usual accommodation for up to 9. Her high bulwarks make her a very safe yacht for those with small children, and very generous deck space for soaking up the sun.

She is an excellent seaboat, easily handled with a small crew.
