My kind of superyacht - the Madiz is for sale

(Other)General

'Madiz best' .
Now that's my kind of superyacht and she is for sale. If I were to give up sailing and take up motor-yachting, that's the boat I'd buy - if only I had the 10.5 million dollars.

Yes, the world's oldest steel superyacht, Madiz, still steaming along in style nearly 110 years after she was launched, is being offered for sale for about $10.5 million. And not only does she have the lines of a real thoroughbred and is elegant from funnel to keel, she's had some pretty ritzy former users too, including the British Royal Family.

At 182ft. she's nothing as large as the big bullish superyachts of today, but she was built proudly by the Ailsa Shipyard in Troon, Scotland and originally christened the Triton.



She even served her country in the British Royal Navy as a Royal Patrol Yacht during World War II, and King George VI, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Elizabeth II used her on several occasions.

That's not all. Her looks and prestige aside, there's her pedigree. She is the last surviving ship to have been personally designed by G. L. Watson, the pioneering yacht designer who created some of the most successful contenders for the America's Cup, but she was refitted with Maybach engines and then completely restored as recently as 2006.

She has decks of Burmese teak, Cuban mahogany in the master staterooms and solid oak paneling in the reception areas. The whole yacht speaks to the luxury of a bygone era, fit for the royals, and just right for me. There are stylish accommodations for 14 of us, along with 9 crew to serve us champagne and keep the woodwork shining.

There's only that problem of the $10.5 million... but if you are interested, click here to make contact
