Yacht Description
Classic sailing, no gimmicks. GAEL I is a 76-foot Abeking & Rasmussen classic sailing yacht built in 1962 and refit in 2022, aimed at guests who want the real thing when the sails go up.
A proper setup for six. She sleeps 6 guests in 3 cabins, with a primary suite featuring a king-size bed plus two twin cabins, all with en-suite bathroom facilities. Simple, workable, and private.
Comfort stays onboard. Full air conditioning, Wi‑Fi, and an indoor audio system keep downtime easy when you are not out on deck. No need to “tough it out.”
Water time is covered. Expect 2 stand up paddleboards and snorkelling equipment for low-fuss days at anchor, plus a 3.5m AB Inflatables dinghy for quick trips between yacht and shore.
