Surfari 50 2025

The Surfari 50 embodies the vibrant lifestyle of Jimmy Buffett, known for its island escapism and relaxation. As the proud owner of the very first hull, Buffett looks forward to how this compact design, crafted by renowned naval architect Edward "Ted" Fontaine and built by Pacific Seacraft in North Carolina, facilitates a simpler life on the water. He envisions it as a perfect retreat whether he's in Sag Harbor for summer or enjoying the warmth of the Keys and Caribbean in winter. Fontaine highlights the Surfari 50's remarkable features, stating it combines high performance under both sail and power, making it an efficient means to reach beautiful destinations. Once anchored, it transforms into a luxurious indoor/outdoor living space, allowing for an immersive experience in the surroundings. Fontaine, known for his elegant Friendship sailboats, infused the Surfari 50 with inspiration from his passion for paddle boarding, surfing, and kayaking, resulting in a unique 39-inch high and 11.5-foot wide "tailgate". This feature lowers for easy access and connects a seamless floor plan stretching from the swim platform through the cockpit to the deck salon and steering station, creating a clutter-free zone for watersports gear. With 360-degree visibility from the helm, enhanced by a large sliding glass bulkhead and expansive windows, the Surfari 50 offers an airy environment. Its advanced sail handling system allows for effortless control of the fully battened mainsail, roller furling genoa, and an asymmetrical spinnaker. The yacht's lightweight composite construction, carbon fiber mast and boom, and twin 75 HP engines set it apart from other vessels in its class. Fontaine notes that Buffett represents the ideal owner for the Surfari 50, appealing to seasoned racing yacht enthusiasts who prioritize performance and technology. As they transition towards retirement, these individuals seek speed and style on the water.
