Your vessel: the Living Legend Sea Cloud

Your Vessel: The Living Legend Sea Cloud

The SEA CLOUD is widely regarded as the most beautiful windjammer legend of all time. Hosting a maximum of 64 passengers, she offers an intimate and luxurious sailing experience. For many, she is the true centerpiece of their journey.

A Private Yacht with an Eventful History

To this day, every detail on the SEA CLOUD radiates the glamour of a bygone era, with elegance that remains timeless and charm that is delightfully unconventional.
