Search Yachts for saleA Tripp Masterpiece
Cervo, launched in 2009, is a 39-metre sailing yacht from the Dutch shipyard Vitters, and has benefitted from extensive refits at Pendennis in 2018, Orams in 2022 and most recently in 2024/25 also at Pendennis Vilanova. This sleek vessel, designed by Tripp Design Naval Architects, features a Green Marine carbon composite hull and superstructure that contributes to her lightweight build and performance. With an interior updated by Nauta Yachts Design in 2018, Cervo is as inviting inside as she is agile on the water. She accommodates up to 8 guests and 5 crew members, ensuring an intimate yet well-serviced experience. Sailing performance is at the heart of this design and all efforts have been made to ensure performance at the highest level. “CERVO” is fitted with a lifting keel for a shallow draft of 3.8 meters, allowing access to many otherwise inaccessible waters and berths, and great stability comfort, and speed with her keel down at 6.0m.
Refined and Optimised
Cervo’s exterior, styled by Tripp Design Naval Architects, features clean, graceful lines that highlight her sailing prowess. The yacht’s vertical bow and windows give her a modern but timeless look. Structural restyling by Tripp Design during the 2018 refit saw the removal of the exterior aft classic cuddy cabin, creating a large open social space, ideal for outdoor living in warmer locations. Cervo’s new optimised deck layout, with its spacious centre cockpit and fully reconfigured arrangement of the helm and aft deck, enables a connection between guests and crew while the yacht is underway. On deck, a carbon bimini provides shade both at anchor and under sail. The lazarette offers considerable space for a plethora of water sports equipment as required.
Nautical Elegance By Nauta Design
Inside, Cervo features a welcoming light, clean and balanced design by Nauta Yachts Design, combining contemporary elegance with comfortable spaces. She accommodates up to 8 guests in 4 luxurious cabins, each offering privacy and stylish amenities. The main saloon is thoughtfully designed with rich materials and large windows, inviting plenty of natural light and allowing guests to enjoy panoramic views while relaxing indoors. Ruiter Quality Interiors fabricated the interior using an open-grain oak from the German timber specialist Schotten & Hansen on floors and walls with a brushed, whitewashed finishing effect. The pale grey oak field is broken here and there for effect with a velvety white nanotech paint surface or matching leather panels. The layout includes quarters for 5 crew members in 3 cabins, ensuring attentive service throughout the journey. The interior blends functionality with luxury, making her suitable for extended cruising.
