The design of the new Aventura 43 once again comes from Lasta Design Studio. Accordingly, the new model also remains true to the current design language typical of the shipyard. The proximity to its larger sister ship is striking: the Aventura 43 is only slightly shorter than the 45, but is around 30 centimetres less wide, which is generally a major issue with catamarans. The design is therefore much more elongated.
Construction: Slightly shorter, significantly slimmer
The design of the new Aventura 43 once again comes from Lasta Design Studio. Accordingly, the new model remains true to the current design language typical of the shipyard. The proximity to the larger 45 is striking: the Aventura 43 is only slightly shorter in comparison, but is around 30 centimetres narrower. This gives the design a much more elongated overall appearance.
On deck, the new model is closely modelled on the familiar and proven Aventura concept. The laterally elevated helm station is retained, as is the separation of the helm station and working cockpit. This is a logical layout, especially for manoeuvres, as two people can work in parallel without getting in each other's way. All halyards, sheets and trim lines are consistently routed to the two large winches on the cabin superstructure. A bimini is also available as an optional sunshade above the helm station. The concept of the flybridge with the spacious seating area on the cabin roof has also been retained. A high, all-round backrest ensures comfort and secure support.
The layout on deck: comfort first and foremost
The front cockpit has been slightly modified. Four large sun loungers are still part of the concept, but the platform now extends further forwards. As a result, the trampolines are smaller than before. Overall, the deck layout remains clearly focussed on comfort and quality of stay without sacrificing the functional orientation of the boat.
The overall sporty rig concept matches the character of the boat. The mast is positioned comparatively far aft, roughly in the centre of the boat, and there is plenty of sail area and a mainsail with squarehead even in the standard version. In addition, there is an overlapping genoa with hollow points on the cabin superstructure. However, a self-tacking jib is not provided as an option.
Extension below deck: Optionally as three or four cabins
The Aventura's saloon interior follows the familiar basic layout of the larger 45. The seating area is positioned far forward, while the galley is positioned aft and thus closely connected to the exterior cockpit and exterior seating area. The large sliding doors can be opened wide, directly linking the interior and exterior areas.
A three-cabin version for owners and an optional version with four cabins for charter use are planned for the extension in the hulls. One significant change compared to the Aventura 45 concerns the aft cabins: The berths there are now installed lengthways to the direction of travel. This is due to the overall slimmer hulls. Separate companionways to the aft cabins, as on the larger brother, have therefore been omitted. In the foredeck, the familiar layout with cabins installed transversely is retained. In both versions, all cabins have their own spacious bathroom with separate shower area.
Attractive pricing: advantage for the customer
The shipyard also offers several engine options. Two Yanmar diesel engines with 30 hp each are standard. More powerful engines with 57 hp are available as an option. Alternatively, two electric motors with 20 kW each or a hybrid drive will also be offered.
However, the most important difference to the larger Aventura 45 is the price. For the new Aventura 43, the shipyard quotes a base price of 419,500 euros net, or around 499,200 euros gross including 19 per cent VAT. The larger Aventura 45 is significantly higher at 587,000 euros net or 698,530 euros gross. This is precisely where the new 43 is likely to become exciting for many prospective buyers: as a somewhat simpler, somewhat slimmer and, above all, significantly cheaper sister of the flagship - without moving too far away from the Aventura 45 conceptually.
