The Narrative

WATCH THE FULL WALKTHROUGH VIDEO ON THIS PAGE

Built in 1960 by Clelands Shipbuilding Co. Ltd in the United Kingdom, this 33.83-meter steel-hulled motor yacht combines classic Frederick R. Parker naval architecture with extensive modern upgrades. While she retains the robust seakeeping capabilities of her era, a comprehensive refit concluded in 2022/2023 has modernized her mechanical systems, interior aesthetic, and operational efficiency.

The vessel’s interior has undergone a total transformation, replacing vintage styling with a fresh, white contemporary finish throughout the guest areas. The main salon and the forward main deck lounge utilize this new design scheme to maximize perceived space and light. Accommodation is arranged for eight guests across four cabins. Uniquely for a vessel of this vintage, the layout offers excellent privacy; the full-beam Master Suite is situated separately on the lower foredeck with its own ensuite facilities. The three additional guest cabins—comprising one VIP suite and two Twin cabins—are located in a separate compartment aft, each with private ensuite heads.

Externally, the yacht is equipped for extended autonomous cruising. The topsides were repainted during the recent yard period, and a high-capacity crane was installed on the foredeck to facilitate tender operations. Significant attention has been paid to energy management; the vessel now features a large solar array paired with a Lithium-Ion battery bank, allowing for reduced generator usage at anchor. The galley has been updated with modern appliances, and the bridge is fitted with new navigation and communication equipment, ensuring this classic vessel meets current operational standards.
