Sinbad, the 40-metre expedition yacht will soon be back out to sea following its sale last week. The negotiations for the American designed yacht were made by Yacht Brokers Paul Daubner and Jacobus Stofberg, representing Northrop & Johnson. Whilst Jeff Stanley from Gilman Yachts stood in for the buyer. The papers were signed and the deal closed in Washington on the 16th September with a final asking price of $3,950,000.
The Hatteras explorer yacht was first built in 1995, when she sailed under her old name Charisma Allegra. Her exterior and naval architecture were drawn up by Jack Hargrave, while her interior was entrusted to Dee Robinson Interiors. Over the years she has received continuous refits - her latest in 2020, which brought an entire system overhaul allowing her to charge forth with state-of-the-art features.
Sinbad has been described as embodying “the ultimate intersection of advanced technology, wood-panelled luxury and premium amenities for family cruising and entertainment.” And it’s easy to see why. Her interior is warm and welcoming and cut through with sophistication. She has five spacious staterooms and an elegant lounge area that is the perfect playground for hosting up to ten guests. Sinbad has a full-beam master suite that is steadfast to its commitment to comfort and privacy. This explorer yacht also holds three queen-bed staterooms and an additional twin stateroom- each fitted with a private en-suite. 
On the outer decks, Sinbad delivers a full-beam skylounge and main salon that are designed for leisure. They are also the perfect spot for sun worshipers, thanks to the large windows throughout. Alfresco dining is also possible across all three of her decks, and with her deck temperature controls this experience can be had all year round. Down on the swim platform, Sinbad is equipped with loads of toys, including a barbecue, a jacuzzi, and storage for a tender. 
Sinbad is propelled by twin Detroit Diesel engines which give her a cruising speed of 18 knots and a top speed of 24 knots. She was only on the market for 72 days.
