Melody Sailing Yacht
About Melody
Owning a yacht built to Lloyd's classification standard changes what a survey looks like from the outset: the record already carries recognised checks rather than starting from nothing. Ridas Yacht delivered Melody in 2022 as an aluminium sailing yacht with a monohull and classic styling, and an owner inherits that build standard from day one.
Build and provenance
She measures 42 metres, 136 feet, with a beam of 7.4 metres and a gross tonnage of 147. Her aluminium hull and classic styling come from a yard building to Lloyd's class, a standard that keeps her survey history legible rather than resting on a builder's word alone.
Layout and accommodation
Aboard Melody, four cabins accommodate 8 guests as staterooms rather than open berths, and the main salon carries the lounge and dining area that a sailing yacht of this size needs as her principal living space when the deck is given over to sail handling. For an owner, that keeps entertaining and daily life under cover regardless of weather.
Performance and engineering
Under power she cruises at 8 knots and reaches 11 knots flat out, figures that describe her sailing performance is where the distance gets covered.
On deck and at anchor
Her tender sits in an integrated stern garage rather than out on deck, which keeps the profile clean.
Where she lies and how to see her
Melody is offered for sale through Boatcrowd, who arrange viewings and attend them in person. A survey and sea trial follow once an offer is accepted, carried out against the class standard already built into her.

Buying Costs
- Survey
- A buyer normally commissions a condition survey, and a sea trial, once an offer is accepted and before the sale becomes unconditional. The cost depends on her size and on where she is lifted, and it is the buyer who appoints the surveyor.
- Registration and flag
- She will be registered on a flag of the buyer's choosing, which carries its own fees and its own survey and crew requirements. Where the yacht is owned through a company, the shares rather than the vessel may change hands, which changes what is payable.
- VAT and import
- Whether VAT is due, and where, depends on the yacht's current status, her flag, the buyer's residency and where she is delivered. Where the seller has stated her VAT status, it is shown with the asking price on her page, and it is confirmed in writing before an offer is made.
- Running costs
- Crew, berthing, insurance, class and annual maintenance continue from the day she is yours. A yacht that is also chartered earns against them, and we will set out what her season has actually returned before you commit.
