INVADER Yacht Charter

Start with the obvious anomaly: INVADER is a 1905, 41m Albert Stanton Chesebrough–designed racing schooner that still goes chartering instead of retiring to a museum. If you want a “floating villa,” keep scrolling. If you want to sleep on a living piece of yachting history that actually moves under sail, this is the correct rabbit hole.

Low guest count, high real estate. She only sleeps up to 6 guests in 3 cabins, which on a 136ft classic means one thing: space. Wide decks, real sun pads, and proper sailing geometry instead of an obstacle course of beach-club furniture. Below, you get air‑conditioning, Wi‑Fi and a TV in the primary cabin — heritage lines, not heritage climate control.

Old hull, modern backup. When you’re not under canvas, a 700hp Caterpillar engine handles the boring bits. A crew of 5 runs the operation, so service is scaled to people, not headcount. You get classic schooner visuals topside, modern systems behind the panels, and enough toys (RIB tender, towable tube, snorkel kit, assorted floatables) to keep the “we need activities” contingent fully occupied.

Why charter INVADER instead of another 40‑something metre: because most are just big white motor yachts with sails as decoration. INVADER is the opposite: a genuine early‑20th‑century sailing yacht re‑wired for 21st‑century comfort, with a small guest list, serious deck space and a very simple value proposition — you’re not pretending to sail; you actually are.
