Beating to her own drum

Drumbeat is a 53m sailing yacht built by New Zealand shipyard, Alloy Yachts. Her exterior design is penned by Dubois Naval Architects, with accompanying interiors also created by Alloy Yachts. The yacht blends top-level sailing performance with excellent seaworthiness. Drumbeat won the 2005 Rolex Transatlantic Challenge. An unusual design feature is the single-level layout, running from the cockpit through the salon and dining area. Drumbeat has a full-width owners' stateroom, a host of water toys, and cruises with a top speed of 14 knots making her the perfect charter yacht for exploring in comfort. Drumbeat is available for sale and charter - contact our team to discuss the charter or purchase of this iconic sailing yacht.

Where Performance Meets Poise

A winner of the 2005 Rolex Transatlantic Challenge, Drumbeat proves that elegance and edge can sail side by side. Designed by the legendary Ed Dubois, this performance ketch handles like a dream under sail — yet remains whisper-quiet and calm at anchor. Whether racing or relaxing, she’s a true icon on the water, delivering exhilaration with refinement.

A Deck Designed for Everything

Drumbeat’s teak decks are more than just beautiful — they’re brilliantly liveable. The aft cockpit sets the scene for shaded dining with a sea breeze. The flybridge becomes your private regatta perch or starlit dinner lounge. Forward, wide sunpads invite lazy afternoons, while the convertible transom creates a beach club feel, ready for swim sessions and water sports.

Space to Unwind, Style to Impress

Inside, the 2019 refit brings warm minimalism to a classic layout. Think rich wood, curated artwork, and natural textures. The full-beam salon offers dual lounging zones and a sleek dining area, while the forward office gives you space to plug in — or unplug entirely. It’s sailing yacht soul, refined for today’s luxury charter guest.
