Surfari 50 2026

Inspired by the laid-back lifestyle of Jimmy Buffett, the Surfari 50 perfectly embodies the essence of 'island escapism.' As the proud owner of the first hull, Buffett looks forward to the yacht's compact design and user-friendly features, tailored for short-handed sailing, which promise to enhance his time on the water. According to naval architect Edward 'Ted' Fontaine, the Surfari 50 is an ideal getaway, whether docked in Sag Harbor during summer or cruising the Keys and Caribbean in winter. This high-performance auxiliary sailing yacht is designed for speed both under sail and power, ensuring it can reach exciting destinations while also serving as a luxurious indoor/outdoor living space. Fontaine, known for his elegant Friendship sailboats, drew inspiration from water sports for the Surfari 50's innovative 39-inch high, 11.5-foot wide 'tailgate' that transforms into a seamless area for enjoying water activities. The tailgate lowers when stationary, connecting the swim platform to the cockpit and deck salon, creating a spacious environment for equipment storage and launching. The interior helm station boasts 360-degree visibility through large sliding glass doors and windows, enhancing the open-air experience. With electric sail handling systems for effortless control of the fully battened mainsail, roller furling genoa, and asymmetrical spinnaker, all lines are conveniently routed to the helm. Constructed with lightweight composite materials, a carbon fiber mast and boom, and twin 75 HP engines, the Surfari 50 stands out among its peers. Fontaine notes that the yacht appeals to seasoned racing yacht owners who seek high performance and style as they transition into retirement, making the Surfari 50 a perfect match for those ready to embrace life on the water.
