Manufacturer History

The Ancasta Marine company eventually became the Ancasta Brokerage operation as we know it today. The Ancasta Surprise 58 was designed by Dutchman Pieter Beeldsnijider. The boats were built in Taiwan and imported to the Isle of Wight for finishing and commissioning. Each boat being a semi-custom build to suit the commissioning owners requirement.

At one stage it was proposed a one-design fleet of Surprise 58’s would compete in a ‘race within a race’ as part of the 1985 Whitbread Around The World race. The idea was to offer a low budget alternative to the one-off maxi yachts which dominated the event fleet at that time. Sadly this idea never made it to the start line.

12 examples of the class were built in the early 1980’s. The hull of the Surprise 58 became the base of the Tayana 55 in later years.
