UNITED SPIRIT – Historic High-Performance Yacht (1938)

UNITED SPIRIT was originally built in 1938 for the Kreuger family and boasts an extraordinary maritime heritage. She was constructed at the renowned Swedish shipyard Götaverken and designed by respected naval architect Knut Ljungberg.

The yacht has undergone two complete renovations, the most recent in 2004, during which new engines were installed. Today she represents a rare combination of classic pedigree and modern performance.

Her aluminum hull is fitted with a special class-approved sandwich-structured composite surface coating, enhancing hydrodynamic efficiency and delivering exceptionally smooth sailing characteristics.

Performance Legacy

UNITED SPIRIT was recognized as the world’s fastest yacht in the 1990s and remains among the three fastest yachts in her category. Her remarkable speed allows her to cover more than twice the distance per hour compared to traditional displacement yachts.

She is powered by KaMeWa 45 S62/6 waterjets, delivering extraordinary acceleration and handling.
