Top 10 largest sailing yachts on the market

SYT takes a closer look at the top 10 largest sailing yachts currently on the market.

The 55-metre motor sailor yacht Meira was launched in Bodrum on Friday 30th March. Built by the Turkish shipyard Neta Marine, construction was originally started more than a decade ago by Sultan Marine. She was purchased by her current owners a few years ago, who plan to place Meira on the charter market with Salmakis Yachting upon completion.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/31281/image/large-00413c46c41b1224911897b1677f4292.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/31281"> Meira features both original exterior and interior design by Evan K Marshall, with naval architecture undertaken by Fuat Turan. On board, she accommodates up to 12 guests on board across a six cabin layout, including a generous master suite on the main deck, three VIP cabins, and two twin cabins.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/31280/image/large-d35763109c684f538f433dd2ff7dfdbf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/31280"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/31283/image/large-2392b9eff567b5555f9cf0744eff4b8c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/31283"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/31284/image/large-d51dc86c3207b3f0c50d32a27db0d459.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/31284"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/31285/image/large-4392ae3143400f51001b11af96aa39ae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/31285"> She will make her debut later this month at the TYBA Yacht Charter Show in Yalıkavak Marina.

55m motor sailor Meira launched in Turkey

Salmakis Yachting in Turkey is currently overseeing the construction of a 50m motor sailer at the Neta Marine shipyard based in Bodrum. The project was initially started by the shipyard for an owner but has since been acquired by their partner company Salmakis Yachting who will oversee the remainder of the build.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/156663/image/large-edef4b7cde5cba4ac3fe5896d24b31fe.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/156663">The yacht is expected to be launched in the summer of 2017, and is being constructed according to RINA’s classification standards. Built with a steel hull and superstructure, the yacht’s overall length will eventually be 54m, which includes the 4m bowsprit. She will accommodate 12 guests across 6 guest cabins.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/156664/image/large-258d91f342b60dad69e62fef3a38bd32.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/156664">The schooner has been designed by the renowned Evan K. Marshall. Her timeless exterior blends the grace of a classic sailing yacht with the luxury and space found on a motor yacht. Her hull shape allows for generous guest accommodations on the lower deck.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/156665/image/large-a552f63bf93037bda37d8586f223a976.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/156665">A 40m project, named Alia, is also currently at the yard. Salamakis Yachting tells us that progress on this project has been sporadic and has, for the meantime, been put on hold.By Charl van Rooy

What separates her from other charter vessels in the region is the level of luxury invested in her design. She gives the grace, class and elegance of a traditional classic yacht, yet has the performance and amenities of a modern one. Strong, classic lines, combined with her tall rigging give her a sense of real character. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124325/image/large-044fd85305347512babec371864c4aa5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124325">Charter guests can choose to either, sit back and enjoy the experience or take a more active role alongside the experienced and professional crew.

Music, delivered through a Bose entertainment system adds to the overall ambience and can be piped through to all decks for the guests’ pleasure. Sumptuous Cuisine Guests can enjoy a variety of cuisines, on either of these decks or inside the main air-conditioned salon, prepared, according to individual taste, by Queen of Andaman’s Chef. In addition to a range of European foods, the Chef specialises in preparing delicious and exciting Asian cuisine, tailor-made to individual tastes. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124331/image/large-34335c3b157c75c817aabe7d2bec18eb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124331">Guests are invited to complete a comprehensive preference request, highlighting the types of food they prefer, cooking and taste preferences, along with any special dietary requirements.

What’s more, the bathrooms are roomy, have two wash basins and a modern shower unit with lots of space. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124333/image/large-cef6378d5a90d9913d3e870b61c6207b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124333">Guests will be pampered not only by the soft logo’d bed linen and towels, and upholstered chairs, but by the sheer space they have to move around these luxury cabins. There is also the option of an extra cabin being made available for nannies, PA’s or fitness instructors, which can accommodate up to two more guests. Water Sports Equipment Queen of Andaman has a wide range of the newest and most modern water sports equipment for the guests’ enjoyment including a Sea Doo GTX Jet Ski, two Mistral windsurfers, two kayaks, and snorkeling and fishing equipment. Additionally, she carries Scuba diving gear, a Bauer compressor, water skiing equipment and has two tenders, a Zodiac 4.7M and a Boston Whaler 150. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124334/image/large-6a9118b6e36451259137b7e8c0620c19.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124334">Whether it’s diving, or fishing, water skiing, or exploring caves in a kayak, South East Asia has it all. The region has an ideal temperature and the waters are clear and warm making it an ideal place for water sports enthusiasts. Moreover, we are able to arrange local dive guides who have an excellent knowledge of not only the best dive sites, but more importantly, the best time to visit them. Endless Possibilities Queen of Andaman will be based in the amazingly diverse and geographically beautiful region of South East Asia because of its exotic beaches, pristine waters, year-round warm temperatures and charming, friendly local people. Then there are the many deserted, tropical islands within close proximity of Phuket with lush vegetation, glistening white sand beaches and an abundance of sea life. Phang Nga Bay just north of Phuket is particularly spectacular with a wealth of towering limestone rock formations combining with the azure waters, deep caves and sheltered lagoons. A truly fascinating area to explore! <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124335/image/large-14ff2e9540b3246f60d97e2a60196236.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124335">Add to this a number of wonderful possibilities to explore the un-spoilt Andaman Islands, Burma’s multitude of deserted islands, the adventurous Borneo and the striking beauty and diversity of Indonesia’s numerous islands, and it is clear to sea that the region offers countless possibilities for a unique luxury yacht charter experience aboard the Queen of Andaman. Charter Rate Charter rate: 40,000 euros per week (MYBA terms). Charter rate is 44,000 euros per week.
