Uhuru: The Ultimate Adventure Yacht

Experience the perfect blend of luxury, performance, and freedom.

Uhuru is a premium 45-foot Coastal Craft yacht designed for owners who value craftsmanship, comfort, and cutting-edge technology. Built to ABYC standards using marine-grade aluminum, Uhuru delivers superior strength, reduced maintenance, and impressive fuel efficiency—providing confidence wherever your journey leads. Proven in real-world cruising, she has taken her current experienced owners from Newfoundland, Canada to the Bahamas in comfort and safety, and is now ready to offer her next owner the same reliable, comfortable adventures.

Why Choose Uhuru?

Marine-Grade Aluminum Construction: Combined with a protective epoxy barrier coat, this provides unmatched durability and reduced maintenance, ensuring years of reliable adventure even in challenging conditions.

Long-Range Capability: Cruise up to 1,500 nautical miles off-grid—ideal for long passages and reaching remote destinations that most yachts never see.

Advanced Off-Grid Systems: High-capacity lithium-ion batteries, solar panels, a generator, a powerful water maker, and Starlink satellite internet support extended voyages without compromise.

Spacious Luxury: Entertainment space for ten and accommodations for up to six guests with elegant cherry interiors, a chef’s galley-up, and private staterooms, providing comfort and style wherever you anchor.

Documented Service History: The previous and current owners of Uhuru were like-minded in maintaining Uhuru at the highest standards. All systems are scrupulously maintained and have been upgraded when warranted. Detailed service history is documented in Quartermaster, and this data will be transferred to the new owner.
