About PURITAN

Welcome aboard the Bijoux of the Mediterranean!

Built by one of the most acclaimed American naval architects, John G. Alden, and approaching her centennial year, there is nothing that can be said here to do justice to her illustrious and resilient history. There are books dedicated to just that.

Immaculately restored and maintained by her owner, where exacting winter works are an annual affair in which no expense is spared, she is class personified. Recognised as such by H.S.H Prince Albert II of Monaco, as he awarded her with first place for La Belle Classe at the Concours d’Elegance of Monaco Classic Week in 2019.

Refit in 2023 and welcoming 8 guests in 4 beautifully appointed cabins, the inimitable Captain Pandolfi and his exceptional crew are expert in delivering the pinnacle of classic yachting experiences.

HISTORY

Originally built for Edward M. Brown at the Electric Boat Company (the same shipyard that constructed US Navy submarines!) Puritan began as a private yacht before serving in World War II. She was commissioned by the US Navy in 1941 to patrol off the Mexican coast, even contributing to the sighting of a Japanese submarine.

After the war, under new ownership, she became the base for an expedition led by the American Museum of Natural History, collecting significant marine specimens. In 1967, she was restored by Mariano Prado-Sosa and sailed as a luxurious Caribbean yacht before passing through various owners, including Bill Bolling, who raced her to victory in the Mystic Schooner Race.

In 1991, Puritan joined the prestigious Ferruzzi family, supporting Italy’s Il Moro di Venezia America’s Cup campaign. For decades, she sailed privately across the Mediterranean and the Caribbean until her acquisition in 2015 by her current owner, a passionate collector of classic yachts. Today, she remains one of the finest examples of Alden’s design, available once again for exclusive cruising.

S/Y PURITAN (38m)

At 126 feet (38 meters), Puritan is a gaff-rigged schooner of rare distinction, celebrated as one of the world’s most significant classic yachts. Among the few that have preserved their authenticity entirely, she stands as a timeless testament to maritime excellence. From her very inception, Puritan’s history has been nothing short of extraordinary. Constructed with pioneering steel manufacturing techniques, she played an instrumental role in shaping a revolutionary new form of submarine construction, an innovation that contributed to the Allied victory in World War II. Over the course of her remarkable life, she has borne witness to some of the most pivotal moments of the 20th century, including her service in the U.S. Navy in 1942, protecting the West Coast, and her involvement in historical and scientific research with esteemed international museums. Shrouded in mystery and intrigue, Puritan’s storied past only deepens the sense of wonder that accompanies sailing aboard her as she gracefully explores the Mediterranean coastline. To step aboard is to step into history itself - her legacy woven into every detail, her spirit unmatched. In a class of her own, Puritan is not merely a yacht; she is a living legend.
