Broker Description
Description supplied by the yacht's central agent
Timeless performance reborn - classic soul, modern luxury. 27.50m DARK STAR OF LONDON, built by Trehard in Antibes and designed by Martin Francis, began life as the successful racer BUZY B before a major rebuild at Camper & Nicholson (2000/2002) with new interiors, teak decks, and upgraded systems.
Further refits in 2023/2024, plus upgrades in 2025 (textiles, Starlink, lighting, generator) and 2026 (rudder bearings, hydraulics, engine service, A/C, refrigeration), have kept her fully modern. Often compared to a Swan, she meets Category 0 standards with five watertight doors and system redundancies.
She accommodates 10 guests in 5 en-suite cabins, with teak decks, alfresco dining, water access, and full entertainment onboard. Capacity: 11 guests with 4 crew (or 12 with 3), and up to 25 guests quayside.
