Steel Bluewater Yacht for Sale – Custom Pilothouse Cutter with Solar, Bow Thruster & Offshore Inventory
This steel bluewater yacht for sale is a 13m centre-cockpit cutter launched in 2004 and built in England to high standards. Designed for long-distance cruising and liveaboard life, she offers serious strength, comfort, and offshore capability. She is VAT-paid and currently lying in Kissamos, Crete.
She features a white-painted steel hull, deck, and pilothouse superstructure. The centre cockpit and skeg-hung rudder provide confident handling and excellent protection. Just two careful owners have maintained and upgraded her consistently since new.
A 65hp Peugeot diesel engine, paired with a reconditioned Thamesway hydraulic gearbox, delivers reliable propulsion. Manoeuvrability is enhanced by a Vetus bow thruster. Her systems support off-grid autonomy, including six solar panels, a wind generator, 2000W inverter, and full shore power with charger.
She is cutter-rigged with a Z Spars furling mast (new 2009), roller-furling foresails, and high-quality winches. A Simrad autopilot with hydraulic drive is fully integrated, allowing for confident single-handed sailing. All lines lead aft to the cockpit for convenience.
Accommodation is practical and comfortable. She sleeps six across two private cabins and convertible saloon seating. The aft master has an island berth, while the forward V-berth is adjacent to a separate heads with shower. The deckhouse saloon includes a compact galley with a 3-burner hob, gas oven, dual fridge/freezers, microwave, and pressurised hot water. Heating is provided by a diesel drip-feed unit and electric skirting heater.
This steel bluewater yacht for sale is ready for serious passage-making. With strong construction, energy independence, and a thoughtful layout, she’s a rare opportunity for experienced sailors seeking a capable, custom offshore yacht.
