2016 Retrofit and 2022 Retrofit

CLASSIC RHODES LINES, MODERN COMFORTS, THE TOUGHNESS AND DURABILITY OF STEEL, THE SAILING PERORMANCE OF A SEAGOING CENTERBOARD VESSEL, THE RIGHT MAST HEIGHT FOR THE ICW...WHAT'S NOT TO FALL IN LOVE WITH?

VALKAY is a center cockpit motorsailer designed by the famous Naval Architect Phillip Rhodes, designer of many iconic beauties, and built by Steel Yachts LTD in New Zealand. This impressive motor sailing sloop is guaranteed to turn heads wherever she goes.

She underwent an extensive retrofit in 2016 where over a million dollars was spent on bringing her to pristine condition. Her current owners have cared for her in the same vein, adding things like an industrial icemaker and a new air conditioning system. They sailed her down the Pacific coast and into the Caribbean. 

She is now located in Florida.

She even has a custom anchor with her name on it!!! See photo! And the list goes on. A classic beauty made for open ocean sailing

She is also set up to be a true single-handed boat with push-button in-cockpit controls, so even at her size she can be sailed solo. With over 300 gallons of fuel and 150 gallons of fresh water (plus a water maker) she is ready to make any long crossing in comfort. She is also perfect for those beautiful shallow bays, with a draft of 6' with the centerboard up and 9' with it down. And with a mast height of 62' and her shallow draft she can cruise the waters of the ICW.
