TRIPPIN - CUSTOM MADE FOR SALE

Moored in the yachting haven of Bodrum, Turkey, the boutique tirhandil and modern-classic double-ender TRIPPIN embodies timeless Bodrum wooden-yacht craftsmanship with contemporary refinement. Launched in 2007 by the respected İlkay Mıstık Boatyard and lavishly renewed in 2022, this elegant luxury sailing yacht presents as a modern classic ketch with the poise of a collector’s piece and the readiness of a proven charter yacht. A major machinery overhaul completed in 2026 further elevates her pedigree for discerning private ownership or premium charter operation, blending authenticity with reliability in truly Mediterranean-chic style.

Built in Bodrum under the supervision of Turkish Lloyd and certified accordingly, TRIPPIN carries TUGS—Turkish International Ship Registry—status with tax exempt/prepaid standing, an administrative profile that complements the yacht’s polished technical provenance. Every line, fitting, and finish speaks to a yacht that has been conceived and maintained to class-leading standards, balancing classic yacht allure with modern operational ease for both coastal cruising and extended passages.

Measuring 20.00 m (67.00 ft) LOA with an 18.20 m (61.00 ft) LWL, a generous 6.50 m (21.45 ft) beam, and a 2.40 m (7.92 ft) draft, she delivers the volume and stability one expects of a premium wooden sailing yacht of this category. Her tonnage is recorded at 45 GT and 24 NT, and the original technical dossier substantiates these principal dimensions and measures, underscoring a design optimized for comfort, seakeeping, and balanced performance.

Her hull is an ode to Bodrum’s finest traditions: a fully laminated construction in premium mahogany and teak, cloaked in dual-layer epoxy fiber sheathing for long-term protection. All metalwork is executed in 316 and 316L stainless steel, a detail that translates to durability, strength, and enduring aesthetic quality across deck hardware and structural fittings. The end result is a robust, quiet, and reassuring platform that rewards both the experienced sailor and the style-conscious connoisseur.

A comprehensive refit in 2022 refreshed and upgraded the yacht across all key areas for sophisticated private living and robust charter service. Then, in 2026, a significant machinery and engine-room overhaul was undertaken, affirming mechanical excellence and future-ready peace of mind. Post-overhaul, the main engine shows approximately 500 hours, the Kohler generator around 1,000 hours, and the Onan Cummins generator about 500 hours—figures that reflect careful use and consistent professional care since the work was completed.

Propulsion is entrusted to a single Volvo Penta D7 heavy-duty diesel rated at 265 HP, an engineering choice known for tractable power and smooth operation. Following the overhaul, the engine has logged about 500 hours, delivering an effortless cruising speed near 8 knots and a top speed in the region of 12 knots when required. Close-quarters maneuvering is enhanced by a Max Power bow thruster, and the original specification confirms this propulsion and thruster configuration as core to the yacht’s dependable, user-friendly handling characteristics.

On the electrical side, TRIPPIN is configured with a 220V AC / 24V DC system complemented by twin 3,500 W inverters for seamless onboard service. Solar support comes via dual sets of 750 W panels (2 x 2–750 W installation), adding silent autonomy to her energy profile—an appreciated asset for quiet anchorages and sustainable cruising. Her auxiliary power is provided by two generators: a Kohler unit rated at 13 kW with approximately 1,000 hours since overhaul, and an Onan Cummins set of 4.5 kW showing roughly 500 hours, a pairing that delivers versatile redundancy and low-load efficiency.

Tankage is thoughtfully specified for extended independence at sea, with 1,000 liters of fuel, 2,000 liters of fresh water, and 2,000 liters of black-water capacity, each corroborated in the primary specification. An electro-catalytic waste treatment system with about 4,000 liters per day throughput elevates environmental compliance and operational flexibility, while a Horizon reverse-osmosis watermaker producing approximately 200 liters per hour ensures abundant fresh water on demand for guests and crew.

As a twin-mast, gaff-rigged ketch with aluminum spars, TRIPPIN unites traditional rig geometry with low-maintenance materials for a poised, authentic sailing experience. Her sail wardrobe includes a genoa, jib, mainsail, and mizzen, with a combined main and mizzen area of around 240 m². Quality brands permeate the deck plan—UK Sails and TNF Sails for canvas, Antal rigging components, Harken hardware, and Admiral furling systems—while dedicated winches manage the genoa, main, and mizzen halyards with confidence. The yacht’s original documents highlight this equipment suite and rig identity as cornerstones of her modern-classic sailing character.

