Overview

ARIADNE is a traditional 124’ custom American motor yacht brought into the modern age. Inspired by the bygone era of luxury transatlantic ocean liners, she is a true classic yacht that exudes a relaxed elegance with thoughtful touches and an extraordinary attention to detail.

ARIADNE was constructed in 1979 by the renowned Breaux Bay Craft shipyard in Louisiana. She received a multi-million-dollar refit between 2018-2022 at the Derecktor Shipyard and Lauderdale Marine Center, where she was completely reworked structurally, mechanically, and aesthetically. 

She is characterized by her flag-blue paint, crimson and gold boot stripes, and her fresh cream superstructure. She features thick hull plating and a shallow draft, which makes her the ideal yacht for cruising locations such as the Bahamas.

ARIADNE boasts three separate exterior deck areas with a three-level aft deck. She features a spacious sun deck that has been expanded to four times the original size, making this the perfect spot to entertain friends and family. 

She can accommodate 8 guests in 4 staterooms. With interiors inspired by the transatlantic ocean liners of the 1930s, ARIADNE is adorned with marble floors, fixtures, and sconces, gold and brass touches throughout, Art Deco bronze outlet plates, and custom artworks.

Equipped with four John Deere 650hp engines, she can reach a top speed of 15 to 20 knots and a cruising speed of 10 to 14 knots. Her two generators were completely rebuilt in her recent refit.
