NORTHERN CROSS

NORTHERN CROSS is a 43.25-metre aluminium motor yacht built by Marinteknik Verkstad in 1991 to a custom design by Tor Hinders. Now in her fourth decade, she represents a Scandinavian approach to aluminium construction that prioritised structural integrity and sea-keeping in a period when lightweight alloy hulls were less common in the superyacht sector. She is available for charter in Corsica, Sardinia, and Calvi.

She accommodates up to 10 guests in five cabins, with a crew of eight — a ratio that supports attentive service for a group of this size. NORTHERN CROSS is most appropriate for guests who value character, age-appropriate patina, and an established vessel with known sea-keeping qualities over the amenity density of a newer build. Clients expecting the interior finish and systems specification of a contemporary yacht will find a different set of expectations applies here; the appeal of a 1991 aluminium vessel is one of provenance and robustness rather than recent construction.

At 330 gross tonnes with a maximum speed of 24 knots, the vessel performs well for her age and construction. The aluminium hull, combined with Marinteknik's reputation for structural rigour, gives NORTHERN CROSS a passage-making durability that extends her range to 2,061 nautical miles — practical for covering the Corsican and Sardinian circuit with flexibility. Air conditioning and a deck jacuzzi represent the primary recorded comfort amenities.

The onboard experience is defined by the Tyrrhenian Sea territory she occupies. Scuba diving equipment, including a compressor and seven wetsuits, Seabobs, electric GoCycle bikes, paddleboards, wakeboards, towables, and snorkelling gear support an active programme. The crew of eight works a well-understood platform suited to this regional charter yacht circuit, and the vessel's longevity in service speaks to the quality of her original construction and ongoing maintenance.
