Onboard SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL in Nafplion.
Built in 1966 for the Cadets in the English Navy, she is a piece of history and one of the most beloved boats in the world.
She is remarkably well-preserved; it's like stepping into a maritime museum.
She has had the same crew for 17 years who care for her with true passion.
She is very accomplished and has won many awards in races.
The captain tells me people keep returning who were onboard when they were young. This is sailing nostalgia at its best.
She also accommodates many celebrities, for example, Maroon 5.
SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL Yacht Description
Start with the headline anomaly: SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL is a 135ft, three‑masted steel tall ship that started life racing in the Tall Ships’ Races for Britain and is now a 12‑guest charter yacht with a full 2025 refit. If you want an actual sailing ship, not a white motor box with token mast, this is where your search quietly ends.
What you’re really getting: a purpose-built sail‑training racer, re‑wired for comfort. Six en‑suite cabins for up to 12 guests, a proper main‑deck saloon with big lounge, dining and games table, and a hull that was designed to cross oceans, not just sit in an anchorage looking expensive. The recent refit means you get the classic mid‑20th‑century panelled interior without the mid‑20th‑century plumbing or electrics.
Outside is where this yacht breaks the template. Long, clean decks, three masts, serious rig – this is a platform for real sailing days, not just “we might put a sail up for photos.” Underway, you get the full tall‑ship under‑canvas experience; at anchor the toys come out: water‑ski, sea scooter, kayak, towables, snorkelling kit and a 5m Orizon RIB to move people and gear without drama.
Why charter SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL instead of another 40‑something metre: because very few yachts this size give you (1) a genuine tall‑ship rig, (2) 12‑guest sleeping capacity in 6 cabins, and (3) a fresh 2025 refit plus modern essentials – air‑conditioning, Wi‑Fi, TV saloon, coffee machine, BBQ and a full‑time crew of seven. It’s the rare combination of “historic sailing hardware” and “contemporary charter comfort” that actually delivers on both sides of that equation.
