All Ocean's listing, superyacht Caribana, donated to charity

News now in from John DeCaro at All Ocean Yachts that his central agency, the 27.43m sailing yacht Caribana, has been donated to a worthy cause in Ocean Alliance, a research organisation that focuses on whales and marine toxicology.

Caribana is a classic expedition superyacht, built in 1977 by Palmer Johnson with naval architecture by McCurdy Rhodes. The aluminium-built yacht was last refitted in 1994 and can accommodate up to seven guests in one master and two twin cabins, along with one Pullman berth. Power comes from a single screw propulsion 250hp Caterpillar diesel engine, which offers a maximum speed of 12 knots. She was listed for sale asking $1.85 million.
