Aventura was originally built by the Danish Yacht yard, which was a part of the Royal Denship consortium. Launched in 2005, she was then immediately taken to Holland Jachtbouw to be revised and completed in the spring of 2006.

Ted Fontaine’s design brief was to create a world cruising yacht for a young family. Safety and comfort were the two most important qualities, but beauty and flexibility followed suit. The lifting centreboard gives access to shallow coastal waters and the push-button rig and fold-down stern ease the interface between wind and water. The flow of the yacht, with three entrance/exits, an on-deck salon and a pilothouse, plus 4 staterooms aft for owner and guests, offer the maximum living potential for a yacht that can be handled by only four crew.
