IT JUST SO HAPPENS, SOME YACHTS SIMPLY MAKE YOU WANT TO DO MORE

Racing out to new destinations is what the elegant Squadron 68 is designed for. Take in your surroundings from the elevated flybridge, with the breeze on your face and the horizon all around you. Dine with friends in the single-level saloon, served from the well-equipped galley. Lightness, space and a fluid design make time above or below deck both graceful and free-flowing. With no question, this is a yacht that will move you.
Spend all day on the expansive flybridge, with three individually-styled areas to suit your mood. From triple sun loungers to sumptuous dining to forward seating, the Squadron 68 adapts to whatever you want to do, whenever you want to do it. Whether resting at anchor or cruising off shore, adjust your environment to enhance your experience, just the way you like it.
With contemporary styling the Squadron 68 is effortlessly modern. Packed with the latest technologies, the highest quality of materials and made, by hand, in England. The new Squadron 68 pairs fashionable convenience with a considered layout ensuring family adventures beckon every time you approach its sheer, alluring beauty.
A generous layout with multiple entertaining areas and all conveniences provided, ensures you can relax and socialise with ease on board the Squadron 68.
Three beautifully defined areas on the large flybridge makes time spent together both enjoyable and effortless.
A modern specification with a glass-bridge helm reflects the stylish design of the entire yacht, above and below deck.
