COMMENTS
Originally delivered in 2013 for the then Owner of the Oyster Yachts shipyard, Twilight remains Oyster’s flagship and largest yacht built to date, and has only had two Owners from new.
Designed by the late Ed Dubois and cleverly coming in just under the 200 Gross Ton threshold, Twilight is a powerful performance cruising yacht with the kind of space and volume you would normally expect on a 45 metre sailing yacht with much higher running costs.
One of the few yachts her size to be built with a spacious flybridge, the flybridge concept offers her guests significant advantages in deck space terms, and being built and maintained to Lloyds 100 A1 and MCA commercial classification, a potential Buyer also has no concerns on her build quality and maintenance.
The Owner now wishes to downsize, and offers Twilight as the perfect turn-key package for a new Owner. An added bonus for a European Buyer is that the VAT is fully paid in the EU.
KEY FEATURES
- Dubois design, with strong performance under sail and enjoyable to helm, a sailor’s yacht
- Round the world capability with good redundancy
- Always maintained by professional crew to a very high standard and with a good budget
- Good charter record with a loyal charter following and strong repeat bookings
- Spacious and luxurious accommodation and excellent deck spaces
- Lloyds 100 A1 and MCA certified
- Plentiful toy storage including a 5.7m tender, dive compressor and myriad watertoys
- EU VAT PAID (via Maltese leasing scheme)
