Adventure is a 2011 Beneteau First 40, a well-proven performance cruiser that successfully combines strong sailing capability with genuine seagoing comfort and practicality. Developed by Beneteau with input from Farr Yacht Design, the First 40 is widely respected as a serious cruiser-racer platform within the global sailing community. Her hull and rig design allow for confident offshore passages while continuing to deliver rewarding sailing performance across a wide range of conditions.Adventure carries a history of hard use paired with consistent maintenance. Originally commissioned and operated by Sunsail UK as a charter and training yacht, she experienced intensive service and underwent multiple repairs prior to her current ownership. This period of operation left visible signs of use on the deck, cockpit, and interior woodwork, all of which were fully documented and disclosed in the pre-purchase survey completed in 2021. Since acquisition, the current owners have invested significantly in repairs, upgrades, and ongoing maintenance to ensure the vessel remains fully functional, reliable, and safe.Since 2021, Adventure has undertaken serious offshore cruising. She was actively sailed in the Baltic Sea throughout 2022 before being prepared for an Atlantic crossing in late 2023. That crossing was successfully completed in January 2024, after which she has been lived aboard while cruising the Caribbean. These passages clearly demonstrate her capability and resilience as a blue-water-capable vessel when properly maintained and handled. With conscientious care throughout both her refit and cruising history, Adventure offers a dependable platform ready for her next owner’s voyages.The interior layout is practical, versatile, and well suited to extended cruising. Adventure features two aft cabins, each with a double berth, providing comfortable accommodation for family cruising or shared ownership. The forward cabin also includes a double berth with ample storage, completing the three-cabin layout typical of the First 40 class. The saloon is generous in size, seating up to eight people around a large foldable table and serving as a natural social hub onboard. A dedicated navigation station is located to starboard, with a well-appointed galley to port suitable for longer passages. A single forward head with shower serves the interior. One aft cabin is currently without a mattress; a mattress cover is aboard.Above decks, the cockpit is exceptionally large and highly functional, offering ample space for both crew and storage. A substantial storage compartment beneath the cockpit sole provides valuable stowage for cruising equipment, lines, and safety gear. The cockpit ergonomics are well suited to both comfortable cruising and competitive sailing.Adventure is equipped with a comprehensive Garmin navigation suite, bringing modern reliability and functionality to her systems. This includes a Garmin GPSMAP 923 chartplotter installed in the cockpit in 2023, a Garmin GMR-18 radar from 2023, a Garmin Reactor autopilot with linear drive installed in 2022, four Garmin GMI-10 repeater instruments in the cockpit, and a Garmin AIS-400 transponder. Additional equipment includes Hydrovane windvane steering, LiFePO₄ batteries, solar charging, and a Starlink Mini system. Together, this electronics and power package supports safe coastal and offshore navigation and provides excellent situational awareness for extended passages.Built with performance at the forefront, this Farr-designed hull features a moderately light displacement and a sail plan tuned for capable sailing in both light and stronger winds. Under sail, Adventure is well balanced, points effectively upwind, and rewards a competent crew with responsive, engaging handling.Adventure is not a pristine showroom example, but rather a thoroughly used and seaworthy yacht with a documented history, substantial cruising experience, and a thoughtfully assembled equipment package. She represents excellent value for an experienced yachtsman seeking a proven, offshore-capable platform ready to continue cruising or venture into new waters.
