FURTHER BROKER’S COMMENTS:
RED CARPET is a spectacular carbon fibre performance sloop from Vismara Marine. Originally launched in 2010 and named ‘NATALI’, RED CARPET was fully refitted and modified by her current owner at Vismara Marine in 2017, including the modification and lengthening of her stern sections in order to convert the boat in a proper long range performance cruiser. RED CARPET now measures a LOA without bowsprit is 20.42m & 66.99ft (21.82m & 71.58ft as of EN/ISO/DIS rules which includes the bowsprit).
Accommodating up to six guests in three cabins, each with ensuite heads, plus crew, RED CARPET is perfect for fast, ocean adventures, with the practicality of her telescopic fin keel ensuring that her owners can enjoy the best anchorages at either end.

OWNER’S COMMENTS:
RED CARPET is a unique boat in so many ways. She is equipped with large spaces for relaxation, especially on deck, and, at the same time, she is capable of exhilarating sailing performance in all conditions. Her full carbon construction allows her to perform under sail in even the lightest of summer Mediterranean breezes, but sail predictably and safely when the breeze and the sea conditions increase.
RED CARPET comes complete with everything needed for any type of navigation and she equipped with the finest quality equipment and sails, always maintained over time, renovated or replaced during her many recent refits.
Aboard RED CARPET, I had the opportunity to sail over 15,000 miles, including a crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, in total safety and covering over 200 miles in 24 hours. RED CARPET has looked after me well, providing many wonderful experiences with loved ones and friends over the six years I have owned her, and I am sure she will continue do the same for her future owners.
