Description
Sapphire Sea II is a yacht that harks back to an era when the world’s elite cruised the globe in style and grace. Built in 1972 by Dittmar & Donaldson , this 87-foot classic motor yacht embodies the timeless elegance of a bygone age, when craftsmanship, proportion, and presence defined true luxury on the water.
Over the past decade, she has undergone a thoughtful and comprehensive refit costing over $1,000,000 , blending her original character with modern systems and comforts. The result is a vessel ready to deliver another half-century of pleasure and adventure to her next owner.
