Your vessel: the Living Legend Sea Cloud

Confident Grande Dame, sporty style icon and generous hostess – the SEA CLOUD is a living legend. Built 90 years ago as a private luxury yacht, she combines extravagant charm and authentic windjammer feeling.

  • LEGENDARY,
  • UNIQUE,
  • AND VERY PRIVATE.

The most beautiful windjammer legend of all times and for many the true center of a journey for a maximum of 64 passengers.

A private yacht with an eventful history

Golden swan-shaped water taps, magnificent marble fireplaces, French antiques – as heiress to a fortune worth millions, Marjorie Merriweather Post was able to give free rein to her imagination when building her private yacht, which was launched in Kiel in 1931. Even today, every detail on the SEA CLOUD radiates the glamour of a bygone era. Her elegance seems timeless, as she has retained her unconventional charm.
