Samurai
Silhouette and Seascape
Samurai, a 42.67-metre sailing yacht built by JMV Industries in 2003, embodies exceptional speed and sophistication. Originally launched as "Mari-Cha IV" and later converted into a luxury cruiser, Samurai has a sleek GRP hull and superstructure that enable impressive sailing agility. With a beam of 9.6 metres and a draft of 6.5 metres, she’s well-equipped for stability and speed, boasting a maximum of 11.5 knots and a cruising speed of 9.5 knots. Samurai’s racing heritage combines with luxurious updates, offering an elite balance of performance and comfort for discerning sailors.
Sleek, performance-driven design with stylish appeal.
Samurai’s exterior, crafted by Elliott Boat Design, captures attention with its sleek profile and performance-driven features. Her GRP hull offers durability while maintaining a lightness that enhances speed. The deck layout is refined for both functionality and ease of movement, reflecting her original design as a world-class racing yacht. While Samurai’s open deck space and streamlined structure maintain her racing essence, her conversion to a luxury yacht includes added comfort features, allowing guests to enjoy both thrilling sailing experiences and leisurely deck lounging.
Minimalist yet elegant interior for comfort at sea.
Though Samurai’s interior details are less extensive, her minimalist style is evident in what’s known. Built originally for performance, her internal spaces have been adapted for comfort, with a simple, elegant design that complements her high- performance ethos. Her interior layout supports functional comfort, aligning with her streamlined build. Modifications made to transform her from a competitive racer into a luxury cruiser maintain a spacious environment that, while understated, provides relaxation suited to longer voyages.
