The 40.7-metre sailing yacht Surama, listed for sale with Jamie Small of Burgess, has had a €650,000 price drop.
Built in aluminium in 1997, the ketch was refitted in 2017 at Royal Huisman and has since received extensive maintenance over the years. She was designed by Ted Fontaine with an interior by Andrew Winch and naval architecture by Ted Hood.
A contemporary interior, with a deckhouse and lower saloon, in neutral fabrics complemented by light teak joinery accommodates up to eight guests in three cabins. The large owner’s suite is aft and has a private study as well as direct cockpit access, and there are two guest cabins amidships, each with an additional Pullman berth.
The deck layout has been designed considering both guest use and ease of sail handling. There is an aft cockpit that can be used for dining or converted to offer a secure sunpad, while further outdoor seating can be found between the dual helm stations and the deckhouse. For easy access to the water, a central section of the aft deck folds down to create a swim platform.
Under power, twin 570hp Mercedes diesel engines give the Lloyd's-classed 270GT yacht for sale a maximum speed of 12 knots and a transoceanic range of 4,300 nautical miles at 10 knots.
She has a centreboard keel reducing draught from 6.8 metres to 2.9 metres when raised, giving access to shallower waters and anchorages.
Lying in Turkey, Surama is now asking €6,250,000 with VAT paid.
