Our Yachts

Our yachts are specially prepared for their role as training vehicles, using only the best quality safety equipment and most modern systems, but without compromising on comfort.

They are clean, smartly presented and maintained to the highest standards for your safety and enjoyment.

Standard features include blown air central heating, pressurised h&c water, chart plotter, radar. Few if any other sailing school boats can compare.

Why rough it elsewhere?

    Santo Cristo

    This beautiful motor yacht – a Beneteau Swift Trawler 42 provides a superb platform for either training courses or private or corporate luxury charters.  Below decks she offers truly spacious accommodation in two cabins and a combined wheelhouse and saloon with panoramic views and sliding doors onto the aft deck.  The extensive protected deckspace is particularly impressive, including a huge lower aft deck, a long, wide and flat foredeck, and a flybridge with its own ample aft deck.  Movement around the boat is safe and easy with solid guardrails – no clambering around curved plastic surfaces as on many powerboats.


    Santo Cristo was launched in 2007.  She is stable, fast and seaworthy, but with responsive twin diesels and a bow thruster she is also perfectly manoeuvrable.  Needless to say she is beautifully appointed throughout and equipped with state of the art electronics including large plotters, radar, AIS etc.


    If you are seeking quality power training using modern systems but in style and comfort this is the yacht for you. 


    If you are looking for a stylish vessel for private or corporate charter and want your party to feel safe and relaxed (and not overcrowded) then Santo Cristo is perfect.
