A Jewel in the Caribbean

Pure luxury and elegance. She is beautifully proportioned with a sleek hull and finely tuned rig, and offers performance that belies the comfort of the generous living space below.

Lifesong II provides elegant comfort and generous living space, recently enhanced to a new high standard during her refit at Pendennis Shipyard in the UK.

Life on board is centred around the main saloon and the centrally-located cockpit, both of which provide a superb setting for relaxation at meal times or whenever you wish to unwind and let the world drift by.

Lifesong II's deck is beautifully finished in teak and her sleak lines make being on deck a real pleasure with little to disturb the magnificent views that are such a feature of the Caribbean. In all, she is the ideal yacht for spending memorable times, either with friends, family or just as you are.
