Tyrian’s design emphasizes safety and ease of handling in challenging weather conditions, making it a reliable choice for both inshore and offshore adventures. Her wide sidedecks facilitate straightforward mast access, even during rough seas, while the standing rigging, which was over-engineered and renewed in 2024 by FKG Marine in St. Maarten, ensures that she can withstand the toughest challenges at sea.

Recently returned from a Caribbean circuit with a young family, Tyrian is not only a sailing vessel but also a home. The interior, finished in light ash wood, creates an inviting atmosphere filled with natural light. With plenty of deep storage lockers and a spacious saloon that can seat up to 12 people, this yacht is perfect for both entertaining guests and enjoying quiet family time on the water.
