About the Yacht

DOÑA FRANCISCA is a 52-metre custom sailing yacht inspired by the great schooners of the early twentieth century. Delivered by Astillero Buquebus in 2014 after a five-year build, she is one of the world's largest carbon-fibre schooners and a rare proposition for discerning sailors and collectors. Designed by Javier Soto Acebal, her sweeping sheerline and traditional rig are paired with an advanced carbon-fibre hull, mast and boom, reducing weight while delivering strength and ocean-going performance. Proven through successful transatlantic passages, she combines global cruising capability with a relatively shallow draft that opens access to secluded anchorages. Her handcrafted interior accommodates eight guests in four cabins, including a luxurious owner's suite, with teak, mahogany and bronze detailing throughout. Expansive decks provide space for sailing, alfresco dining and relaxation, supported by dedicated crew accommodation. Following a comprehensive 2024 refit, DOÑA FRANCISCA offers timeless character, modern comfort and proven blue-water capability in an exceptionally distinctive custom yacht.

Characteristics

Accommodation

Owner The owner's quarters reflect a dedication to classical elegance, with bronze fixtures and wood finishes that echo the grandeur of early 1900s yachts. Spacious and refined, the suite offers privacy and comfort, enhanced by natural light streaming through deck prisms. Guests Four guest cabins accommodate up to eight guests in refined luxury. Each cabin is designed with classical styling, blending wood and bronze details with modern amenities. The main salon and dining room span the yacht's beam, providing communal spaces for relaxation and fine dining. Crew Up to seven crew members are housed in dedicated quarters designed for efficiency and comfort. The yacht was engineered to be manned with as few as five crew, ensuring operational ease.
