Aventis means cheerful, eager, and adventuring  (depending on the language and translation)

Shannon, Ashley, Addie, Caper, and Chance are on a sailing adventure! We live full-time aboard Aventis, a 2017 Lagoon 450F sailing catamaran. Currently we are exploring the Caribbean. Eventually we may even sail around the world! In addition, Makenzie and Ella join our adventures whenever they get a break from college. Check out our blog posts below to see our adventures!
