Broker's comments

The classic M/Y RAIATEA is a beautifully crafted vessel built in 1938 by the renowned Scottish shipbuilder James A. Silver Ltd. of Rosneath. Exemplifying the elegant lines and fine craftsmanship typical of Silver’s M/Yachts of the era, RAIATEA features a sturdy wooden hull, graceful sheer, & traditional profile that combine seaworthiness with timeless charm. Originally designed for comfortable coastal cruising, she represents the golden age of British yacht building, where attention to detail and quality materials were paramount. Today, RAIATEA is an example of classic yacht design & Heritage.
