Now, following a comprehensive refit completed in 2025, she offers elegant sailing charters for up to 12 guests in six beautifully appointed cabins, blending historic charm with modern comfort.
Accommodation includes a spacious master and VIP cabin, both with queen-sized beds, as well as two double cabins with sofas, one adjoining twin in the bow, and two additional twin cabins. All cabins feature en suite bathrooms for total privacy and comfort.
Her generous lounge evokes the elegance of the 1930s, with rich wood flooring in teak, ash, wild cherry, and mahogany. A snug card nook invites games and conversation, while the refined lounge and formal dining area are perfect for gathering in style. The yacht is also fully equipped with modern comforts, including WiFi, TV, DVD, stereo system, and a collection of water toys for on-the-water fun.
Outdoors, the foredeck’s bimini-shaded area is ideal for open-air dining or cocktails at sunset. Forward of the bridge, a spacious sunbathing area invites guests to unwind with uninterrupted sea views.
With a professional crew of seven, SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL is one of the few remaining classic schooners available for charter – a rare gem in a sea of modern yachts.
