Welcome to S/Y Desiderata

S/Y Desiderata is a premium 66′ classic ketch, currently based in the Caribbean. A sister ship to Malabar XIII, the history behind this vessel adds romance and interest to an already enthralling boat.

John G. Alden originally designed this ketch to race personally; hence, she sails like a dream and stands out amongst the classic regatta yachts.

An entertaining and fun atmosphere exists on board this sailing yacht – Stuart and Julia – the professional and experienced crew – will ensure everyone has an enchanting and engaging sailing vacation.

This elegant and classic boat is fondly known as “Desi” by all who sail her.
