Beneteau First 29 - “Whisper”
Currently in Greece
Liveaboard-ready
Well-maintained
Perfect entry into Med cruising
Whisper is our much-loved 1986 Beneteau First 29 and floating home for the past four summers.
We purchased her in Croatia in 2022 as our first liveaboard, following a thorough survey, and spent the next few seasons cruising the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, including Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Italy, and Greece.
What started as a one-summer adventure has turned into a lifestyle. But with a ten-month-old, we’re reluctantly making way for something roomier.
