Description
Owners comments:
Originally designed and built in Taiwan at the Horizon boat yard in Kaohsiung to join our growing yacht charter fleet. She was shipped to Fort Laurderdale and then driven down on her own hull to St Vincent and the Grenadines where she opened our third charter operation in the Caribbean (hence the name, Aurora of St Vincent). She was owned by a private individual from the UK during her initial charter days. We purchase her from the original owner and she remained in the charter fleet in the BVI until 2016. I have been fully responsible for the original design concept, her commissioning, and all maintenance since Aurora was built up to today.
She has cruised down to Grenada and as far North as the Dominican Republic.
Since being removed from charter she has been full time based in the BVI at West End, Tortola and used by my family from time to time.
