Summary

[edit]
Description

The £2m Ocean 7 Adventurer (née Cable and Wireless Adventurer) vessel moored close to the Robben Island Museum at the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town.

"..she was built for the purpose of circumnavigating the world in less than 80 days. This was successfully accomplished in July 1998 in 74 days, 20 hours, 58 minutes, traveling more than 22,600 nautical miles (41,800 km). This achievement set a new Guinness World Record for a powered vessel and stands to this day. This record is to be challenged in March 2008, by the Earthrace biodiesel-powered wave-piercing trimaran."

More information about the 1998 record-breaking feat here and here.

"In 2007 the vessel was acquired by Ocean 7, a Cape Town based marine brokerage and charter operation. The vessel was recommissioned and transferred to its current location at the V&A Waterfront. The vessel is available for charter, film work and the occasional marine rescue operation."
