Broker Remarks
When I first toured ALDONZA in Croatia in 2019, I was truly impressed with how spacious and comfortable she was. As I dug deeper into the mechanical spaces and talked to the crew, I realized that I had happened onto a special boat. Mechanically, she was sound and in good order. As per the crew, the captain had been with ALDONZA, as had most of the crew, for seven years. They took pride in the boat, and it showed. With no idea, I would be touring the vessel and just after a long season with back-to-back guests, I found the boat looking great and in excellent working order. From Croatia, she traveled to Mallorca where I visited her again. This time she was up on the hard undergoing her Lloyds special survey, getting a complete hull paint job and a long list of improvements. ALDONZA was again in Mallorca and just like last time, after a long season I found her in great shape and good to go. The only reason the owners are selling this beautiful yacht is an increase in the number of children in the mix, so they are looking for a larger yacht to accommodate their growing family.
If you are wondering what or who “Aldonza” is, please read on. The original owner and builder of ALDONZA wanted a boat that embodied “ingenioso” which in Spanish means “quick with inventiveness.” For its day she was quick enough and in any era of boat building ALDONZA still stands out as a well thought out, spacious vessel that looks at home in any marina on the Cote D’azur. The name ALDONZA is the real name of Dulcinea, the famed love interest of Cervantes’ “Don Quixote” otherwise known as the Man of La Mancha. It was with this romantic vision in mind that ALDONZA was created. For some, a yacht like this is truly an impossible dream but for those of you looking at this listing right now, that dream could be a reality.
