FIREBIRD
SAILING YACHT FOR SALE
FIREBIRD (28m/93’) is an iconic Palmer Johnson aluminum ketch that combines legendary pedigree with proven seaworthiness.
Built in 1968 and extensively refit in 2026, she offers exceptional reliability, classic styling, and modernized systems, making her a turnkey opportunity for an Owner seeking long-range cruising with confidence. The comprehensive 2026 refit included rebuilt engines and generators, a new Victron electrical system, a full Awlgrip hull repaint, and ongoing interior enhancements, ensuring she is prepared for her next chapter.
Once the largest aluminum sailing yacht in the world at launch, FIREBIRD remains a remarkable example of forward-thinking design. Her aluminum construction delivers strength, reduced maintenance, and impressive performance, while an extraordinary cruising history, including multiple circumnavigations and voyages through extreme latitudes, demonstrates her exceptional seaworthiness.
Designed for a comfortable life on board, FIREBIRD accommodates up to 9 guests in 4 staterooms, complemented by crew accommodation. A protected center cockpit creates a secure and comfortable environment underway, while her thoughtful layout balances classic sailing heritage with practical modern comforts for extended cruising.
With an approximate 3,500 nautical mile range, FIREBIRD is ideally suited to ambitious passages and extended exploration. Fresh from her refit, she is presented in turnkey condition, ready to welcome her next Owner for voyages wherever the horizon leads.
