2009 Brooklin Boat Yard 91ft

A high-performance world cruiser with an unmatched regatta pedigree, BEQUIA is a 91-foot yawl built in 2009 by the revered Brooklin Boat Yard in Maine. Offered for sale by her original owner and longtime captain, she represents an opportunity to acquire a classically styled, competition-proven yacht that has been professionally maintained and consistently upgraded. Designed by Stephens Waring Yacht Design with inspiration from Joel White’s legendary aesthetic, BEQUIA combines traditional craftsmanship with advanced engineering. She is listed at an asking price that reflects her exceptional build, condition, and race-winning record.

BEQUIA was conceived to cruise the world and win regattas along the way, and she’s done both. Her cold-molded hull is composed of Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, and Sipo Mahogany, reinforced with biaxial fiberglass and West System epoxy. She features a shoal fin keel with a 43,000lb lead shoe, and a carbon fiber spade rudder for responsive handling. Her sail plan is engineered for performance: Southern Spars carbon masts and Future Fibers EC6 carbon standing rigging, serviced in 2025, support her up-to-date North Sails inventory for both racing and cruising. In-boom furling on both main and mizzen allow for efficient sail handling, and she can be sailed nearly singlehanded if desired.

In fall 2025, BEQUIA underwent a thorough round of technical service and upgrades to key systems. This included new house and engine starter batteries, replacement of all black and grey water sump pumps (including the macerator), and installation of a new air conditioning chiller and fan coil system. The fuel transfer pump was replaced, and the main salon furniture was reupholstered. Her masts and booms were fully disassembled and serviced, with high-load areas inspected using ultrasonic NDT (non-destructive testing) techniques. Cosmetic updates included localized paint touchups to the topsides.

Below deck, BEQUIA offers a warm, inviting interior that blends traditional New England style with practical seafaring design. Her pilothouse provides 360-degree views through finely proportioned windows, with surrounding lounges ideal for relaxing underway. The salon features Douglas fir joinery, a custom-built fireplace, and thoughtful touches such as a built-in loveseat and Wallace sofa. Forward, the galley is fully equipped for gourmet cooking at sea and provides seamless access to the crew spaces and captain’s cabin aft. Accommodations include a full-beam owner’s stateroom aft with ensuite bath, a forward guest cabin with twin berths and private head, and an additional single guest/crew cabin midships.

Exterior living is equally well-considered. Her classic yawl profile and varnished pilothouse evoke a timeless elegance, while her modern functionality includes a hydraulically operated side boarding platform, cleverly concealed in the topsides, that serves as both a tender dock and a swim platform. A hydraulic arm deploys the primary anchor from a flush deck locker, keeping her clean lines uninterrupted. A Novurania tender with 50hp outboard is stored in custom carbon fiber chocks. Dive gear for six and two folding bikes round out her adventure capabilities.

BEQUIA’s race record speaks for itself: victories at the Candy Store Cup, America’s Cup Superyacht Regatta, Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta, and Antigua Classic, among others. Her systems have been freshly updated with new batteries, AC and refrigeration, and soft goods in late 2025. With only one owner and one professional captain since launch, she is in turnkey condition and ready for her next chapter.

A singular yacht for a sailor who values performance, heritage, and elegance in equal measure, BEQUIA is a rare find in today’s market.

Description

BEQUIA is a rare find — a high-performance world cruiser with serious regatta credentials and timeless style. Built in 2009 by the legendary Brooklin Boat Yard in Maine, she blends traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering in a way few yachts can.

Still with her original owner and longtime captain, BEQUIA has been professionally maintained and consistently upgraded since launch. She’s a yacht that’s been cared for by the same hands that built her sailing legacy — and it shows.

From the start, BEQUIA was designed to do both — cruise oceans comfortably and compete successfully. Her cold-molded hull is a work of art, crafted from Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, and Sipo Mahogany, all reinforced with biaxial fiberglass and epoxy for strength and durability.

