Baltic 50 for sale in Stockholm Sweden

SPIRIT is Baltic 50, number 08 and was delivered new to her current owner in 2003.

Mostly she has been sailed in Swedish waters and stored ashore inside each winter.

In 2009 the yacht was sailed to the Caribbean. After the season there she was shipped back, via the UK where she was imported and VAT paid. She returned on home to Sweden after.

In the winter ofthe yacht was placed with Baltic Yachts the builder in Finland for a full refit.

The brief for the re-fit was “rebuild Spirit to how you would have built her today”. The owners view was that she was his "forever boat" and he wanted her in top shape and fully upgraded. So much so that the following winter he again returned the yacht to Baltic for further improvements.

Total cost of the refit including material exceeded €460.000. Close to 4.000 hours. Further details in the specifications below.

Since autumn 2013 SPIRIT has been stored indoors in a private, heated storage.

This is a very special yacht in outstanding condition.
