The 36-foot variant — known as the Bertram 36 SF (Sportfish) — carried that legacy forward with a wider beam, larger cockpit, and improved tournament-grade fishability. The 36 SF remains one of the most sought-after sportfishing platforms on the pre-owned market, prized for its bulletproof construction and legendary rough-water handling.

The successor to the legendary Bermuda 40 (203 hulls, 1960–1991), the Sou’wester 42 combines hand-fitted Honduran mahogany joinery, exceptional offshore stability (capsize screening formula 1.74), and multiple rig and keel options.

At nearly 58 feet, the 585 offers enormous interior volume with a full-beam salon, up to six cabins, and extensive storage for extended voyaging.

Designed by Marc Lombard with interiors by superyacht studio Franck Darnet Design, the 510 is defined by its structural nacelle (rostral pod) housing a full-beam owner's suite spanning 26 feet between the hulls, and its signature elevated salon providing panoramic views no conventional catamaran can match.

Evolved from the Serie 5 platform with 30% more glazing and a completely redesigned interior.

With over 200 hulls launched, the 48 CC has established itself as one of the most proven offshore cruising platforms of the past three decades — combining heavy-displacement stability (28,000 lbs ballast on a 38,000 lb displacement), a protected center cockpit, and the aft-cabin privacy that long-range cruising couples demand. The fin keel with skeg-hung rudder provides directional stability and rudder protection for grounding events. Ta Yang's reputation for solid fibreglass layup and teak craftsmanship has made the Tayana name synonymous with value-oriented bluewater cruising.

1
Luxury Sailing Catamaran50 ft (15.2m)

The Sunreef 50 is a fully custom luxury sailing catamaran built by Sunreef Yachts at their state-of-the-art shipyard in Gdańsk, Poland. Unlike mass-production catamaran builders, Sunreef constructs each 50 to the owner's exact specification — from hull layup and interior layout to materials and systems. The result is the most luxuriously finished catamaran in the 50-foot segment, with bespoke joinery, premium materials, and a level of customisation typically reserved for superyachts. Available in both sailing and power versions, the Sunreef 50 bridges the gap between production catamarans and full-custom builds, offering genuine one-off yacht quality at a fraction of the cost of a traditional custom build. The sailing version features a square-top mainsail and self-tacking jib for easy handling, while the optional carbon fibre construction significantly reduces displacement for improved performance.

1
Cruising Sailboat50 ft (15.2m)

The modern hull features hard chines aft for increased form stability and interior beam, while the innovative walkthrough transom opens directly from the cockpit to a large swim platform — a feature that was ahead of its time when introduced. The 509 proved hugely popular in both the private owner and charter markets, with over 200 hulls built during its six-year production run. The three to five-cabin layout options made it equally suited to family cruising and fleet charter operations.

Moody 41 DS

1
Deck Saloon Cruising Sailboat41 ft (12.5m)

The Moody 41 DS is a premium deck saloon cruising sailboat designed by Bill Dixon and built by Hanse Group AG at their facility in Greifswald, Germany. The "DS" stands for Deck Saloon — Moody's signature configuration, where the saloon is raised to deck level and wrapped in panoramic glazing, providing 360-degree views while maintaining full standing headroom in the cabin area below. The result is a yacht that can be sailed comfortably from an inside helm station in all weather conditions, making the 41 DS particularly popular for cold-weather and high-latitude cruising. As the entry point to the modern Moody DS range, the 41 DS delivers the brand's trademark inside-out living concept in a manageable 41-foot package that a couple can handle with ease, thanks to a self-tacking jib and well-engineered deck hardware. Twin rudders and a choice of deep or shoal keel options give the 41 DS genuine versatility across cruising grounds from the shallow Baltic to open Atlantic passages.

Nautor Swan 54

0
Performance Cruiser-Racer54 ft

The Nautor Swan 54 is a 54-foot performance cruiser-racer designed by German Frers and built by Nautor's Swan at their shipyard in Pietarsaari, Finland. The Swan 54 represents the heart of the Swan range — large enough for serious offshore passage-making with a crew, yet manageable enough for experienced couple-handed sailing. German Frers' hull design delivers the signature Swan combination of elegant lines, balanced helm, and the confidence-inspiring sea-keeping that has defined the brand since 1966. The interior, finished with hand-selected teak joinery in the tradition of all Nautor yachts, features three cabins and two heads as standard, with a spacious owner's suite forward, a well-proportioned saloon with U-shaped galley, and a dedicated navigation station. Every Swan is built on a semi-custom basis — buyers can specify interior layouts, materials, and deck hardware from an extensive options list, making each hull unique while maintaining the structural integrity and build quality that are non-negotiable for Nautor. The Swan 54 is equally at home racing in the Swan Cup at Porto Cervo, cruising the Norwegian fjords, or crossing the Atlantic. The model exemplifies why Nautor Swan consistently commands the highest resale values in the premium sailing yacht segment.

