S/V Aquavite for Sale
S/V Aquavite is now on the market. This 1983 Nautilus 40 Pilothouse was built by Aztec Yachts in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada and designed by Henry Adriaanse. These vessels have a high-performance hull design built for offshore sailing with comfortable accommodations for cruising. This highly sought-after pilothouse is unique with two helm stations and a spacious interior layout.
On the exterior, this vessel has a deep, roomy cockpit with storage compartments under the lazarettes. The decks are solid fiberglass with plenty of walk-around space. The helm station is equipped with navigation instruments. The bimini and dodger are new, installed in 2024.
The interior is a unique, open layout with another complete helm station in the salon equipped with navigation and communication equipment. This is a one-cabin layout that sleeps two in the V-berth and two more in the quarter berths in the salon. Two steps down from the salon is the galley to starboard with a cozy dinette to port.
Going forward, the head is on the port side and to starboard is a large locker. The V-berth has plenty of storage space throughout and a large hatch overhead.
S/V Aquavite is powered by a 1983 55 hp Perkins 4-108, fully rebuilt in 2024 with only 2 hours on it. Her sails are in good condition, including an in-mast furling mainsail, roller furling headsails, a spinnaker, and a staysail. She has multiple winches and ample ground tackle.
The current owners have owned S/V Aquavite for 25 years and have been very happy with her. They say she is very reliable and easily sails to her numbers, pointing into the wind within 37°, which allows for quick comfortable passages. She typically sails at a good pace of about 6 knots in reasonable winds and has reached up to 7.7 knots at times. S/V Aquavite has been sailed from Canada through the USA, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and Central America, finally to Guatemala. Since 2011, the owners have been cruising regularly in and out using the Rio Dulce as their home port.
Over the years there have been custom stainless-steel additions and other upgrades. The anti-fouling paint and the hull paint were done two years ago, and the bottom has just been cleaned by a diver.
If you are looking for a proven high-performance blue water cruiser, then S/V Aquavite is a must see!
