Aventura 45 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for an Aventura 45 means considering a 44-foot catamaran built in Tunisia and still in production, with owner and ex-charter examples both well represented. The boat's four-cabin baseline and documented volume make it a natural cross-shop against the Lagoon 46, Leopard 45, Bali 4.6, and Fountaine Pajot Aura 51.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin and charter four-cabin versions are both well represented on the used market, and ex-charter examples are common. The reference spec lists four guest cabins and four bathrooms sleeping eight, with a single crew berth and a 28-person maximum capacity that reflects charter use. Aventura penned numerous layout versions, so buyers should confirm cabin count and galley placement rather than assume a single standard plan.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Chartplotter, solar, and autopilot are commonly fitted, forming the navigation and energy core most boats carry. AIS, watermaker, and hot water are often seen and worth verifying for liveaboard use. Less common owner upgrades include inverter, electric winches, radar, and life raft. For a cruising buyer the watermaker and adequate solar matter more than stereos or dishes; an inverter and radar are the upgrades that signal a serious offshore intent rather than a coastal charter history.
What to Inspect
The Aventura 45 is built in GRP with polyester resin using the infusion process at the STGI factory anchor. Hull #1 showed an optional dark beige gelcoat and a hydraulic aft platform. Inspection should center on standard catamaran wear points: bridgedeck clearance integrity, the twin keels, and the spade rudder. Confirm the engine configuration matches the 2 x 45 hp or 2 x 57 hp options and that the 185-gallon fuel and 211-gallon water tanks are sound. Validate the CE Category A – Ocean designation.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These cats typically appear in Tunisia, France, Italy, Netherlands, and Croatia. A short buyer checklist: confirm layout (three vs four cabin), verify autopilot and solar are operational, check for watermaker and hot water, inspect for electric winches or radar as upgrade signals, and assess hull condition before offer.
