PURITAN Sailing yacht for charter

Step on board the magnificent gaff-rigged schooner PURITAN 38.4m (126ft).

Now, though, she’s a winner of famous races and a spectacular yacht for you and your party to enjoy. From her classic panelled interior to her expansive teak deck, whether inside or out, you’re guaranteed an onboard experience unlike any other.

Feel the power of this fine vessel as she charges through azure waters under acres of sails, which contrast against the deep blue sky. Few yachts are as impressive as PURITAN is under sail. Lines taught and her crew working in harmony, she’ll carry you from one beautiful anchorage to the next and draw crowds at the quaysides where she arrives.

Enjoy the morning sun for breakfast on deck as you discuss the day’s plans with your family and friends. Leisurely lunches, too, can be taken on deck, shaded from the sun. Whether sailing or at anchor, you won’t fail to be impressed by the scale and the craftsmanship of this yacht, especially as she approaches her 100th birthday. Make the most of any windless period by waterskiing, wakeboarding, snorkelling or being towed at speed on one of the many towable inflatables on offer. As you dry off in the sun, PURITAN’s crew will ready the boat, either for a sail in the afternoon breeze or for dinner on board. As well as the al fresco dining on deck, there is another dining area in the main lounge on the lower deck, perfect for more privacy or intimate occasions.

Opposite the dining area is PURITAN’s lounge, where you can see the structure of the yacht overhead and appreciate the quality in her wooden panelling and furniture. Conversation can continue in the cockpit with your family and friends. When it’s time to retire, you’ll find the master suite just aft of the lounge. There are also two double berth suites and a third suite, which can be a cabin or an office – depending on your requirements.

PURITAN also provides a spectacular setting for special events and lavish parties for up to 60 guests on deck. With her highly experienced and professional crew in their gala uniform, gangway-only access and the PURITAN’s chef on hand to delight all your guests.

Wherever you charter PURITAN, memories of sailing this grand lady will stay with you and your guests forever.
