The 37 Grand Mistral needs no introduction. Hailed by owners, press and admirers alike, this hull is quite simply superb. “About Time” has been meticulously maintained by her experienced and fastidious owner, she is very well specced and with the bigger engine options she is no slouch either. She was one of the last Windy 37’s built in Norway with the beautiful light oak finish down below – viewings are highly recommended.

The classic design, soft-riding seaworthy hull and luxurious accommodation have made the 37 Grand Mistral the perfect performance motor yacht for extended cruising. With class-leading economy that many boat owners only dream of, those distant locations become a reality. With the option of a custom-made sleek hardtop and electric sunroof, all-weather protection has never been easier. The unique u-shaped cockpit arrangement is a social dream, just perfect for inviting friends on board.

Below decks are two separate sleeping cabins, a well-equipped galley and saloon, all finished with a blend of solid timber joinery, colours and luxurious fabrics of a standard that others strive to follow.

“Norwegians have to go out in all conditions, so it’s hardly surprising that they build good boats.” – Motor Boats Monthly
