Avenir ~ Express Series Yacht
Welcome Aboard…Avenir! Custom built for intimate to medium sized groups, Avenir measures 63 feet in length and has a 14-foot beam [width]. Avenir’s main cabin is beautifully appointed with handcrafted maple woodwork and cabinetry. All main cabin areas are climate controlled with large windows for viewing and integrated booth seating throughout. In addition, the main cabin includes a buffet table, full service bar, two restrooms and is also equipped with a stereo C.D. player audible on all decks.
While our crew members will have digital music onboard, you are welcome to bring an iPod or MP3 player with your own music compilation. Avenir’s main deck has a beautiful walk-out aft (back) veranda, a favorite place for guests to gather as the water gently passes by. The upper level of Avenir hosts a spacious sundeck and cockpit area surrounded by integrated bench and bistro table seating. The upper deck is prepared for inclement weather conditions with a convertible canopy for shade and clear side curtains for rainy or cool and windy days. The Al and Alma’s Express Yachts provide incredible tours; their unique design allows them access to channels and bays of both Upper and Lower Lake Minnetonka. Many customers comment on the sleek styling and non-commercialized look of Avenir, adding that they and their guests feel they are traveling aboard their own yacht!
