MISTRAL: Description   back to top

   Mistral was built for Quasar Nautica by Vanderhoeven Yachts of Holland. Mistral is a 22.5 m. / 74 ft. Motor Yacht capable of a cruising speed of 10 knots. Mistral is fully equipped for diving and ideal for the more adventurous naturalist or diver, who prefers the atmosphere of a small boat.

   Accommodations are in 6 cabins with upper/lower berths for a total of 12 passengers. Each cabin has their private facilities with fresh hot and cold water showers and manually operated heads. The main salon is bright and has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Its ample windows give a great view of the scenery. At mealtimes, there are two alternatives: inside, in the salon and dining room, with tables for 8 and 4 guests respectively, or "al fresco", in the aft deck, where all guests can sit together.

   The sundeck has plenty of space to be in the open air for sunning and napping. It is also possible to go to the front of the boat and lie on the cushions near the bow.
