Most long-term cruisers spend years (and a lot of money) learning which systems matter, which don’t, and what they should have done differently. We did that learning over nearly two decades — and built those lessons into this yacht. The boat Crystal is the result of 18 years of world sailing and four major refits — shaped by what actually works offshore, not by theory.
So close your eyes and imagine this: You're anchored off somewhere in SE Asia or French Polynesia, surrounded by turquoise water. Your solar panels are silently powering everything. Your watermaker just filled the tanks. You're cooking dinner on induction – no heat, no hassle. The sun sets over the reef.
Off-grid living that actually works
This isn't a yacht with equipment. It's a complete system that evolved over 18 years of real-world testing:
1,600W solar panels + dual alternators (5kW combined) means weeks at anchor without shore power200L/hour watermaker it’s fresh water whenever you need itInduction cooking means no propane heat in 35°C anchorages (but gas backup when you want it) and it’s powered entirely by the sun on clear daysCloudy weather? Two hours of engine time takes batteries from empty to full
This isn't theoretical self-sufficiency. It's how we've lived aboard for years, enjoying comfortable cruising in remote anchorages.
4 refits and 1 goal: fewer problems as sea
Crystal didn’t become this boat overnight.
We didn't get this right the first time (or even the second!). We learned by sailing, fixing, upgrading, and sailing again. Over time, we refined what really matters for long-distance cruising: energy generation and storage, water independence, and systems that keep working far from shore.
In December 2024, we fitted completely new sails. Crystal is ready to sail today – no projects nor "we'll fix it along the way."
Proven in paradise (and beyond)
Crystal has sailed in tropical heat and in cold, high-latitude waters. Her experience includes French Polynesia, Southeast Asia, Tasmania, remote islands such as Pitcairn and Svalbard, as well as demanding passages like the Southern Ocean, the Northwest Passage, and Cape Horn (twice).
She has handled the difficult passages — and just as importantly, she has made everyday cruising simple and comfortable. A full voyage tracker is available since 2008, documenting every mile: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?hl=pl&mid=1gVB5tbWBeIm49JLL1FkPZcafpephAsFe&ll=5.990583249185477%2C0&z=2

Why Are We Selling?
After 18 years afloat, our plans are shifting toward more time sailing in ice. Crystal is exceptionally capable in open ocean conditions, but ice requires a different type of yacht. That is the only reason for the sale.
What You're Actually Buying:
Most cruisers spend 3-5 years and unnecessary money learning what equipment works, what doesn't, and what they actually need for extended cruising. And this is just the beginning. With us it looked like that:
Four Complete Refits = Four Generations of Improvement
- 2008: Started cruising
- 2012: First major refit -learned what we didn't know
- 2016: Second refit - fixed our mistakes
- 2020: Third refit - perfected the system
- 2024: New sails + final optimization
- 2026: New antifouling
You're buying version 4.0 - the one we wish we'd had on day one.
So for €94,000 you're buying not only a turnkey blue water yacht, proven worldwide, but also all those lessons, already solved. No trial and error. No expensive mistakes. Just a proven system that lets you focus on sailing and adventure.
