Fredrikstad was named in honour of the citizens of Fredrikstad, Norway, who commissioned and paid for her as a rescue boat in 1968. During her 20 years in service she helped save 11 lives while performing more than 600 rescues. In 1988, the boat was decommissioned by the city and sold to a private individual from Oslo, who used it for exploration. In 1996, she was purchased by Peter de Savary of America’s Cup fame, who stripped the boat to bare frames for a major restoration and refit that transformed Fredrikstad into the stunning yacht that she is today. Under the stewardship of her most recent owner, Fredrikstad underwent many refinements, notably at Pendennis Shipyard, founded by Peter de Savary and renowned for restoring luxury yachts. In 2006, at Spanopoulos in 2012, and at Cantieri Navali di La Spezia in 2021. She offers generous outside areas and can comfortably accommodate 8 guests on board. She is the ideal choice for an owner looking for a piece of history.
