Guest Capacity: 8
Weatherbird is a meticulously crafted two-masted classic French sailing yacht, custom-built for the dynamic duo Sara and Gerald Murphy, renowned for their cosmopolitan adventures. This vessel holds a distinguished place in maritime history, having hosted luminaries such as Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald, Cole Porter, Ernest Hemingway, Dorothy Parker, and Pablo Picasso during Mediterranean voyages. Created in 1931 at the celebrated Chantelot & Lemaistre shipyard of Chantiers Navals De Normandie, it was the visionary design of Russian aristocrat Victor Orloff and Heni Rambaud. As a floating example of the era's extravagant artistic aristocracy, it epitomizes the sought-after art deco style.
Measuring 31 meters (100 feet) in length, with a beam of 20 feet and a draft of 12 feet, Weatherbird radiates elegance with its oak hull, teak deck, and captain’s cabin, creating an inherently sophisticated ambiance. The 2022 refit by its current owner has transformed it into a timeless classic, preserving the essence of the original design while integrating modern elements.
Weatherbird perfectly blends classic charm with contemporary luxury. State-of-the-art features seamlessly integrate with pristine furnishings for unmatched comfort. The yacht accommodates 8 guests in 4 cabins adorned with Ralph Lauren linens and custom brass and silver fixtures, paying homage to the grandeur of the 1930s. Touchscreen panels control audiovisual experiences and various lighting "scenes," complemented by the warmth of an electric fireplace at the touch of a button. The salon table, doubling as a Yamaha F01 piano, offers panoramic views and invites serene indoor retreats.
Now based in Athens, Greece, Weatherbird hosts charter voyages across the Eastern Mediterranean, appealing to those enchanted by old-world allure, a thoughtful lifestyle, and the rustic charm of East-West intersections. A dedicated 4-member crew is on hand to elevate every moment aboard this floating testament to elegance and sophistication.
