The yacht VADA, a 50-foot Beneteau Swift Trawler
Aboard VADA

Her Name Is VADA

A Beneteau Swift Trawler 50, selected for her comfort, seaworthiness, and elegant design.

Why “VADA”

Drawn from the Italian verb andare — to go — “vada” carries the sense of an invitation: to proceed, to explore, to experience.

It is a quiet encouragement to move forward without urgency, guided only by the moment and the water beneath you. Go where the river flows.