Nautor Swan 62 FD

1
Flush Deck Sailing Yacht62 ft

The Nautor Swan 62 FD is a 62-foot flush deck performance cruiser designed by German Frers and built by Nautor's Swan at their shipyard in Pietarsaari, Finland. The "FD" designation stands for Flush Deck — a clean, uncluttered deck layout with no raised coachroof, giving the 62 FD a sleek, low-profile appearance and a massive, obstacle-free working deck. This design philosophy prioritises both aesthetics and function: the flush deck provides excellent crew movement fore and aft, while the interior benefits from a consistent headroom throughout achieved through a deeper hull section. German Frers' hull design delivers the trademark Swan combination of graceful lines, a well-balanced helm, and the kind of offshore sea-keeping that has defined the brand for over five decades. The interior, finished with hand-selected teak and mahogany joinery at Nautor's Italian facility in Forlì, typically features three cabins and two heads, with a spacious owner's suite forward, a generous saloon with longitudinal settees, and a well-equipped galley. As with all Swans, the 62 FD is built on a semi-custom basis — each hull is specified individually by its owner from Nautor's extensive options catalogue, making every yacht unique. The Swan 62 FD is equally capable of competitive racing at regattas like the Rolex Swan Cup in Porto Cervo and extended bluewater passage-making, embodying the cruiser-racer philosophy that sits at the core of the Nautor Swan identity.

Viking 45 Convertible

Sportfishing Convertible45 ft

The Viking 45 Convertible is an iconic American sportfishing yacht built at Viking Yachts' legendary facility in New Gretna, New Jersey. The 45 is a tournament-grade fishing machine that embodies everything Viking is known for — exceptional ride quality, cold-molded construction, a cavernous cockpit, and the kind of offshore performance that has won more billfish tournaments than any other brand. First introduced in 1989, the 45 Convertible became the most produced model in Viking's history and the entry point to the company's convertible range. The cold-molded hull construction — a Viking trademark involving multiple layers of wood laminate and fibreglass — delivers a hull that is lighter, stronger, and more resilient than conventional fibreglass, translating to better fuel efficiency and a softer ride in head seas. The 45 remains one of the most sought-after sportfishing boats on the used market, with well-maintained examples holding their value exceptionally well.

The 64 bridges the critical 60-70ft flybridge segment, offering genuine large-yacht volume and amenities in a size that remains owner-operable without professional crew. With a full-beam master suite amidships, two additional guest cabins, separate crew quarters, and a 21 sq m flybridge with wet bar, dining, and sunpad, the Azimut 64 delivers a level of onboard living that belies its length. Approximately 96 hulls were built during a production run from 2010 to 2015, making it a well-established presence on the brokerage market.

Sport Yacht86 ft

The Azimut 86S is an 86-foot wide-body sport yacht that combines aggressive Italian styling with extraordinary onboard volume. Designed by Stefano Righini with interiors by Achille Salvagni, the 86S sits in the upper tier of Azimut's S Collection — the brand's performance-focused line of low-profile sport yachts. The "S" designation signals a sportier silhouette, lower superstructure, and more dynamic hull lines compared to Azimut's traditional flybridge models. With a beam of over 20 feet and a wide-body hull design, the 86S delivers an interior volume more commonly associated with yachts ten feet longer. The four-cabin, four-head layout includes a full-beam master suite amidships, a VIP suite forward, and two twin guest cabins — all finished to the impeccable standard expected of a yacht at this price point. The main deck salon features full-height glazing, a formal dining area, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow to the cockpit. Power comes from twin MAN V12 diesel engines producing up to 1,800hp each, delivering a top speed of around 30 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 24 knots. The 86S also features a hydraulic garage for a Williams 345 tender and a large swim platform that extends the cockpit living area to the waterline.

The carbon fibre hardtop with electric sunroof, integrated tender garage, and three-cabin layout with separate crew quarters create a yacht that is as capable at speed as it is elegant at anchor. Riva's interiors in American walnut, leather, and stainless steel are finished by craftspeople at Ferretti Group's Italian facilities, delivering a fit and finish that competes with the finest yacht builders in the world.
