The Boreal 47 you were looking at might have sold, but interest in this legendary bluewater cruiser is far from over. Named Cruising World’s 2018 Import Boat of the Year, the Boreal 47 continues to set the bar for high-latitude, long-range expedition yachts—and it’s easy to see why.
Built for the Ends of the Earth
Designed and built in Tréguier, France, by Boreal Yachts, the Boreal 47 was created by long-distance sailors for long-distance sailors. Founded by Jean-François Delvoye, a seasoned sailor and circumnavigator, Boreal is known for crafting aluminum expedition sailboats that blend rugged reliability with thoughtful, livable interiors.
The design philosophy is clear: Boreal boats are built to go where most others won’t. Ice-ready aluminum hulls, lifting centerboards, protected helm stations, and deep storage make them ideal for high-latitude and off-the-grid cruising.
