Description
Winner of the Rolex Transatlantic Challenge in 2015, the iconic DRUMBEAT is one of the largest sailing yachts built in the modern era and one of even fewer available for charter. Her more traditional interior decor offers guests a 'home on the water' and a comfortable setting without compromising on sailing performance.

After several refits since her launch in 2002, DRUMBEAT is lovingly maintained and her most recent 2019 shipyard period included the addition of new upholstery throughout. She is traditional but light and elegant in her simplicity. Her 53m (173.8ft) length and 10.4m (34.1ft) beam allow for an extremely spacious full beam master suite with king sized bed and en suite with jacuzzi bath and shower. You also benefit from a walk-in wardrobe with generous storage, separate seating area and desk. Your guests can choose between the two identical double cabins with seating area or the two good sized twin cabins - one with an additional pullman berth for a child.
The feeling of space and freedom on DRUMBEAT is largely thanks to her one-level layout from the cockpit through to the lounge, dining area and wheelhouse forward. All is one continuous living area with a partially shaded al fresco dining area on the aft deck. As an alterative, the flybridge offers another area for relaxing in the sun or dining with panoramic ocean views.
Unusual for most sailing yachts, guests have access to the Castoldi jet tender with full weather protection and the crew can use the second fast tender for the watertoy tow action! There are waterskis, wakeboard, inflatable doughnut tow, sea scooters and plenty of diving and fishing gear to keep all the family amused and all can be easily accessed via the oversized swim platform.
This sailing yacht has proven her abilities having enjoyed multiple world trips and her eager crew are keen to welcome charter guests for new adventures.
