Creole, the world's largest wooden sailing yacht and a timeless gem in the realm of classic sailing vessels, was unveiled in 1927 as a masterpiece of artistry and precision. Across its storied history, this three-masted schooner has epitomized superb craftsmanship and meticulous design, embodying a rich tapestry of experiences. Initially bearing a modified rig upon launch to meet the owner's specifications, Creole sailing yacht underwent a series of transformations over the years. During the tumult of the Second World War, her rig was dismantled, and deck modifications altered her appearance significantly, rendering her unrecognizable.

A pivotal moment came in the mid-20th century when Creole underwent a substantial restoration, reverting to the splendid and swift vessel envisioned by her original designer.  Adorned with timeless aesthetics and opulent furnishings in inviting hues, Creole exudes an atmosphere of refined comfort, ensuring a lavish experience for all onboard. From the inviting aft deck for daytime and evening gatherings to the grand formal dining salon and expansive main salon, Creole sailing yacht provides impeccable settings for both outdoor and indoor entertainment, perfect for any special occasion.

Embracing the pleasures of sailing, Creole sailboat presents an unrivaled charm for discerning charterers seeking a truly exceptional sailing holiday. Amidst its rich history and unparalleled elegance, this classic schooner stands as a testament to seafaring sophistication and timeless allure, promising an unforgettable voyage for those who embark on her decks.
