1902 AILSA SHIPBUILDING CO. Vergleichen

Built by Ailsa Shipbuilding in Troon, Scotland in 1902, Madiz is a 55.4-metre motor yacht representing a remarkable piece of maritime history. As one of the few surviving vessels from the early 20th century and the largest classic motor yacht currently available, Madiz stands as an exceptional example of original construction and enduring quality. She holds the distinction of being the oldest vessel in operation to maintain Lloyd's classification, a testament to her robust steel hull and the care invested in her preservation.

Madiz accommodates 14 guests across 7 cabins and operates with a crew of 10, making her well-suited for extended voyaging and entertaining. The yacht is powered by two Mercedes 250Hp engines and is complemented by a 6-metre Riva Superflorida tender and a 6-metre classic launch. Her design and layout reflect the purposeful elegance of early 20th-century yacht building, combining generous volumes with practical functionality. The vessel was restored to Lloyd's 100A1 class classification and has been meticulously maintained as a classical yachting icon under current ownership since 2010.

Madiz appeals to discerning buyers seeking an authentic classic yacht with documented historical significance and proven seaworthiness. Her size, accommodation and crew arrangements make her suitable for private cruising, family gatherings and extended voyages. Owners of historic vessels such as this typically value the unique character, recognition and conversation that come with commanding a genuinely rare and storied yacht.
