To the ends of the earth with HEMISPHERE

Now offered exclusively for sale with Burgess.

For those seeking adventure and exploration on an unparalleled scale, HEMISPHERE stands as the ultimate yacht. At 45 metres, she is not only the world’s largest sailing catamaran but also a vessel with a proven track record of pioneering voyages.

Constructed in 2011 for her original owner, HEMISPHERE remains unrivalled in her category. She has already circumnavigated the globe twice and is now partway through her third global voyage. With a resume spanning over 70 countries, she has cemented her place as one of the first charter yachts to lead the trend for off-the-beaten-track exploration.

An impressive feat, in December 2019 HEMISPHERE became the first foreign flagged super yacht to legally charter in Australia. She was also vital in supporting the filming of documentaries for National Geographic, visiting the places where Blue Planet and Shark Week are filmed.

‘HEMISPHERE’s playground has typically been French Polynesia,’ shares Elina Vitola, our Monaco-based charter manager who knows the yacht intimately. ‘Her diving capabilities are unmatched – she carries two PADI dive instructors, allowing guests to get certified while on board.’

Unlike most yachts in her class, HEMISPHERE has been designed for diving and marine exploration, a feature that has delighted guests over the years. ‘Diving is one of the things most other yachts aren’t able to deliver, and HEMISPHERE is really geared up for it,’ says Henry Craven-Smith, Senior Partner & Senior Sales Broker.

He continues, explaining how 'the owners have transformed HEMISPHERE to make her into this incredible adventurer, augmenting the operation with a 16m sports fisher support boat that they use as a dive platform and a fishing platform to go around the world in.'

Her multi-hull design provides impressive interior and deck spaces, with an enormous volume of 499GT. ‘The deck volume really is extraordinary and you do get a lot of boat for this size,’ Elina describes. This unique design has made her a favourite among adventurous families, groups of friends, and discerning travellers looking for something beyond the ordinary.

HEMISPHERE’s captain, Gavin Bladen, has been on board since her construction, assembling the design and build team and overseeing the construction every step of the way, ensuring her meticulous upkeep and operational excellence before sailing HEMISPHERE over the horizon.

‘Gavin has taken her everywhere – from Norway and Central America to regions including South East Asia and the Pacific. For a new owner, this is a rare opportunity to take on a well-established platform with an experienced crew and a globally recognised reputation.’
