Timeless Charm, Modern Comfort: Our Top Four Classic Superyachts For Sale and Charter
A classic yacht allows you to experience the romance of yachting, transporting you back to the charm of a bygone era. Not only does a classic superyacht offer a genuine experience, but today, these yachts have been meticulously maintained and regularly refitted to ensure their elegance remains without compromising on modern-day comfort and luxury amenities.
From the classic builds of the 80's and timeless designs to restoration projects, various classic yachts on the market tick all the boxes. Whether you are looking to buy or charter a classic yacht, here are our fleet's top four options offering those standout, modern features:
SEAGULL OF CAYMAN
The 131'3" (40m) classic motor yacht SEAGULL OF CAYMAN is part of the Feadship's heritage fleet and was launched in 1980. The yacht has undergone several refit periods to align classic features with the modern-day. One particular multi-million euro refit throughout 2015-2017 encompassed a new paint job, zero-speed stabilizers for comfort, interior and exterior updates, and a new entertainment system.
The yacht has a high pedigree of design throughout, and for a fresher classic style, it benefits from updated interiors by Patrick Khayat. On the main deck is where you will find the sumptuous master cabin, complete with a private bath area and panoramic views. With enough space to accommodate 12 guests across six cabins and a generous main saloon, SEAGULL OF CAYMAN is perfect for a family or group charter.
There are also convertible twin and king cabins for group flexibility. Typical of the yacht's age, the rounded enclosed aft design boasts general social and dining spaces while maintaining privacy. Further up on the upper deck are more alfresco dining and lounging spaces; there is also a new sun pad here. For wine connoisseurs, it can host various vintages thanks to the onboard wine cellar.
