Overview
About this vessel
We are delighted to offer this as new and lightly used Y8 for sale. Immediately ready for Summer cruising and lying in Antibes, France, King Charles III is in exceptional condition and presents superbly.
Naval Architect Javier Jaudenenes of Surge Projects designed this sailing yacht with a focus on performance and elegance. The yacht features all Carbon Kevlar construction, including hull, deck, bulkheads and superstructure, paired with teak laid decks. A performance carbon mast and roller furling V boom complete the rig.
The interior is appointed throughout with brushed white Oak woodwork and Oak floor boards, complemented by leather upholstery in the saloon. The accommodation sleeps 8 guests in four dedicated cabins: a double berth master cabin forward with en-suite bathroom and shower, a VIP double berth cabin midships, and two twin berth cabins aft, each with en-suite bathrooms and showers. Forward of the guest accommodation, a large open plan saloon features a 3 seater leather sofa to port and a dining table seating 8+ to starboard.
Separate crew accommodation comprises a twin berth bunk cabin and crew bathroom with shower. The crew area includes a spacious galley separated from the main guest accommodation, with its own access companionway to the aft deck. The galley is fitted with a Vitrifrigo refrigerator, 230v induction hob and oven, wine cooler, ice maker, and dishwasher.
Engineering is straightforward and robust, centred on a single Yanmar 4LV 250 diesel inboard engine with 747 hours run, shaft driven to a folding propeller. A Fischer Panda generator provides 18.1 KVA of power. The yacht is equipped with bow and stern Sleipner thrusters, each fully retractable. A Schenker Zen 150 watermaker supplies 150 litres per hour.
Navigation is handled by a comprehensive B&G package including dual 15-inch Zeus multifunction displays, Nemesis mast and cockpit displays, Halo 20+ radar, AIS Class B transponder, and VHF system. The yacht also features a Sonos sound system with Sonance speakers, Apple TV integration, a Samsung TV in the saloon, and Starlink integration with antenna installation provision.
Deck facilities include a large tender garage aft with fold down transom access, a telescopic hydraulic passerelle, freshwater washdown deck hose connector, folding Sprayhood/dodger, and a large overhead cockpit Bimini with carbon support poles. Four Harken electric 3 speed tailing winches and a 24v Harken retracting warping drum on the foredeck complete the working deck.
