Altair joins YPI brokerage fleet

Originally built as a passenger yacht in Istanbul and launched in 1992, ALTAIR was purchased by her current Owner and comprehensively refitted as a luxury private yacht in 2012. Work undertaken included a new hull in fibreglass and sealed mahogany, new mast and booms in pitch pine and mahogany, new technology and new sails, transforming her in to a sailing yacht capable of achieving up to 9 knots in 25 knot winds.

A second major refit in 2017 saw her interiors upgraded to modern superyacht standards. She has been carefully maintained since launch and is presented for sale in immaculate condition. ALTAIR is powered by two Mercedes 195hp engines fitted with mufflers for a near-silent sailing experience above board.

Onboard highlights include a shaded aft deck with solar system light feature, an enclosed flybridge pilothouse with 360-degree views, and two sundecks with sun loungers. Inside, guests can choose from two salons. Accommodation is for 12 guests in six suites, including a split-level forward Owner’s suite and VIP, all featuring showers and sound systems.
