Veritas: a new classic charter yacht at Nanny Cay
Veritas, a white hulled, 57’ classic yacht now graces the marina at Nanny Cay. Commissioned as a private leisure vessel, Veritas was built by the famed Abeking and Rasmussen yard in Germany in 1962.
Veritas recently underwent a major refit and is now available for crewed day sails and corporate or term charters. Guests can choose from a gourmet catered, luxury package to a more simple charter sailng the Virgin Islands on a yacht that recalls the yesteryear of nautical romance and adventure.
