Silvertip

 A striking blend of luxury and sailing prowess, Silvertip is a 33.8m sailing yacht designed by the legendary Ed Dubois and built by New Zealand’s premier shipyard, Yachting Developments. Delivered in 2001 and meticulously refit in 2021, she remains a benchmark for fast cruising yachts with global capability.

Constructed with a lightweight carbon composite hull and equipped with a powerful Southern Spars rig, Silvertip delivers exhilarating performance on all points of sail. Her innovative lifting keel enhances both upwind capability and access to shallower cruising grounds, while a responsive helm and light displacement ensure an engaging and effortless sailing experience. Under motor, a 300hp Lugger engine allows for a cruising speed of 10 knots and a range of up to 4,500 nautical miles.

Maintained to the highest standards by a single, experienced owner, Silvertip is as refined in her design as she is capable at sea—equally suited to high-performance superyacht regattas or serene world cruising.

Design & Layout
Her exterior design combines clean, sleek lines with ocean-ready durability. The expansive teak deck features wide walkways, a large aft sunpad area, and a generous centre cockpit with covered seating for up to ten guests—perfect for alfresco dining or unwinding at anchor. The swim platform and garage provide easy water access and house a 4.5m Aquapro tender and an array of toys including scuba gear, SUPs, and kiteboarding equipment.

Inside, the interior by Agnes Comar is warm and timeless, styled in Swedish pear wood with neutral-toned fabrics and soft carpeting. The full-beam master suite, located aft, is accompanied by a VIP double and a versatile triple cabin, sleeping up to seven guests in total comfort. Large skylights and oversized hull windows flood the main salon with natural light, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere throughout.
