SAILING YACHT FOR SALE

A replica of AMERICA, the famous American schooner that sailed to England in 1851 and won what was to become known as the America’s Cup trophy, is now for sale. Whatever port she sails into, AMERICA draws immediate attention from sailors and non-sailors alike. In the world of yachting, AMERICA is a very special boat that is respected and admired across all oceans.

Built in 1995 by Scarano Boat Building and refitted in 2023, AMERICA is a 32m / 105' schooner sailing yacht offering classic character and a proven record of cruising and charter operations. She combines a traditional profile with comfortable accommodation, providing a distinctive setting for private sailing or continued charter use.

The main salon offers an inviting space for dining and relaxing, measuring over 22' wide and 13' in length. A large dining table to port and comfortable seating to starboard are complemented by a collection of America’s Cup half models and artwork that reflects the yacht’s connection to sailing history.
