Broker comments
The Dallinghoo is an iconic 30.20-metre classic schooner, designed by the renowned Dudley Dix Yacht Design and originally built in 1990 by S.A. Pritchard in South Africa. First launched as Spirit of Malvane, this remarkable yacht has a rich history of ocean crossings, exclusive private use, and luxury charter operations in Asia.
In 2014, the Dallinghoo was purchased by a professional superyacht captain, who commissioned a complete two-year rebuild at an Australian-run shipyard in Yangon. During this refit, the yacht was lengthened by 3.5 metres, received a completely new interior with five luxurious guest cabins (all ensuite and air-conditioned), as well as a separate crew area. All technical systems were renewed: new electrical wiring, plumbing, vacuum toilets, air-conditioning, generators, teak decking, and an overhauled engine.
In 2016 the Dallinghoo was fully rebuilt and in 2019 refitted again, receiving a new hull, rigging, and engine overhaul. Since then, she has been a true showpiece in luxury charter across Southeast Asia, admired in harbours from Myanmar to Indonesia. She remains in excellent condition, with professional maintenance scheduled through 2025.
With her classic lines, solid steel hull, long keel, fine craftsmanship, and fully equipped amenities, the Dallinghoo is not only a beautifully preserved sailing icon but also immediately ready for private use or commercial charter operations.
