Our listing for Natalia, a 2012 Torpedo 42 Luxury Dayboat, presents the rarest of opportunities for those knowledgeable, discerning yachtsmen and women looking for immediate delivery of one of the world’s premier yachts:

How rare is rare?

Well, only once every four or five years does a brokerage J Craft come on the market. This fine yacht, owned by the founder of J Craft, is now completing its top-to-bottom refit. From all new varnish (inside and out) to rebuilt IPS engines, she will be delivered in as-new condition. Currently in Sweden, she can be easily re-wired for US voltage, and at a price of $1.1m she represents a substantial savings in both dollars and time over a new build.

Natalia is well known as J Craft’s flagship, and as such is a standout example of why I say “Built first for Royalty, and now for you.” J Craft’s lucky owners range from the King of Sweden to owners of some of the world’s finest superyachts (for whom J Craft’s fit perfectly as their refined tenders).  She has delivered 42 knots of supreme luxury in her share of exotic harbors, from St. Tropez to Lake Como to Stockholm. Her elegant looks will translate seamlessly to your harbor, whether that be in Newport, Sag Harbor, Palm Beach, or Charlevoix.

I can today provide you with a fascinating path to learn more about Natalia and J Craft.

And in closing today, if you’d like my personal take about why I am True Believer #1 when it comes to J Craft – its yachts, its factory and it’s people, you’ll see here I’ve left no quality footage on the cutting room floor. And at the end of this video you’ll find your very own special treat:
