Heliad III

One owner has looked after Heliad III since she was new in 2020, and that continuity shows in a steel-hulled explorer built for distance rather than a season of hard charter use. Lynx Yachts delivered her as a custom 92-foot yacht, and Corfu is where she lies today, ready for a new owner to take over that same single-owner history.

Build and provenance

Her hull is steel and her superstructure aluminium, a combination built for range and low running costs rather than outright speed. At 28 metres and 101 gross tonnes, she carries more interior volume than many yachts of her length, and her load line falls under a threshold that brings lighter regulatory requirements without giving up living space. For a buyer, that means a yacht built to cross open water and to run efficiently once she gets there.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests are accommodated in four cabins, one of them a master suite set on the main deck rather than below, keeping that owner's cabin off the stairs guests use day to day. Four crew look after them.

Performance and engineering

Twin 493 hp Cummins QSC8.3 engines drive Heliad III to a 10-knot cruise and a 14-knot top speed, modest numbers that match a long-range steel hull built to cover distance efficiently rather than post a sprint speed. Stabilisers keep her steady underway, and that same low-key approach carries through to a bow thruster and crane aboard, both built for handling and tender work in busier harbours.

On deck and at anchor

On deck, a swimming platform and foredeck seating provide simple gathering points, and a bow thruster and crane make short-handed harbour work and tender handling easier. WiFi, satellite TV and air conditioning keep the cabins comfortable at anchor, and sunpads give guests somewhere to spend a still afternoon.

Where she lies and how to see her

Heliad III lies in Corfu, Greece, and we bring buyers to see her there in person rather than relying on photographs alone. Once an offer is accepted, we move straight to survey and sea trial before any handover is discussed.
