History

"Shoanne", built in 1961 of pitch pine with oak frames and a teak deck, was one of the last wooden vessels built by John J Thorneycroft of Southampton. In 1964, she moved to Scotland and was renamed "Minala."

In 1967 she became a member of the Profumo family, moved to Eire and was named "Seafin". From 1971 to 1986 a new owner based her in Jersey, Sark and Cornwall with sojourns into the Baltic.

Seafin has been run as a charter vessel by Warwick Bergin since 1986. Extensive and continuous upgrading and refurbishing culminated in an MCA classification as a full class 5 & 6 passenger charter vessel.

She has sailed as far as Italy, France, the Balearics and to both Paris and London. She is now based in Hamble in the Solent and awaits your pleasure...