Navigation and communication are anchored by Raymarine and Garmin instrumentation, featuring a Raymarine C120 for GPS, plotter, and radar integration, a Raymarine SmartPilot ST6002 autopilot for precise course-keeping, and Raymarine ST60+ tridata. Wind and close-hauled data are provided by Raymarine ST60+ wind instruments, complemented by a Raymarine Ray54E VHF/DSC unit for clear communications. Depth information comes via a Garmin 340C color sonar, and AIS capability completes a robust electronics package for safe passagemaking and effortless coastal navigation.

Accommodations are thoughtfully tailored for up to eight guests in four serene queen-size double cabins, each with its own en-suite bathroom. Every guest suite features a private walk-in shower, washbasin, and toilet, along with individually controlled air conditioning to fine-tune personal comfort. The arrangement is both intimate and luxurious, presenting a refined retreat that pairs boutique-hotel detail with the warmth and texture of a handcrafted classic yacht interior.

Crew spaces are situated forward and fully segregated from guest areas to preserve privacy and excellent service flow. Climate comfort throughout the interior is provided by a custom-built chiller/heater split system with independent controls in cabins and common spaces, a specification confirmed in the original build file and a hallmark of premium comfort aboard a luxury charter yacht designed for all-season versatility.

Interior living centers on a fully equipped enclosed galley for gourmet service, a welcoming saloon with lounge seating, and the quartet of en-suite guest cabins, all complemented by separate crew accommodation and comprehensive climate control. The ambiance is refined yet relaxed—perfect for slow mornings at anchor and stylish evenings under soft lighting—delivering a sense of understated indulgence that elevates time aboard.

Outdoor life is a priority on TRIPPIN, with expansive exterior spaces conceived for both private cruising and curated charter experiences. A large sun deck and broad sunbathing areas with plush mattresses invite daylong relaxation, while a shaded aft deck frames a generous dining table seating up to eight for long, convivial meals. Wide side decks and traditional modern-classic styling complete a deck layout that is at once practical, safe, and irresistibly inviting for life at sea.

A Joker 4.20 m fiberglass-bottom RIB tender powered by a 50 HP Mercury outboard stands ready for swift and comfortable shore excursions. Watersports are part of the program as well, with a hard kayak, an inflatable kayak, a stand-up paddleboard, and snorkeling equipment with fins—all the essentials for exploring crystalline coves and quiet beaches with effortless spontaneity.

Safety has been addressed to stringent standards, with the yacht outfitted in line with applicable class and Lloyd/MCA (EU) regulations. Life-saving appliances include a 12-person inflatable life raft, sixteen adult life jackets, five junior life jackets, and a comprehensive suite of life rings—six standard and two horseshoe. Man-overboard readiness is supported by lifting tackle, a dan buoy, and regulation flares, while onboard fire and medical provisions encompass extinguishers throughout, smoke alarms in all cabins and the saloon, dedicated engine-room fire protection, and a fully equipped medical first-aid kit. These particulars are spelled out in the technical inventory, offering confidence for owners and charter managers alike.

Compliance and insurance have been handled with the same rigor as the technical build, with class and Lloyd MCA (EU) conformity in place and full insurance provided by Groupama. Operationally and administratively, TRIPPIN is curated to make ownership remarkably straightforward, from cruising the Turkish Riviera to venturing further across the Aegean and beyond.

Offered at €555,000, this 20.00 m modern-classic double-ender—built by İlkay Mıstık Boatyard in 2007, extensively refitted in 2022, and subject to a major machinery overhaul in 2026—presents with approximately 500 hours on her 265 HP Volvo Penta D7 since overhaul. She accommodates eight guests in four queen-size en-suite cabins and features separate crew quarters, a Max Power bow thruster, two generators (Kohler 13 kW and Onan Cummins 4.5 kW), and a Horizon watermaker producing about 200 L/hour. As a twin-mast, gaff-rigged ketch of laminated mahogany and teak construction—built under Turkish Lloyd supervision and registered with TUGS—she combines sensuous lines with sure-footed capability. With generous exterior living and dining spaces and compelling potential for either refined private ownership or a polished charter program, TRIPPIN is a rare opportunity to secure a true Bodrum-built modern classic sailing yacht of exceptional quality and enduring elegance.
