We are extremely pleased to list Gunfleet 43 "Active Day".

As a cruising yachtsman lucky enough to have crossed the Atlantic and lived aboard in the Caribbean and then sailed onto New York; I was very keen to see this exciting new brand of cruising yacht when the Gunfleet brand was first launched at Southampton Boat Show .

I stepped onboard and then down below, and was very quickly blown away. For a cruising couple or family, everything just felt "right".

To me she was perfect and I was instantly in love.

You could tell that all the years of experience that Tony Castro and Richard Matthews had, was oozing from every pore of this yacht.

I have coveted one ever since.

Active Day is Lying Hamble, Southampton.

Viewing is highly recommended.

Press Comment:

"One thing’s for sure, you won’t be roughing it. With the space below, and the evident emphasis on light, ventilation and stowage, you wouldn’t need to compromise your standards one iota. The quality of workmanship is excellent throughout and a huge amount of experience has been built into this boat."

"Below decks, you’ll recognise the build quality as being a bit special and appreciate the fact that everything just works, everything does what it should and does it elegantly. It’s a prime example of designing with experience and using technology well."