Her rig is all business: Southern Spars carbon masts, Future Fibers EC6 rigging, and an up-to-date North Sails inventory for racing and passage making alike. In-boom furling on both the main and mizzen makes sail handling efficient and even allows for short-handed or near-singlehanded sailing — impressive for a yacht of her size.

Step below and BEQUIA feels like a New England coastal home at sea — warm, inviting, and built with purpose. The pilothouse offers 360° visibility, with comfortable seating for watching the world go by underway.

The main salon is beautifully detailed in Douglas Fir, centered around a custom fireplace and built-in seating that gives it a cozy, timeless feel. Forward, the galley is fully equipped for serious cooking and connects naturally with the crew spaces and captain’s cabin aft.

BEQUIA’s exterior is as practical as it is beautiful. Her classic yawl profile and varnished pilothouse are unmistakable, while clever modern details make life aboard easy:

Hydraulic side boarding platform doubles as a tender dock or swim deck
Flush deck anchor locker with hydraulic arm keeps her lines clean

Whether you’re setting out on a blue water passage or preparing for your next regatta, BEQUIA is a yacht that’s ready to go — and built to impress.

Pilothouse

Bequia’s raised pilothouse is both a sheltered helm and a comfortable lounge. Built in teak, it offers clear views, a full navigation station, and settees for dining or relaxing. The space is practical at sea, giving crew a protected steering option with an inside joystick control. Traditional butterfly hatches provide light and airflow, keeping the area bright and fresh. Designed for comfort and function, the pilothouse works equally well for navigating in bad weather or gathering with guests, making it the centerpiece of life aboard.

On Deck

On deck, Bequia carries a classic cutter yawl rig that delivers excellent balance and seakeeping, making her equally suited to offshore passage making and competitive racing. This versatile rig setup provides multiple sail plan options for changing conditions, ensuring the yacht remains stable, manageable, and fast on long passages.

For performance, Bequia is equipped with carbon fiber masts and carbon standing rigging, reducing weight aloft and improving stability. Her suite of North Sails 3Di racing and cruising sails provides generous power across the wind range, making helming both responsive and exciting. This combination of traditional rig design and modern materials gives Bequia the rare ability to blend elegance with serious performance offshore.

Salon

The main salon on Bequia is bright, open, and designed as the heart of the yacht. A gas fireplace with a hidden flatscreen TV creates a warm focal point, while an L-shaped settee and sofa provide comfortable seating for guests. The raised-panel joinery, white overheads, and dark cabin sole give the space a classic yet relaxed feel. Large ports bring in natural light and maintain connection to the sea. The salon also includes a dedicated dining area and built-in storage, making it practical for extended cruising. Whether relaxing, entertaining, or dining, the salon is both elegant and functional.

Galley

Bequia’s galley is designed for serious cruising, with full-size appliances, generous counter space, and ample cold storage. Built-in cabinets and lockers keep provisions organized for extended passages, while durable finishes ensure practicality at sea. Positioned for easy access to both crew and guest areas, the galley supports everything from casual meals to full onboard entertaining.

Master Stateroom And Head

The aft, full-beam owner’s suite offers privacy and comfort with a queen berth, ample hanging lockers, and built-in storage for extended cruising. Traditional joinery and light finishes create a warm atmosphere, while large ports bring in natural light and ventilation. A private en suite includes a separate shower and generous counter space. Designed for functionality and elegance, this suite is a quiet retreat at sea or at anchor.

Forward Guest Stateroom And Head

Midships Guest Stateroom And Head

The starboard midships guest cabin features a comfortable double berth with built-in lockers and storage, making it well-suited for extended cruising. Traditional joinery and light finishes maintain the yacht’s classic interior style, while ports bring in natural light and ventilation. A private en suite with shower ensures guests have the same comfort and practicality offered throughout Bequia.

Captain's Quarters And Head

The captain’s cabin, located aft near the galley, provides a private berth with built-in storage and a functional layout for extended time onboard. Ports bring in light and ventilation, while traditional joinery maintains the yacht’s warm interior style. A private en suite with shower ensures the captain enjoys comfort and practicality while remaining close to the yacht’s working areas.
