Rene 36 – A One-of-a-Kind Gentleman’s Cruiser
A truly rare opportunity to own a bespoke gentleman’s motor cruiser with timeless appeal – the Rene 36 is a head-turner with elegant sweeping lines that echo the golden age of yachting, seamlessly blended with modern performance and luxury. Handcrafted by the renowned NB Yachts, known for their meticulous craftsmanship and commitment to excellence, this is a one-off creation that exudes character and sophistication. This boat is offered for sale on a brokerage basis on behalf of the vendor.
Built to CAT B certification standards, the Rene 36 is designed for capable offshore cruising. Powered by a smooth and economical 370hp diesel engine, she delivers thrilling performance with a top speed of 33 knots and a comfortable cruising range in the mid to high 20s – ideal for stylish weekend getaways.
Inside, the yacht boasts a luxurious walnut interior with a contemporary palette of leather and soft-touch fabrics. Curved cabinetry and carefully considered detailing reflect the expertise of true master boatbuilders, while subtle, practical features such as discreet grab handles and uncluttered decks ensure both comfort and safety at sea.
Generous headroom throughout the cabin means everyone on board will enjoy a sense of space, while the layout has been optimized for a couple seeking indulgent weekends afloat. Whether moored in a quiet harbour or underway along the coast, the Rene 36 offers the perfect balance of heritage charm and modern capability.
As NB Yachts proudly declared upon launch, “The overriding ethos of the Rene 36 is to design and build a quality British product that is enjoyed and admired anywhere in the world.” We believe they’ve achieved just that.
