CERVO, launched in 2009, is a 39-metre sailing yacht from the Dutch shipyard Vitters, and has benefitted from extensive refits at Pendennis in 2018, Orams in 2022 and most recently in 2024/25 also at Pendennis Vilanova.
This sleek vessel, designed by Tripp Design Naval Architects, features a Green Marine carbon composite hull and superstructure that contributes to her lightweight build and performance. With an interior updated by Nauta Yachts Design in 2018, CERVO is as inviting inside as she is agile on the water.
CERVO accommodates up to 8 guests and 5 crew members, ensuring an intimate yet well-serviced experience. Sailing performance is at the heart of this design and all efforts have been made to ensure performance at the highest level.
Fitted with a lifting keel for a shallow draft of 3.8 meters, CERVO grants access to many otherwise inaccessible waters and berths. Alternatively, CERVO offers great stability comfort, and speed with her keel down at 6.0m.
