Enedice is a 16.30-meter cruising sailboat launched in 2003 by the prestigious JFA shipyard, whose quality of craftsmanship is regularly praised in the professional press. It was refitted in 2016 and technically updated since 2023. This JFA 53 DS is an ocean-going unit recognized for its robustness, comfort, and excellent sailing qualities. Built in aluminum with a teak deck, this monohull offers high-end features for long-distance cruising.
Its raised saloon is unique on the market for an unit of this generation, providing a panoramic view of the surroundings while remaining indoors.
Equipped with a powerful Nanni N4.115 115 HP engine on a line shaft with Maxprop screw, it has a cruising speed of 7 knots and a maximum speed of 8.5 knots. Its large fuel capacity of 1,400 liters ensures great autonomy. This fuel autonomy is complemented by a water capacity of 1,400 liters.
