Cervo

Carbon. Light. Kept at the front of the market.

Cervo is a 39-metre sailing yacht built by Vitters in carbon composite, launched in 2009 with naval architecture by Bill Tripp and an interior by Nauta Yachts. Light, fast, and continuously invested in, she has been refitted at Pendennis in 2018, Orams in 2022, and Pendennis Vilanova in 2024 and 2025, keeping her at the front of the market rather than letting her age into it.

The Green Marine carbon build is the foundation. She displaces 135 tonnes, which at 39 metres means she sails like something ten metres shorter. Her lifting keel, 3.8 metres up and 6.0 metres down, opens anchorages and berths that fixed-keel yachts of this size cannot reach, without compromising offshore stability.

She accommodates eight guests in four cabins, with a crew of five. The Tripp exterior and Nauta interior work together in a way that feels resolved rather than designed by committee, which, given how many refits she has been through, speaks to the quality of each one. Price on application.
