A timeless Masterpiece: Classic Sailing Yacht SKY
Discover the yacht SKY, a paragon of British craftsmanship crafted in 1890 by the shipyard Thetis Ware in the United Kingdom. As the oldest yacht competing in classic regattas, she reflects a storied past melded with modern amenities. Her oak hull and sweeping teak decks have witnessed the sea’s ever-changing tides, just as they have witnessed the laughter and conversations of many guests over more than 130 years. With space for twelve, SKY offers a sanctuary on the waves for those who appreciate the fusion of classic design with contemporary comforts.
Sailing with a Star
SKY’s guest book reads like a who’s who of the elite, once gracing silver screen siren Brigitte Bardot, with its opulence. Her passage aboard SKY has left an indelible mark, blending Hollywood glamour with nautical prestige. Today, guests can walk the same decks and bask in the same luxurious ambience that once hosted this star, all while making their own memories against the backdrop of the Azure Mediterranean.
A Journey Through Maritime History
SKY’s meticulous restoration has ensured that her spirit sails on. A professional crew ensures smooth sailing, whether you’re cutting through the waves in a regatta or cruising the Riviera at leisure. SKY is more than a vessel; she’s an experience, an invitation to partake in the elegance of yachting’s golden age.
