2004 Baltic 50, 595 000 EUR

ELEVEN, is a high-performance Baltic 50 racer-cruiser, built in carbon composite with a Corecell sandwich construction and epoxy resins. Already an outstanding yacht, she was taken to an entirely new level by her current owner through an uncompromising €750,000 programme of technical, structural and aesthetic enhancements. Yes… six figures. But why? The owner, a Dutch entrepreneur with extensive yacht-building expertise, set out to bring ELEVEN to the high standards he believes in. When he purchased her from the first owner, she had only been used lightly. In fact, the original owner had never even spent a night on board. The goal was to perfect her, enhancing Baltic's renowned quality, performance and seaworthiness without compromise. The result is a meticulously refined 50-feet performance yacht that excels in every respect. From the engineering to the finest finishing touches, every detail has been carefully considered, refined and executed. The list of improvements is simply too extensive to cover in full. Highlights include new teak decks, a redesigned cockpit, new standing and running rigging, new sails, new upholstery, upgraded systems and countless other enhancements throughout. The Baltic 50 was designed by naval architect Bill Tripp III who has earned a worldwide reputation for designing sailing yachts that seamlessly blend sailing performance with cruising comfort. With only 11 Baltic 50s ever built, this model is both exclusive and highly sought after, and ELEVEN undoubtedly ranks among the finest examples.

Step below deck and it immediately becomes clear that the same meticulous attention to detail continues throughout the interior. Almost everything has been refurbished, including new floorboards, upholstery, panelled head linings, sky screens, a remodelled port and starboard guest cabin, and a new Force 10 ceramic cooker, among many other upgrades. Presented in near-new condition, the interior combines refined elegance with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The yacht offers a comfortable three-cabin layout. The forward owner’s cabin forward features an offset double berth to port and a private en-suite bathroom with electric toilet and separate shower compartment. The two guest cabins aft share the second bathroom. Heating and air conditioning provide year-round comfort in every climate. This comprehensive enhancement programme has transformed ELEVEN into one of the most impressive Baltic 50s afloat. For her next owner, the greatest advantage is simple: the substantial investment has already been made. All that remains is to step aboard and enjoy every mile ahead.
