BILLY BUDD

Billy Budd, a distinguished 34.25m contemporary sloop crafted by Royal Huisman, stands as a testament to high-performance world-cruising. Boasting a regatta-rich history and 14 years under the current family's ownership, this meticulously maintained all-aluminum yacht underwent a comprehensive refit in 2017, solidifying her as a remarkable vessel poised for new adventures on the open seas.

Her exceptional performance is derived from a fast hull, carbon fiber mast, and spars, all comprehensively overhauled in 2010, alongside a modern sail set. Built for high-latitude sailing and exploration, Billy Budd has demonstrated remarkable speed and maneuverability, winning superyacht regattas and circumnavigating the globe.

Designed by Pieter Beeldsnijder, the Billy Budd’s interior exudes brightness and comfort with a split-level layout, welcoming an abundance of natural light. Accommodating up to 6 guests in a master suite and two double cabins, Billy Budd ensures a comfortable experience. The crew enjoys separate quarters at the bow.

Fresh from a 2022 refit, Billy Budd yacht boasts a pristine appearance with a hull repaint, enhanced reliability through rigging replacement, and optimal performance following a comprehensive machinery overhaul. Notably, a new bank of batteries in 2023 elevates efficiency and reliability.

Billy Budd offers unique features, including a Scania 430hp turbocharged diesel engine for a 3,500 nautical mile range and a top speed of 12 knots. Equipped for exploration, she features a dive compressor, gear for seven divers, and two tenders, including a 4.20m Zodiac and a garage-stored 3-meter Zodiac.
