PURITAN

Discover PURITAN, a magnificent 38m sailing yacht and a true maritime icon. Built in 1930 by the Electric Boat Company - better known for building American submarines - this classic vessel is a remarkable fusion of grace and naval engineering. With her steel hull, teak decking, and timeless superstructure, PURITAN stands out as a rare gem on the water. Available both for charter and for sale, PURITAN appeals to lovers of classic sailing as well as discerning collectors seeking a nautical masterpiece. After 25 years away from the charter scene, she returned in 2017, fully refurbished to deliver a sailing experience that’s both genuine and luxurious. Whether you're indulging yourself or gifting a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, PURITAN is a rare opportunity to own or enjoy a piece of living maritime history.

Boasting 4 beautifully appointed cabins - three doubles and one twin - she comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests. Her dedicated crew of 7 offers personalized service, ensuring every voyage is memorable. Life aboard is a true homage to the elegance of seafaring tradition.

Flying the British flag, PURITAN explores some of the most alluring coastlines in the Western Mediterranean: from the wild creeks of Corsica to the sun-drenched shores of Sicily, passing through the French Riviera and Sardinia. Every stop reveals something new: charming coastal towns, crystal-clear waters, and breathtaking vistas. The onboard activities are as rich as the destinations: paddle, snorkeling, water-skiing, wakeboarding, and fishing are just a few of the ways to make the most of your time at sea. PURITAN offers a complete and exhilarating nautical experience.

A rare investment on the classic yachting market, PURITAN is more than just a vessel, she is a historic masterpiece, lovingly preserved and meticulously maintained. Her pristine condition, historic charm, reputation in classic regattas and commitment to marine conservation  make her an exceptional and meaningful investment. A yacht that blends tradition and sustainability while continuing to inspire.

Sail with purpose and 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.

Additional initiatives include the study of microplastics in marine environments and the restoration of Posidonia meadows in the Mediterranean. Sailing aboard PURITAN is not only a luxurious experience but also a step toward a more sustainable future in yachting.
