Built in series by the Aventura shipyard, the 37 is a cruising catamaran intended for a couple or a family in an owner's version (3 cabins), but which is also proposed in a charter version with 4 cabins and 4 heads. Its specifications are to offer a safe and simple navigation for those who want to reach the open sea without complications.
To design it, the shipyard took into account the remarks made on the other models and in particular the ergonomics of the helm station. From now on, the helmsman is installed on a bench seat which frees up a space in front, dedicated to maneuvering. Thus, helmsman and crew can maneuver without getting in each other's way.
Especially since for performance reasons, the jib is not self-tacking. It must therefore be eased and reeled in at each tack. Fortunately, the electric winch option makes the job easier!
Even in rough seas like the one we tested, the Aventura 37 passes well and does not get wet. The proof is in the front sunbathing area, which remains dry despite the waves.
At the helm...
This catamaran has elegant and modern lines. There are many sunbathing areas on the foredeck, under the deckhouse near the cockpit, and also on the deckhouse just under the boom and accessible on starboard by a staircase from the catwalk. The circulation with the interior staircase gives direct access to the maneuvering station without going around the skirts. It brings a real feeling of security while sailing.
The access to the engines is done from the skirts by independent boxes. The engine chocks are large and the mechanics accessible.
The cockpit is spacious with a large teak table. We appreciate the ENO plancha option available at the back for nice parties at anchor.
Moving in...
In its owner's version, the cabin occupies the entire starboard hull. It can be isolated from the saloon by a sliding door. An office area is ideal for quiet work. And above all, the majestic forward dressing room is surprising on this size of catamaran.
On the front of the hull, we discover the toilet, a beautiful bathroom in this case, which is really spacious.
The kitchen faces the cockpit. It is well equipped with a large refrigerator that offers a good volume of cold, complemented by numerous storage spaces. A modular saloon table and a real chart table, the nerve center of the boat, complete the layout.
