Sail more meaningfully.

St Vincent Yacht Co. offers small-group sailing experiences on Gulf St Vincent aboard classic Bob Perry-designed bluewater yachts, shaped around quiet luxury, local food, South Australian wine and boutique hospitality.

This is not party-boat chartering. It is a private, design-led sailing experience for couples, families, visiting guests and small groups who want something memorable, elegant and deeply connected to Adelaide.

No crowded decks. No noise. Just proper yachts, good food, local wine, open water and the pull of the wind.

South Australian hospitality

Food, wine and stays, shaped around the sail.

A St Vincent Yacht Co. charter is designed to feel connected to the place it sails from. Selected experiences can include South Australian produce, elegant onboard platters, seafood, cheese, seasonal fruit and carefully chosen wines from Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale, Barossa and Clare Valley.

For guests visiting Adelaide, we are building relationships with boutique villas and 4 and 5 star hotels to create seamless land-and-sea escapes: private accommodation, coastal sailing, local food, good wine and time on Gulf St Vincent.

Tell us where you are staying, the occasion and the kind of day you want. We can shape the sailing, food, wine and timing around the full experience.

The Fleet

A curated fleet of Bob Perry bluewater designs.

Our fleet is built around a simple idea: charter yachts should have soul.

Each St Vincent Yacht Co. vessel is selected for character, seaworthiness, comfort and design pedigree. These are classic Bob Perry-designed sailing yachts: capable offshore boats with graceful lines, practical decks and warm interiors.

This is not superyacht theatre. It is proper sailing, done beautifully.

Founding Yacht

Valiant 47

The Valiant 47 is our founding yacht: a serious 47-foot offshore design with the warmth and character of a classic private sailing vessel.

Additional Bob Perry-designed yachts will join the fleet as the company grows.

Design Pedigree

Why Bob Perry designs?

Bob Perry's yachts are known for combining offshore capability with elegant, human-scale cruising design.

For St Vincent Yacht Co., that matters. We want yachts with real sailing character, not floating event platforms. Boats that look right, sail properly, feel warm below deck and carry the quiet confidence of vessels designed for distance.

Proper bluewater yachts, not floating function rooms. Our fleet is selected around that philosophy.

Bluewater credibility

Designed for real sailing and serious passages.

Classic proportions

Graceful lines, practical decks and timeless silhouettes.

Warm interiors

Timber, craft, comfort and atmosphere.

Small-group experience

Better suited to private moments than crowded events.

Private by design

Small by design.
Personal by nature.

The best days on the water are not crowded. We keep charters small so the experience stays relaxed, personal and considered.

Quiet time on the water, shaped around the people onboard.

Yacht Services

Support for owners of serious cruising yachts.

Beyond private charters, St Vincent Yacht Co. is developing owner services for classic and bluewater yachts: management, maintenance coordination, delivery preparation, pre-purchase support, refit planning and guest-ready presentation.

For owners who are busy, overseas, new to larger yachts or simply want a more considered level of care, we help keep the boat ready, safe and properly looked after.

Designed for owners who want their yacht cared for properly, without losing the character that made them buy it in the first place.

St Vincent Goods

Timeless goods for life under sail.

A small collection of St Vincent Yacht Co. goods is being developed for guests, owners and people who love classic sailing culture. Simple, useful and beautifully made: caps, shirts, towels, canvas bags, logbooks and coastal essentials designed to belong on deck, ashore and on the road.

This is refined yacht-club merchandise, not tourist souvenirs.

Safety and planning

The experience is relaxed because the planning is not.
