PURITAN: the timeless icon of classic yachting, for charter or purchase

Discover PURITAN, a majestic 38-metre sailing yacht, a true legend of the seas. Built in 1930 by the Electric Boat Company - renowned for its American submarines - this classic yacht embodies the perfect blend of elegance and naval engineering. Her steel hull, teak deck and timelessly charming superstructure make her an exceptional vessel.

Available for charter... and now for sale, PURITAN is aimed at both traditional sailing enthusiasts and discerning collectors in search of a floating masterpiece. After a 25-year absence from the charter market, she made her comeback in 2017, fully restored to offer an experience that is both authentic and luxurious. A unique opportunity to treat yourself or someone else to an exceptional interlude... or a true maritime treasure.

With its 4 elegant cabins (three doubles and one twin), it can accommodate up to 8 guests in absolute comfort. Her crew of 7 professionals offer a tailor-made service to make every cruise an unforgettable experience. On board, every detail is a tribute to the art of living at sea.

Sailing under the British flag, PURITAN criss-crosses the most seductive coasts of the Western Mediterranean: from the wild creeks of Corsica to the sunny bays of Sicily, via the Côte d'Azur and Sardinia. Each port of call is an invitation to discover, between picturesque villages, turquoise waters and enchanting panoramas.

The leisure activities on board match the setting: paddle, snorkelling, water-skiing, wakeboarding, fishing... PURITAN offers you a full range of activities to enrich your days at sea.

A rare investment on the classic yachting market

PURITAN's sale represents an exceptional opportunity for discerning enthusiasts. She is not just a yacht, but a living heritage, maintained with passion and rigour. Her impeccable condition, historic charm, reputation in classic regattas and commitment to marine conservation make her a valuable and responsible acquisition. A yacht that crosses the centuries with elegance and continues to make people dream.

Sail with sense: make a commitment to the environment

When you choose PURITAN for your cruises, you're also supporting a strong environmental cause: 15% of charter income is donated to marine conservation initiatives. In particular, the owners have launched the Blue Regatta, the first plastic-free regatta dedicated to classic yachts, which prevented the use of over 6,000 plastic bottles in its first edition. These commitments now extend to iconic events such as Monaco Classic Week and the Spetses Classic Regatta, with a target of 75,000 plastic bottles avoided per year by 2027.

Other actions include the analysis of microplastics at sea and the restoration of Posidonia meadows in the Mediterranean. Sailing aboard PURITAN also means becoming a player in more sustainable yachting.
