Seafin, a 75ft luxury motor yacht based in Port Hamble, is a much-loved sight on local shores and has been cruising across Southampton Water for over 25 years. Fondly described by those who know her well as ‘part of The Solent’s furniture’ Seafin has finished her seasonal Winter maintenance and been relaunched for the 2024 season which commences in April. This season she has been fitted with two brand-new reconditioned engines, with sea trials taking place before her commercial charters.
Seafin was built in 1961 of pitch pine, with oak frames and a teak deck, and was one of the last wooden vessels built by John J Thorneycroft of Southampton. With an intriguing history, she was once owned by the well-known Profumo family in 1967. She has been run as a charter vessel since 1986, with 38 years of experience as an event venue. These days she remains moored at Port Hamble Marina and is ready to await guests for a little day of luxury.
A timeless and classic motor yacht representative of a bygone era, she is perfect for a unique day on The Solent. She hosts corporate and private celebration events for up to 30 persons on board and offers a choice of beautiful sailing destinations on the breathtakingly scenic South Coast.
