Owner Comments
"Over the past three years, Bella Barca has been our escape, our cherished home from home. We've taken real pride in maintaining her to the same high standard set by her previous owner. Although ill health has limited our time aboard, we’ve done everything possible to ensure her upkeep has never been compromised. A motor cruiser of this quality deserves diligent care, and that’s exactly what she’s had."
Broker Comments
This exceptional-quality Sessa C38 belies her age thanks to the meticulous care she’s received both inside and out. With just 196 hours on the engines, copper coated hull, and minimal onboard living use, she compares favourably to examples five years or so newer.
