When considering CRUSADE charter rates for 2026, keep in mind that at 64’, she is one of the largest and certainly one of the most beautiful, one-off, custom built yachts available for crewed charter on the Solent and yet she is available for around the same cost as a mass-produced ‘plastic fantastic’.
Built in cold moulded wood on the Isle of Wight in 1969, her victory in that year’s Sydney Hobart race ensured her legendary status, and to this day she continues to be a head-turning talking point where-ever she goes.
With a new carbon rig and a suit of equally new North race sails, CRUSADE is enjoying a new, high performance lease of life.
So whether you’re a team looking to put together an RORC offshore campaign, a family or group of friends wanting to cruise to the west country and beyond, a company looking for some adrenaline filled team-building working alongside professional racing sailors, or you simply want a lovely day on the water and to experience a unique piece of Great Britain’s yachting heritage, CRUSADE offers the perfect choice.
