VARUA

VARUA has to be one of the finest examples of a 60’ to 70’ Cockpit Motor yacht ever constructed.  Pride of ownership, style and integrity is the theme carried throughout VARUA. She is extremely economical to operate with her twin Lugger Diesels and efficient De Fever Displacement hull.  Both give VARUA an extended range in comfort and safety.  Her traditional teak interior has recently been completely decorated using contemporary Ralph Lauren fabrics and wall coverings thru out.  VARUA’s Pilothouse, galley, salon and afterdeck areas are all on the same level for ease of usage both underway and at anchor.  She is easily boarded using her integral swim platform and cockpit with access to the aft deck and owner’s stateroom.  Below deck accommodations include three staterooms each with en suite heads.  The luxurious full width master is located aft with a king-sized berth.  An equally nice amidships queen stateroom is forward of engine room with an over/under berth cabin located in the bow.  Above on the flybridge, VARUA’s extended boat deck and enclosed helm area offers a completely separate FUN ZONE with covered seating for ten, wet bar, Barbeque, tender and jet ski storage and even a portable hot tub spa.  VARUA was recently painted from top to bottom and truly shows as new. All this makes VARUA a “Must See” for anyone looking for a Yacht of Class and Quality.
