Designed by the legendary Joe Adams in collaboration
with her visionary first owner, Corazon was conceived as
the pinnacle of long-distance cruising. Every inch of this
extraordinary yacht reflects an unwavering commitment
to strength, performance, and comfort.
Her hull is constructed from 4mm steel, while the deck
is built from 2.5mm galvanized plate-both coated and
finished to such an exceptional standard that she
gleams like fiberglass. This is a yacht built to cross
oceans with confidence, safety, and style.
Step aboard, and you'll be captivated by an inventory
that must be seen to be believed--spares, equipment,
and top-tier fittings ensuring Corazon is ready for
adventure. Below deck, prepare to be blown away by
the craftsmanship. The warm, sophisticated interior
echoes a New York studio apartment, with a stunning
combination of teak, Cape Otway Blackwood, and
Australian Beech.
At the heart of Corazon is her magnificent owner's
cabin--a true sanctuary at sea. Spanning the entire
stern, it offers unrivalled comfort, storage, and
elegance. While she can accommodate up to five,
Corazon was designed for a couple to embark on a
lifetime of liveaboard cruising in absolute luxury.
This is not just a yacht--it's a dream realized. Photos
don't do her justice. Come and experience Corazon for
yourself.
