Description
SOUTHERN CROSS is offered for sale and represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Europe's most distinguished classic motor sailing yachts.
Built in Scotland in 1962 for the British Royal Family, this remarkable 32.15-meter steel motorsailer was awarded the prestigious Lloyd's Register "Yacht of the Year" Trophy for outstanding design and construction. Today she combines historic significance with proven commercial capability.
Currently based at the Real Club Náutico de Barcelona, SOUTHERN CROSS operates as a successful charter and event yacht and holds a commercial Spanish license for up to 65 guests plus crew. She is ideally suited for luxury charters, private ownership, corporate hospitality, weddings, exclusive events and film productions.
The yacht offers six guest cabins with en-suite bathrooms, spacious saloons, generous outdoor entertainment areas, a professional galley, air conditioning throughout and comprehensive navigation equipment. A major refit included extensive hull restoration, fuel and water tank refurbishment and renewal of the teak decks, ensuring excellent operational condition.
Powered by twin Gardner diesel engines producing 230 HP each, SOUTHERN CROSS cruises comfortably at 9 knots with a maximum speed of 11 knots and a range of approximately 2,800 nautical miles.
Classic yachts of this calibre rarely become available on the market. SOUTHERN CROSS combines royal heritage, award-winning Scottish craftsmanship, commercial certification and established charter operations, making her an outstanding acquisition for collectors, investors and luxury hospitality operators.
