Trident Voyager 30 – 1996 - £29,500
One of the last built of the popular Trident Voyager 30s (1996). This yacht is simply breathtaking! She is owned by a skilled boatbuilder who has lavished huge amounts of time on her, making her certainly the best example you will ever find.
The attention to detail and the high quality of the fittings and modifications are a credit to the owner. An almost brand-new 30hp diesel engine (only around 20 hours!) and a bow thruster have been fitted to aid marina handling.
This is not a standard Voyager 30. When new, she was fitted out for the first owner with an easily handled cutter rig and a very substantial stainless-steel bowsprit and aft gantry/arch.
While she was designed with a substantial deckhouse, giving remarkable space below for a 30-foot yacht, Trident Marine always marketed the Voyager 30 as a proper sailing yacht rather than a staid motor-sailer. She is a really solid and capable long-keel yacht with excellent offshore and go-anywhere potential, or even as a comfortable live-aboard.
She has been very keenly priced given the outstanding condition, and these don’t come on the market very often, and certainly not in this condition!
If you are looking for a safe & roomy cruiser that could be sailed away for the season with everything done that needs doing, this is the one for you!
