For Colin and Linda Le Conte, Southern Brittany held allure that their new Princess V50, dubbed as Echo Beach, couldn’t resist. Packed with spellbinding vistas and a climate that mesmerises, Southern Brittany promised an unforgettable sailing experience. The waves held a captivating mystery, prone to smaller tides than Northern Brittany and Normandy, which hinted at a serene voyage. The primary challenge was whether the quaint marinas and harbours could accommodate their 15-meter yacht and provide adequate fuel given the card limit of €180. The answer to their adventure lay within the journey itself.
The grandeur of the ocean, coupled with the ability to explore it in style, has always fascinated seafarers. For the chosen few, such adventures are no mere fantasies, but celebrated realities. Among the ships enabling these journeys is the spectacular 58-metre Abeking & Rasmussen motor yacht known as Amaral.
Formerly named Lady Sheridan, Amaral has journeyed from the docks of the German manufacturing yard to the paws of a new owner. The completion of its sale was set into motion by Matthew Ruane of Cecil Wright & Partners and Merle Wood of Merle Wood & Associates. These representatives for the seller, along with Rytis Babravicius of Ocean Independence representing the buyer, contributed to the transition.
