About Us – SV Free Spirit

Welcome aboard SV Free Spirit, a timeless cruising yacht with a rich history and an enduring passion for the open sea. Our journey began with the dream of sailing across the world’s oceans, experiencing new horizons, and embracing the freedom of the wind and waves. Whether you're an experienced sailor or a dreamer hoping to one day set sail, we invite you to join us on this adventure of a lifetime.

Our Boat: SV Free Spirit

SV Free Spirit is a classic Alden Dolphin 47, built for adventure and designed with both comfort and performance in mind. Designed by the legendary naval architect John G. Alden, the Dolphin 47 combines exceptional seaworthiness with timeless beauty. With its full keel, elegant lines, and spacious interior, Free Spirit is more than just a vessel—it’s a home on the water.

Though she’s built for bluewater cruising, her craftsmanship and character also make her a standout in any harbor. Whether at anchor in a tropical bay or slicing through the waves on a passage, Free Spirit continues to inspire all who come aboard.

Our Mission

At SV Free Spirit, our mission is simple: to embrace the freedom of the sea. We believe in the power of sailing to connect people to nature, to each other, and to the world in profound ways. Our goal is to share our passion for life on the water and to inspire others to take the plunge and explore what lies beyond the horizon.

We strive to be a resource for other sailors, sharing the ups and downs of our journey—from daily life aboard a classic yacht to the challenges and joys of long-distance cruising. This website is our way of documenting our experiences, sharing our lessons learned, and offering inspiration to those who dream of life at sea.
