The motor sailer Santa Clara measures 91ft (28m) and was built in 2023 by Custom Made. Combining the romance of sail with the reliability of engine power, she carries 4 cabins – 3 Double, 1 Twin – for 8 overnight guests, with day charter capacity for 20. A crew of 6 manages all sailing and guest service, ensuring a smooth experience whether under canvas or under power.
Sailing & Comfort
What sets a motor sailer apart is the experience of moving under canvas when conditions allow, then switching to power for calm days or tight schedules. Santa Clara cruises at 9 knots and offers a deck jacuzzi and a swim platform among her features. The deck gives front-row seats to the sailing action while keeping dining and lounging areas accessible and sheltered. For guests who want to get involved, the crew is happy to teach the basics of sail handling; for those who prefer to spectate, the spacious deck offers the perfect vantage point.
Activities
6 water toys including a Seabob, two SUP boards, and water skis are on board, with the 13ft Tender available for shore excursions and coastal exploration. Anchoring under sail in a quiet bay, then spending the afternoon snorkeling or paddleboarding – motor sailers like Santa Clara make this effortless. The crew handles all equipment and logistics throughout.
