Guillemot 43 meter sailing yacht for charter

Guillemot – 43 meter Vitters sailing yacht combining performance and timeless elegance

Guillemot is an exceptional 43-meter sailing yacht, built in 2004 by the renowned Dutch shipyard Vitters and designed by celebrated naval architect Ed Dubois. Created as a genuine high-performance world-cruising yacht, she combines impressive sailing capabilities and proven seaworthiness with the comfort, space and refinement expected from a luxury superyacht.

Meticulously maintained throughout her life and most recently updated in 2021, Guillemot remains in outstanding condition for her charter guests. Her refreshed interiors, beautifully maintained teak decks and thoughtfully upgraded guest areas give her a contemporary feel while preserving the timeless character of this remarkable sailing yacht. Ten guests are accommodated in five elegant cabins and looked after by a highly experienced crew of seven, ensuring attentive and professional service throughout the charter.

Refined accommodation for ten guests

Guillemot accommodates up to ten guests in five beautifully appointed en-suite cabins, offering an excellent configuration for families or groups of friends.

Her impressive split-level master suite is located aft and provides a particularly private retreat. In addition to the sleeping area, guests benefit from a dedicated study, separate dressing room and generous walk-in wardrobe, creating a wonderfully spacious environment in which to relax away from the yacht’s main social areas.

Two elegant double VIP cabins and two comfortable twin cabins complete the accommodation. Each has its own en-suite bathroom and reflects the same calm, contemporary aesthetic found throughout the yacht.

Following the 2021 interior updates, refreshed soft furnishings and a carefully considered colour palette complement Guillemot’s birchwood detailing, freshly oiled teak flooring and elegant stainless-steel accents, creating an atmosphere that feels sophisticated yet warm and welcoming.

Contemporary interiors with timeless character

The interiors of Guillemot were designed by Dick Young Designs and combine modern comfort with understated elegance. Light woods, soft textures and subtle touches of colour create an inviting environment that feels perfectly suited to extended time at sea.

The main salon is arranged across two levels and offers a comfortable lounge area alongside a dedicated study space. Natural light enhances the sense of openness, while the upper level connects seamlessly with the wheelhouse and cockpit, allowing guests to remain close to the sailing experience even when enjoying the comfort of the interior.

Her 2021 update included improvements to the salon, cockpit and guest bathrooms, ensuring that the yacht continues to feel fresh, modern and beautifully maintained while retaining the character of her original design.

Exceptional performance under sail

Guillemot was conceived first and foremost as a serious sailing yacht. Built by Vitters and shaped by the design expertise of Ed Dubois, she has completed multiple ocean crossings and combines exhilarating performance with the confidence and comfort required for long-distance cruising.

Her sleek hull, balanced sailing characteristics and proven offshore pedigree make her a particularly appealing choice for guests who truly appreciate life under sail. At the same time, she remains wonderfully comfortable for guests who simply wish to enjoy the elegance and serenity of cruising aboard a pedigree sailing yacht.

A long-standing and highly experienced Captain, supported by a professional crew, brings a wealth of sailing knowledge to every charter and ensures that guests can enjoy Guillemot’s capabilities to their fullest.

Relaxed outdoor living

Guillemot’s exterior spaces have been designed to preserve her clean sailing profile while still providing generous areas for guests to dine, socialise and relax.

The protected cockpit offers a comfortable outdoor dining area where all ten guests can sit together, making it ideal for leisurely breakfasts, long lunches and dinners beneath the stars. Built-in seating aft provides another inviting place to relax, while additional sun pads can transform the deck into a spacious sunbathing area.

Her expansive teak decks allow guests to remain connected to the sailing experience, whether watching the crew handle the yacht under sail or simply taking in uninterrupted views of the surrounding sea.

For evenings on board, the aft cockpit can also be transformed into an outdoor cinema with a projector and dedicated sound system, creating a memorable setting for movies beneath the night sky.

Designed for diving and life on the water

Guillemot is particularly well suited to guests who want to make the sea an important part of their charter experience.

A large dedicated stern platform provides convenient access for swimming, diving and launching the yacht’s extensive collection of water toys. Paddleboards and kayaks offer a relaxed way to explore quiet anchorages, while the yacht is also exceptionally well prepared for diving enthusiasts, with full dive equipment and an onboard compressor available for rendezvous diving.

Her Smuggler Strata 650 tender adds another dimension to days on the water. Equipped with a large canopy, freshwater shower and ski pole, it is equally useful for comfortable trips ashore, coastal exploration or towing water toys.

Modern entertainment and connectivity

While Guillemot retains the character of a true sailing yacht, she offers all the connectivity and entertainment expected from a modern luxury charter.

Starlink provides fast internet connectivity, complemented by additional satellite communication systems when required. Entertainment is integrated discreetly throughout the main guest areas, with access to streaming services, an extensive movie catalogue and high-quality music systems.

For guests who like to remain active while away, exercise mats, free weights and a pull-up bar provide simple but useful fitness options on board.

A genuine pedigree sailing experience

Guillemot represents a particularly compelling combination of pedigree, performance and comfort. Her Vitters build quality, Ed Dubois design, proven ocean-going capabilities and beautifully maintained interiors make her far more than simply an elegant charter yacht.

She is a yacht for guests who value the authenticity of sailing, but who also expect space, privacy and thoughtful service. Whether crossing open water under sail, dining together in the cockpit or spending the afternoon diving and exploring from the stern platform, Guillemot delivers a charter experience defined by craftsmanship, adventure and timeless elegance.
