Duchy Motor 35 GRP

Duchy 35 — Royalty on the Water

Presenting "Orinoco", a truly exceptional Duchy 35—a motor launch that sits in rare company. Built in the UK under the revered Duchy Motor Launches marque, this yacht is widely recognised among the superyacht crowd as a benchmark of taste, craftsmanship and quiet confidence. She isn't loud. She doesn't need to be. She's royalty on the water.

Bigger Than She Looks — By a Long Way

Photos simply don't do her justice. Orinoco is much bigger in real life than she appears, with an almost 4-metre beam and nearly 40 feet overall once her proportions and swim platform are appreciated. The result is a yacht that feels closer to a 40-footer than a traditional 35—delivering unexpected volume, presence and comfort the moment you step aboard.

A Cockpit Made for People

The standout feature—and the heart of this yacht—is the huge, beautifully proportioned cockpit. It's a genuinely social space designed for long lunches, sunset drinks and effortless entertaining. Wide seating, natural teak underfoot and seamless connection to the saloon create an open, inclusive layout that keeps everyone together. This is a cockpit where conversations linger and plans extend "just one more hour".

Luxury Details You Rarely See at This Size

One of her most impressive and unusual features is her powered privacy glass—allowing the saloon windows to transform from clear, to tinted, to fully frosted at the push of a button. It's a superbly clever system that lets you control light, heat and privacy instantly, adding a layer of refinement normally reserved for much larger yachts and superyacht tenders.

Uncompromising Quality — Everywhere You Look

Finish and feel are where the Duchy 35 separates itself from the fleet. Every surface, hinge and join speaks to exceptional British craftsmanship—hand-finished timber, flawless detailing and a sense of solidity that only comes from building yachts properly. Step aboard and you immediately feel it: this is not mass-produced luxury; this is bespoke-level execution.

A Brand the Elite Quietly Respect

Within superyacht marinas and refined cruising grounds, Duchy owners recognise one another instantly. The brand carries a discreet prestige—chosen by those who value heritage, understatement and engineering integrity over flash. Orinoco's specification is particularly unique, reflecting an owner who knew exactly what they wanted and commissioned it to a level rarely seen.

Graceful, Confident, Effortless

Underway, she delivers the composed, confidence-inspiring ride the Duchy name is famous for—smooth, predictable and supremely comfortable. At rest, she draws admiration without demanding attention. This is a yacht that feels equally at home arriving at a waterfront restaurant or lying quietly in a secluded anchorage.
