The 59m classic motor yacht Marala, one of relatively few surviving yachts from her era, has a fascinating story of 1930’s elegance, German U-boats, and Hollywood glamour. Built by Camper and Nicholsons in 1931, Marala yacht has had unusually few owners for her age, meaning her character, basic layout and original engines have all been preserved. However, many modifications have been made to the yacht’s superstructure and interior throughout her life, most notably when she was converted for naval service during World War II.

Beloved by several notable Owners, guardian of wartime naval crew and host to distinguished guests such as Salvador Dali, Frank Sinatra, and international royalty, Marala is now a historical icon infused with character from each era of her life.

From bow to stern, Marala yacht is brimming with an fantastic array of social and dining areas, both inside and out, making her the ideal yacht for relaxing and entertaining whilst on charter.
