Overview

BRAVO - A BEAUTIFUL TAKE ON A CLASSIC VESSEL

- PRICE REDUCTION -


A motivated seller offers a rare opportunity to own one of the finest examples of a fully refit classic yacht on the market today. Bravo was originally launched in 1975 as Mania Two by the legendary Stephens Brothers of Stockton, California, and In 1997, she experienced an incredible transformation, with all work completed by McMullen and Wing in New Zealand, and a re-design by world-renowned naval architect Bill Tripp. The yacht was stripped to her aluminum hull, extended to include a beautiful Euro transom, and fitted with a new superstructure, modern machinery, and a complete new interior. Her condition completely defies her age by the numbers.


Subsequent interior refits and extensive upgrades in 2008, 2013/14, 2020/22, 2022/25, have kept Bravo meticulously updated, combining timeless craftsmanship with modern reliability.


Designed for adventure and comfort in equal measure, Bravo offers her next owner the ability to explore the world in safety and style. Whetheras a private family yacht, as her purpose now, or a luxury expedition vessel, she is ready for her next chapter.


Owning Bravo is not just an acquisition- it's a passage into a tradition of craftsmanship and exploration. She is a yacht for an owner who values heritage as much as horizon, and who wants not just to travel, but travel with purpose, grace, and story.

Descriptions

Bravo's History

Bravo has a long, rich history. She first splashed in July 1976 as a fishing cruiser for a Greek millionaire. It was later named Cygnet Explorer and in 2008 was once again renamed, to Bravo.


In 1997, she was sent to McMullen And Wing in New Zealand where she was stripped to her aluminum hull, extended to 100ft, and fitted with an entirely new superstructure, machinery, interior, and systems - all designed by renowned naval architect Bill Tripp. After the completion of the extensive refit, she was given a new HIN, reflecting the 1997 completion year. After the New Zealand refit, she sailed under her own power back to North America.


Subsequent refits occurred in 2008, 2013/14, including upgrades to mechanical, electrical, running gear, furniture, and interiors. The hard top on the flybridge was installed in 2013. She again had a complete interior refit in 2020/2022, as well as major systems refit in 2022/25.


Interior finishes include ancient New Zealand Kauri wood throughout the salon and dining area. This wood is unique in that it is no long available for harvesting.
