Exploring the Classic Elegance of DOLCE VITA
Embracing Tradition with Modern Comfort
DOLCE VITA, a Classic 20 yacht built in 2004, seamlessly blends traditional wooden construction with contemporary conveniences. This beauty hails from a small, specialised shipyard in Santander, Spain, known for its mastery in wooden boat building. The yacht's hull and superstructure, crafted from wood, give her a timeless elegance that recalls the charm of classic yachts, while integrating modern-day features that ensure comfortable and safe cruising.
Designed for Leisure and Longer Journeys
Though primarily used for shorter trips, DOLCE VITA's fuel range allows for extended coastal voyages. Her romantic exterior lines transport viewers to another era, while her contemporary amenities ensure a pleasant and luxurious experience on board. One standout feature is the hydraulic mechanism that opens the stern to reveal a bathing platform, complete with a folding ladder, making sea access a breeze.
Comfortable Communal Spaces
The cockpit of DOLCE VITA serves as a spacious communal area, featuring a saloon, dining room, and galley. The galley, located furthest aft, is cleverly designed with wooden cupboards concealing all appliances, including a central aisle that offers pull-out and folding extensions for extra workspace. The forward section is dedicated to the saloon and dining area, which includes an L-shaped sofa and a folding leaf table that can accommodate up to ten guests.
Modern Amenities and Luxurious Accommodations
DOLCE VITA has air conditioning, an audio-video system, a dishwasher, a washing machine, an oven, hob plates, an ice maker, an outside barbecue, and TVs in most cabins. There is also a fridge and freezer, ensuring all the comforts of home at sea.
The yacht can comfortably sleep six passengers, with accommodations split between the forward and aft sections. The owner's full-beam cabin is located at the aft and features a spacious study and ample built-in storage. This cabin has direct access to the cockpit and an en-suite bathroom with sliding screens separating the shower and lavatory. Forward accommodations include a double cabin and a twin cabin with sliding doors for privacy. One of these cabins has a private bathroom, while the other shares facilities with the double cabin. The bathrooms are tastefully decorated with wood, enhancing the yacht's classic appeal.
