Designed by renowned naval architect Robert Perry, "CHALLENGER X" is a proven offshore cruising yacht, originally built in 1978 by Young Sun Yacht Corp in Taiwan, with approximately 250 hulls produced worldwide. Known for her solid construction, seaworthiness, and comfortable bluewater capability, she has earned a strong reputation among long-distance cruisers.
This particular vessel has an impressive cruising history. After her initial launch and service in the United States under the name Paradise for nearly a decade, she went on to be extensively cruised by multiple owners across the Caribbean, Venezuela, Bahamas, and North America. She has also completed an Atlantic crossing and spent several years exploring the Mediterranean, Suez route, and Southeast Asia, including Malaysia.
Now located in Langkawi, she has been lightly used in recent years and presents an excellent opportunity for a new owner to continue her cruising legacy or undertake a thoughtful refit.
