About
PURITANBuilt by the legendary American naval architect John G. Alden, PURITAN is a remarkable 38.4-meter luxury crewed sailing yacht constructed by the historic Electric Boat Company. Approaching her centennial year, she stands as one of the most significant classic yachts still in active service. Immaculately restored and meticulously maintained, PURITAN embodies timeless elegance and resilience—qualities formally recognized when she was awarded La Belle Classe at the Monaco Classic Week Concours d’Elegance in 2019 by H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco. Refit most recently in 2023, she welcomes up to 8 guests in 4 beautifully appointed cabins, with Captain Pandolfi and his highly experienced crew delivering an exceptional classic yachting experience. She is based in Port Heli and available for luxury sailing yacht charter in Greece.
Launched initially as a private yacht, PURITAN served with distinction during World War II after being commissioned by the U.S. Navy, patrolling off the Mexican coast and participating in historic submarine sightings. In the decades that followed, she hosted scientific expeditions for the American Museum of Natural History, cruised the Caribbean in refined luxury, and achieved racing success under the ownership of various notable owners.
From supporting Italy’s Il Moro di Venezia America’s Cup campaign to private Mediterranean and Caribbean cruising, PURITAN’s legacy is unmatched. Today, under the stewardship of a passionate classic yacht collector, she remains one of the finest surviving examples of Alden’s design—offering discerning guests the rare opportunity to charter a classic yacht in Greek waters.
If you have any questions—whether it’s about destinations, activities, yacht features or anything else—don’t hesitate to ask. We're here to ensure this is the most unforgettable experience you've ever had.
