In her current ownership great care has been taken to ensure she remains an intimate family yacht yet her dimensions allow for everything offered by modern super yachts albeit they could never match her charm or 1930s glamour. To read about DEVA’s history hints at the capability of this yacht, totally at home crossing oceans and probably perfect for a circumnavigation. In recent years DEVA has benefited from a devoted crew and owner and she has very few comparisons. Sometimes owners want to move on and having made this decision they will now consider all realistic offers. • SANDEM AN YACHT COMPANY • • Brokerage Of Classic & Vintage Yachts • www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk © Sandeman Yacht Company Limited 2021.
