ROYAL HUISMAN 84' Custom Frers Sloop à vendre (1992) dans Venice, Italie

Some yachts are phenomenal – to me 84' Custom Frers Sloop, METOLIUS is such a yacht. Designed by German Frers she is both fast and graceful. Her interior styling by Peter Beeldsnijder has provided a luxurious but with timeless interior. The build by Royal Huisman has produced a top quality, robust and very well-engineered vessel.

Do not be dissuaded by her years or miles – METOLIUS is iconic, special and ready for further adventures.
