**Surveys are expected to post to the Documents section by 10/23. Located close to FLIBS and available by appointment Oct 25 to Nov 1**
ALTAIR, a 96’ Derecktor sloop designed by Sparkman Stephens, is a proven bluewater cruising yacht with timeless lines, robust aluminum construction, and a highly functional layout for comfort, efficient service and privacy. Extensively upgraded over time, ALTAIR is equipped for long-range cruising in comfort and style. She offers three ensuite guest staterooms, separate crew accommodations, robust systems, and a strong sailing pedigree.
ALTAIR has enjoyed long-term, dedicated ownership and has been maintained to an exceptional standard throughout, most recently confirmed by a Patton survey this month. Equally at home on the regatta circuit and the open ocean, she has competed at the Newport Bucket and sailed extensively across the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Pacific.
Fully aft on deck aboard ALTAIR, you have the tender storage and crane, the hydraulic passarelle for shore access and access to the water from the retractable swim platform.
Moving forward on the wide side decks, the covered on-deck cockpit offers comfortable seating aft, port and starboard with cocktail tables, full wet bar, refrigeration and serving area. The wide pilothouse doors connect the cockpit and pilothouse seamlessly, with comfortable settees port and starboard, excellent visibility to all deck areas and an unrestricted view to the horizon. The comprehensively equipped helm station is on centerline forward with a comfortable helm seat, complete instrumentation and all operating controls within easy reach.
Stepping below from the pilothouse, you enter a bright and welcoming main salon, where an L-shaped settee to port and a convertible high/low table create a comfortable central gathering and dining space, complemented by a wet bar and built-in cabinetry. The varnished mahogany woodwork and bright finished teak & holly cabin sole cultivate the finely crafted classic yacht ambiance that is reflected in all details aboard ALTAIR.
Flowing aft, the guest accommodations are arranged with privacy and practicality in mind. To both port and starboard are two mirrored guest cabins, each fitted with twin berths, generous storage, and ensuite heads with separate showers, providing comfortable and flexible accommodations for family or guests.
Aft of the guest staterooms is the owner’s area, where the full-beam master suite offers a quiet and spacious retreat. There is a generous centerline queen berth, seating area, and beautiful cabinetry, bookcases, vanity/desk and hanging locker storage. All complemented by an ensuite head with shower, creating a true owner’s stateroom with separation from the guest spaces.
Forward of the salon are the galley, crew mess and crew quarters. The galley is bright and updated with new appliances and an abundance of storage, refrigeration and freezer space for extended voyaging. The cooking, counter and serving areas are well detailed for meal preparation in all conditions.
In addition, the crew lounge adjoins the galley with a comfortable seating and dining area. The crew staterooms include a captain’s cabin with double berth and an additional crew cabin with upper and lower bunks; both staterooms have their own ensuite heads/showers. Direct access down to the workspace and engine room from the crew area ensure efficient systems management without disturbing guests.
Overall, the layout aboard ALTAIR is thoughtfully and beautifully designed to balance owner comfort, guest privacy, and crew efficiency.
