Built by Palmer Johnson in 1992 and refitted in 2025, 35.75m KNICKERBOCKER is a classic cruising ketch born from the renowned collaboration between Sparkman & Stephens, Palmer Johnson and John Munford. Combining elegant proportions with long-range cruising capability, she embodies the enduring appeal of traditional American yacht design.
Throughout her life, KNICKERBOCKER has benefited from experienced ownership and knowledgeable captains who have maintained and upgraded her to an exceptional standard. Having cruised extensively throughout New England, the United States and the Caribbean, she presents today as a refined sailing yacht of proven capability and enduring pedigree.
Accommodation is arranged for six guests across three beautifully appointed cabins. The Master cabin is finished in American cherry with teak and holly soles and centred around an adjustable king-size berth, complemented by a Corian and marble ensuite bathroom, generous storage and direct access to the aft deck.
