DescriptionFjord 33 MS – built in 1973 but first purchased in 1976 and still within the same family ownership. Aphrodite is a robust cruiser combining the comfort of a motor yacht with the capability of a sailing vessel.

At 10.2m length overall, she features a solid GRP hull, long keel and heavy displacement for excellent stability and seaworthiness. Designed by Eivind Amble, the Fjord 33 MS offers dual steering positions, a sheltered wheelhouse, and a spacious, teak-finished interior with comfortable accommodation with four/five berths in two cabins.

A capable classic suited to all-weather cruising. Aphrodite is currently ashore at Amble Marina.
