This impressive vessel graces the Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and rightfully so. The Sea Cloud Spirit is a stately luxury sailboat boasting three masts and 28 sails, stretching an impressive 125 meters long, making it the world’s second-largest sailboat.
This magnificent transatlantic cruiser, crafted at the esteemed Metalships & Docks shipyard in Vigo, stands as an international maritime icon. Its construction, valued at 90 million euros, signified a milestone following the challenges faced by the Godán shipyard in Asturias back in 2010. Despite the hurdles, the ship was finally unveiled on April 29, 2021, a decade after its initial planned completion.
The sailboat, featuring five exquisitely designed decks, offers top-tier accommodation with 69 lavish suites, including 25 with private balconies, catering to 136 passengers. Beyond the usual amenities like a fine dining restaurant, boutique, and library, the vessel includes an infirmary, wine bar, lounge, and tea room. Spacious and sophisticated communal areas on the main deck, accompanied by an ocean-view spa, hair salon, and gym, elevate the onboard experience.
With a crew of 90 individuals, 40 of whom are dedicated to sailing operations, while the remainder tend to passenger needs and ensure the seamless functioning of the cruise. From the sophistication of the captain’s deck to the meticulous attention to every detail, this sailboat epitomizes a fusion of nautical ingenuity and high-seas opulence.
