Royal Huisman World Cruiser 78

Big Price Reduction!

Sparrow's build quality is amongst the best in the world.  Her design is as respected now or more so, as it was in 1988.  The interiors could not be better thought out and comfortable.  The thought and details that have gone into Sparrow is such a pleasure to see and enjoy.  We can confidently say she will continue to be enjoyed and admired generations to come.

In 2010 the owner hired the renowned interior designer Peter Beeldnijer to redesign the interior.  During that renovation the owner invested over $2.7M USD

Currently, Sparrow is stored at the well respected service and build yard of Lyman-Morse in Thomaston, Maine.  With a small airport only ten minutes away and Boston only 3 hours drive, any interested yachtsman should come to see her.  The family of this vessel is very invested in having Sparrow carry on with someone who will love and enjoy her the way they have.
