Lynx Yachts has launched its first 27.4m Crossover 27 superyacht Avontuur. The yacht first hit the water on 18th March. Carrying the name ‘Avontuur’ (Dutch for ‘adventure’), the yacht’s design and layout maximize tender and toy storage to suit the needs of her outdoorsy and sporty American owner.
Slim Bouricha, Founder & Owner of Lynx Yachts, commented at the launch: “We are delighted to launch Avontuur following a fantastic and fruitful collaboration with her Californian owner. He is a seasoned and sporty yachtsman who was involved at every single level of the build, and it has been a real pleasure working together.”

The vessel features exterior design from the drawing boards of the Dutch studio Bernd Weel, interiors by the French designer Franck Darnet and naval architecture by the Alkmaar-based studio Diana Yacht Design.
Usually Crossover 27 can accommodate eight guests across four staterooms, including an owner’s cabin, a VIP cabin, and two twin cabins with the crew quarters located aft of the engine room. However, the owner of this particular Crossover opted to change this layout, with Avontuur offering three guest cabins and with the crew quarters also integrated into the guest space.
Avontuur has a large light-filled main deck saloon, 70 sq. m main deck which transforms easily into a spacious entertainment area once the toys, an Air Nautique G23 and a five-meter RIB, are launched. The sundeck is equipped with a crane, and will house two Yamaha Waverunners and two stand-up jet skis. The lazarette/toy storage provides ample space for watersports equipment such as stand-up paddleboards, surfboards, canoes, scuba diving equipment and much more.
The Crossover 27 can reach a maximum speed of 14 knots, a cruising speed of 12.5 knots and boasting an impressive eco range of 1,800 nautical miles.
Delivery of the yacht will take place in April, after which Avontuur will make her maiden trip around the Mediterranean to enjoy the best of summer cruising, before making her way to the USA at the end of the season. Avontuur will make her debut at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival.
