 “OSCAR” sleeps up to six people in accommodations with the V-Berth, starboard salon berth, port berth which converts to a double, and quarter berth. Like all Valiant Nordic Esprit 37’s, the main salon settees and the quarter berth make excellent offshore sleeping quarters. The interior of the Valiant Nordic Esprit 37’ is dry and comfortable at sea.

With over 6’3” of headroom, “OSCAR” is styled with the heritage of the finest features found in the most sought-after yachting accommodations; bright, well-ventilated with 2 dorades, 3 opening hatches and 6 opening ports, finished in furniture quality teak and maple.

The overhead headliner is maple staves with teak battens, all custom made and absolutely gorgeous and a “one of a kind”.  She features accommodations for two couples. There is a large comfortable private V-berth stateroom forward, with a custom split mattress for easy access to under berth storage, a port & starboard settee in the main salon, plus quarter berth, just aft of the chart table, for additional guests.  The V-berth has shelving, hanging locker, 3 drawers, 3-swinging doors, 2-lockers, one with shelves and 2-doors open a large hanging locker to starboard, 3-storage areas under the berth and asmall dressing seat with storage under and seat. The forward cabin is ventilated by a large opening hatch with screen and 1 opening port.   

Next aft to port is a good-sized head compartment with opening port and separate stall shower and lowboy counter, opposite. The separate shower has seat, an overhead light, opening port and a floor drain, is perfect for use as a wet locker when not using as a shower.

The main salon features a drop-leaf dining table, which folds up against the bulkhead. When in the “up” position, it covers a cupboard with wine glass holder shelf, plus additional shelves for bottles or stemware. There is a large comfortable settee to starboard and an “L” shaped settee to port that converts to a double berth. Above and outboard of the starboard settee you will find abundant storage over and behind.  Outboard of the port settee, there is plenty of storage behind the cushion and above.

Aft of the main salon and to port, is the classic “U” shaped offshore design galley that will delight the gourmet, whether at sea or dockside. There is generous counter space, deep double stainless-steel sinks, 3 burner, Shipmate gimbaled stainless steel propane stove with oven & broiler, hot & cold pressure water, fresh and saltwater foot pumps, oversized ice box, storage racks, built in storage rack for pots & dishes, large cupboard, and trash locker under sink. There are 2-drawers in the galley under the side deck and next to sink is a large dry locker with storage shelves under sink.

Opposite the Galley and to starboard, is a proper forward-facing navigation station and large chart table which provides tremendous room for electronic navigation & communication equipment. Again, storage is extensive in this area, with a large locker under chart table and a wet locker next to the companionway steps. Just aft of the navigation area, is a large quarter berth.  The electric panel is next to the nav station.

Aft of the nav station, there is a safe and comfortable off-watch quarter berth with additional stowage under the berth. The sole is teak and holly over pressure treated ply, companionway steps have non-skid for safety.

Ventilation throughout “OSCAR” is excellent from bow to aft quarter berth and for even more comfort and movement of air; there are 4-12 Volt Caframo fans.

The topsides of “OSCAR”, features a large unobstructed deck and cabin top. Safe & secure deck work is ensured with, double fastened, extra heavy stanchion bases with double lifelines and full length teak handrails on coachroof.  

The comfortable, offshore cockpit is self bailing with oversized scuppers, designed for safety and comfort in heavy weather sailing. Excellent visibility from all positions is consistent with the proven offshore capability that the sailing world expects from a serious bluewater yacht. There is a transparent removable connector fly between the bimini and dodger for use when underway, and a canvas connector to use when anchored and in need of shade. Also, with removable zipped in side panels, the cockpit can be entirely enclosed

The transparent front section of the dodger zips open for ventilation and can be closed for protection with all control lines leading through to the cockpit.  Two stainless hand rails on the dodger top provide safety going forward.

Custom folding teak cockpit table and custom drink/binocular holder attach to binnacle guard and are easily removable to stow if desired when sailing.

Hull color is a classic white and the feature stripe and boot stripe are black. The hatch covers, dodger wind screen covers, Isenglass dodger to bimini panel, hard dodger, rigid windscreens, full cockpit enclosure, stack pack and Genoa cover are black….a VERY classy looking yacht indeed!!!

My wife and I bought the vessel in 2010 with the intention to eventually go cruising. We overhauled many of the boats systems including new sails, refrigeration, sanitary systems, headliner, and interior cabinetry. We enjoyed local trips to the Florida Keys and weekend adventures in Biscayne Bay, but we never managed to carve out enough time for cruising. It has been a fantastic live aboard vessel for us and we are only selling due to a new job posting. We wish the next owners as much joy and pleasure that we have received from sailing this fantastic sailboat from Valiant Yachts!

“OSCAR” has been thoughtfully and expertly designed by the “best in the industry”, combining current technology for both comfort and speed. This results in a deck layout that would do justice to a Gran Prix yacht, an interior with accommodations that are consistent with extended, liveaboard, bluewater sailing, a standard of quality and luxury that those familiar with the highest quality cruising yachts will readily acknowledge. Would-be buyers outnumber sellers, so if you are looking for a phenomenal yacht…. MOVE QUICKLY!”   “OSCAR” is a rare find and is well known by listing broker WHO ALSO OWNS A BOB PERRY RENOWN YACHT!!! !!  CALL HIM TODAY FOR MORE DETAILS.
