Black Sails

Length: 40.1m
Builder: Wally

Sporting a bold, all-black aesthetic and striking neon red skull, Black Sails is an eye-catching sailing yacht. Delivered in 2009, she underwent a refit in 2010, where she received new teak decks and a redesigned deck structure, and further refits in 2013. She has been lovingly upgraded every winter by her current owner, most recently in 2024. In terms of her performance package, the yacht for sale carries a Hall Spars high-modulus carbon rig with EC6 carbon standing rigging, allowing for both efficient short-handed cruising and regatta racing.

Black Sails is asking €8,900,000 with Bernard Gallay.

Bliss

Length: 36.8m
Builder: Yachting Developments

Balancing both "luxurious comfort and regatta-winning performance", Bliss was designed by Dubois Naval Architects and boasts interiors by Design Unlimited. Bliss is a well-known competitor and is suited to international events, with a successful track record at regattas such as Ibiza JoySail Regatta, where she won the World Cruising XL class in 2024. Racing features include a composite hull with carbon fibre Hall Spars, Reckman furlers, and Harken winches. She can accommodate an owner’s party of between six and eight across three cabins.

Bullitt

Length: 28.3m
Builder: Wally

One of the most successful sailing yachts on the racing circuit, Bullitt's track record includes podium finishes at the Rolex Maxi World Championship, the RORC Nelson Cup and the North Sound Maxi Regatta BVI. She recently underwent a multi-million-euro refit, which saw her receive a new fixed keel, longer bowsprit, upgraded deck winches and a new inventory of sails. Boasting an unusually lightweight displacement of 35GT, Bullitt was designed for optimum maxi-racing performance. Her minimalistic monochrome interiors by Luca Bassani Design provide a fitting contrast to her weighty resume of wins.

Bullitt is asking €7,500,000 with Y.CO.

Asahi

Length: 56m
Builder: Perini Navi

The 56-metre Asahi is a serious contender on any regatta circuit. Winner of Best Sailing Yacht at the World Superyacht Awards, she was launched in 2009, with a comprehensive refit carried out in 2023 to maintain her performance. Built in aluminium with carbon fibre components, an automatic furling boom and over 1,500 square metres of sail area – of which, in 2022, a complete new suite of Doyle sails was installed - Asahi is built for racing. Reaching speeds of up to 15.5 knots, she is impressively responsive for her size. Remi Tessier’s minimalist, sleek interiors accommodate 12 guests across six cabins, providing comfortable, calm spaces after a high-energy day of racing. Combining her charter record and global capability, this regatta-ready sailing yacht for sale offers both pedigree and performance.

Asahi is asking €24,900,000, ex. VAT with Edmiston.

Puritan

Length: 38.4m
Builder: Elco

This almost 100-year-old classic schooner sailing yacht is one to watch on the sailing yacht market. Delivered in 1931 by renowned American builder Elco as the yard's flagship, P uritan was one of the earliest yachts integral to the "Classic Yacht Revival" movement. Constructed in steel and teak to a design by John G. Alden Design with interiors by John Munford, she boasts warm teak interiors complemented by soft, pale furnishings. Her brokerage noted that "her impeccable condition, historic charm, reputation in classic regattas and commitment to marine conservation make her a valuable and responsible acquisition".

Puritan is asking €5,900,000 with Bernard Galley Yacht Brokerage.

Meteor

Length: 52m
Builder: Royal Huisman

Built with both competitive racing and leisurely cruising in mind, Meteor balances a warm, comfortable mahogany interior from John Munford and stable full-length keel designed by Dykstra Naval Architects and John G. Alden Design. Her sailing capabilities were evident right from the outset; during her maiden voyage, she expertly withstood English Channel winds averaging 35 to 40 knots and gusting up to 65 knots. Her reputation on the water is highlighted by her win at the 2009 St Barths Bucket, beating a 34-strong fleet. She also competed in the 2017 Candy Store Cup in Newport, Rhode Island.

Meteor is asking €11,500,000 with Arcon Yachts.
