Yacht Description
Proper classic sailing. PURITAN is a 126ft gaff-rigged schooner designed by John G. Alden, built in 1931 and refit in 2023. She sleeps 8 guests in 4 cabins, for clients who want the real thing, not “classic-inspired.”
Deck life works. The aft cockpit gives you covered bench seating around the traditional helm, plus a fold-down table for alfresco meals. Forward, there is open deck space that becomes your sunbathing and stretch-out zone at anchor. Simple. Effective.
Originals, not replicas. Inside you get a traditional 1930s interior with original Oregon pine furniture and a lifting skylight in the main salon, so the yacht still feels like a working schooner, just with air conditioning and Wi‑Fi when you want them.
Cabins with options. All guest cabins are en-suite and air-conditioned, with opening deck hatches for light and ventilation. The layout includes a master, two VIP doubles, and a studio/office that converts into an additional cabin with either a double bed or upper and lower berths.
Water time included. A 5m tender with 40hp outboard handles the shuttles, and the toy list stays nicely usable: water-skis, wakeboard, snorkelling gear, and an inflatable doughnut for low-effort entertainment.
