Description
Professionally built in South Africa by Sea Tribe Catamarans, this boat is the most recent DH550 to be built. Due to its owner’s intention to do high-quality charter in The Seychelles, the boat had several updates to the design and build specification to meet the stringent CE European build requirements making this probably the best DH550 ever built.
"Valerie" is a high-end, performance, world-class blue water cruiser, with accommodations for eight in four cabins. The starboard and port hulls are mirror images of each other offering two double cabins and 2 heads each side.
A spacious, airy saloon features lounge area, bar area, an inside steering station with attached navigation desk and a substantial, well-equipped galley. A forward door offers direct access from the steering station to a protected, forward working cockpit with second exterior helm station, while large double doors offer direct access to the aft lounge/dining area with it's extended hardtop for comfort and protection.
