Owners Comments

For us the open cockpit arrangement works very well & much prefer it to the conventional aft cabin version, the covers are very practical and you can remove sections or all depending upon the weather. I have been over to the Channel Islands twice in the boat & I usually try and use her every two or three weeks.

Brokers Comments

In regular Solent use, this rare aft cockpit Triana Tantarella 35 is ideal for use as a day boat / over-nighter. 

This Triana Tantarella 35 aft cockpit is a beautiful sports cruiser of classic design and stunning handling carefully maintained and updated by her current owner since he purchased her in 2018 from the previous Dutch owner who had her for approx. 30 years. 

Designed by legendary Renato (Sonny) Levi, the Triana Tantarella has the distinctive reverse sheer – and a genuine deep V hull trademark of his designs.

Levi of course was responsible for arguably some of the best fast sea-going boats ever - the Tantarella not only one of the most beautiful sports cruisers but also boasting awesome sea keeping qualities. This superb Triana Tantarella 35 has been constantly updated and is a worthy example of this near-legendary marque.
