UNITED SPIRIT held the title of "The World's Fastest Yacht" for 30 years until King Juan Carlos of Spain's Don Shead designed Palmer Johnson yacht FORTUNA, boosted by a Lycoming gas turbine, took over the title. In 2004, UNITED SPIRIT was re-powered with Rolls-Royce MTU's that drive Kamewa jet-drives in order to achieve both superior speed and unmatched fuel economy in this size-range. The yacht's shallow draft (1.1m/3.6 ft) is also unmatched. All this performance and an interior that reflects her pedigree as a "Gentleman's Yacht". Go ahead and compare it to other jet-drive yachts - Mangusta, AB and Pershing that all rely upon more hp and fuel to reach similar speeds.
This is an ideal yacht for fast-passage to the islands, or along the Mediterranean coast. Owner and guests will enjoy the spacious sun deck and the beautiful white oak panelling with ebony inlays, soft carpets, beautiful furniture and warm lighting. United Spirit has three tastefully decorated and thoughtfully planned suites, each with fitted wardrobes and en-suite bathrooms. There is also an additional cabin with a bunk bed and, of course, a crew cabin with an en-suite bathroom and shower.
Benefitting from many upgrades and re-fits over the years, United Spirit is the ultimate 'Collector's Item' for a discerning yachtsman with a sterling pedigree that includes its history in Monaco with Royals and Celebrities as regular guests. Shortly after last refit in 2020, she was stored in a heated shed in Sweden awaiting its new owner and ready for new adventures.
Rolls-Royce/MTU Main Engines were installed in 2004 and have only 240 hours since new!

The hull, including decks and superstructure, is made from aluminum and has been encased with a special class-approved surface covering from FAGERDALA WORLD FOAMS, a sandwich-structured composite, that not only protects the aluminum from salt water, it also achieves a smooth and efficient hull while it insulates the yacht from heat and cold, deadens noise and vibrations, and increased the strength of the hull.
The system utilizes a visco-elastic and completely water-proof glue that withstands the forces between a rigid closed-cell foam sheet and a twisting and flexing metal hull. The coating was appplied to UNITED SPIRIT after rigorous tests, supported by the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. After, vacuum-glued sheets of closed-cell foam were added, the foam surface was then planed to shape.Once reinforcing, fairing and painting were completed, the result exceeded all expectations.
In 2005, after 14 years of service in the Mediterranean and the North Sea, various areas on the structure were opened up to see how well the concept had worked in practice. All surfaces were like new, except for one small section where a broken rivet allowed oily bilge water to penetrate the hull plating and that was repaired easily.
UNITED SPIRIT is currently in shed for KAMEWA jet drive overhauls. This would also be an opportuntity for a new owner to install Seakeepers and new AC's if they plan to bring her to warmer waters.
