HISTORY & CRUISING EXPERIENCE
SEILE FAMILY has had only three owners since 2001.
Between 2022 and 2026, we sailed as a family from the Netherlands to Greece, cruising the North Sea, Brittany and the Mediterranean.
Having spent several months each year living aboard, we have continuously maintained, improved and equipped the yacht to make her a comfortable and capable long-distance cruising boat.
She is a seaworthy, reliable and enjoyable yacht, both underway and at anchor.
The yacht is currently berthed in Birgu, Malta. Visits can be arranged by appointment. Delivery to another Mediterranean port can also be discussed.

WHY ARE WE SELLING?
After several wonderful years of family cruising, we are now preparing for a new adventure: an expedition to Antarctica aboard a steel yacht specially adapted for polar sailing.
It is with mixed feelings that we are offering SEILE FAMILY for sale.
We would be delighted to help her new owners with the handover and familiarisation, sharing our experience and all the practical knowledge gained during our years aboard.
We hope her next owners will enjoy as much freedom, adventure and happiness aboard SEILE FAMILY as we have.
SEILE FAMILY – Ready for new horizons and new adventures!
