4 Cabins | 8 Guests | 2 Crew Please Enquire

The 27.84m Sonny III was constructed at the Brooklin Boat Yard in Maine, United States. Launched in 2018, she was built for an experienced owner and subsequently acquired by a well-known figurehead of the superyacht industry who had a new vision for her future. 

The initial concept of Sonny III was to be a high-performance cruiser, but the new owner envisioned a complete upgrade of all systems, to further refine her with a top-of-the-line racing package. The works spanned several months and were completed by the experts at Brooklin Boat Yard in late 2021, at a cost of over $2,500,000. In addition to adding significant racing elements, she has also received a full paint job and many other upgrades.

Boasting a new custom carbon rig and all new cloth from North Sails, Sonny III joined the racing fleet in St Barths for the 2022 Bucket. Her magnificent shear-line, varnished toe-rails, ventilator boxes, pristine teak decks and new sails drew many admiring looks from fellow race participants and spectators. As usual, she turns heads everywhere she goes. 

Sonny III’s interior provides an extremely comfortable living space. The yacht is equipped with first-rate components for everything, from the galley equipment to her fixtures and soft furnishings. 

This sailing yacht has accommodations for eight guests in four cabins. There are three guest suites forward of the main saloon, and access to the full-beam master stateroom is either through the portside passageway, the galley or via a direct entryway from the helm cockpit on the aft deck. 

The open-plan saloon features a large elliptical dining table with a curved bank of seating, a built-in settee along the port side, a state-of-the-art navigation station, and a large, functional galley to starboard.

On deck, her twin cockpit configuration provides safe seating for guests amidships, while all sail handling is controlled from the aft helm. 

The foredeck area is carefully laid out with flush deck hatches and stainless dorades for proper cabin ventilation. There is a sail locker in the bow, windlass winch, dual anchor rollers, and a removable pulpit for proper sail management when racing.

She has a hydraulic fold-down swim platform for access to the water, and a full-beam lazarette that has been outfitted with custom shelving to assist with organisation of her loose equipment, parts and cleaning supplies.   

Sonny III promises the best of both worlds, fit-out for racing, yet also with the ability to serve as a wonderful weekend cruiser for family adventures. She cruises with effortless capability and the gears can easily switch into racing mode when desired.
