2004 Menorquin 130 Pilot House Coastal Cruiser

"Tortuga Blanca" is a beautiful, low engine hour, USA specification example of this 43' Spanish-built coastal cruiser popular in the Mediterranean. The yacht's design and build quality echo the history and elegance of the Balearic Island's traditional fishing boats. The brand is known for gorgeous nautical lines, high quality craftsmanship and comfort underway in many sea conditions.

Tortuga has spent most of her life in the Chesapeake Bay area with travel down the ICW into Florida waters and various trips along the east coast. She has been reimagined and refitted with emphasis on increased safety, comfort, and cruising capabilities. Tortuga is currently berthed in Brunswick, Georgia and well-staged for the beginning of a 2024 Great Loop adventure for the next owner. This is a very comfortable, easy-to-handle couple's cruiser and liveaboard ready to go now!

Considerable thought, time, talent, and treasure have been expended on the initial acquisition and subsequent refit of this fine yacht. Engines and generator have fresh oil and filters. Majority of the exterior woodwork has been stripped and re-varnished as part of a recent March/April Spring 2024 refit block. She is now available due to a change in the owner's family circumstances.
