| Endeavour is now an almost total rebuild, although her lines and quality of workmanship are consistent with the original. In all other ways, she is a modern yacht with aluminium mast and boom, hydraulic winches, powerful engine, generators, bow thrusters, watermaker etc., as well as all the latest navigation and entertainment equipment. |

Her accommodation is for up to eight guests in four staterooms, one king, two queen and one twin cabin with two single beds. She is fully air-conditioned.

elegant accommodation and extremely high standard of catering, service and facilities. She has 9 crew. |
