Cavallo is a 42.9 m sailing yacht built by Baltic Yachts in 2003 (refitted 2022), for 10 guests in 4 cabins with 5 crew. Charter from €94,000 per week in summer (Pacific & Oceania); in winter from €94,000 (Fiji & Micronesia), plus expenses.
A Finnish-built Baltic sloop from 2003 with a sauna, a steam room and a dive set-up, now sailing the remote waters of the South Pacific with ten guests at most.
Cavallo comes from Baltic Yachts, a Finnish yard that builds large sailing yachts in composite. Launched in 2003 on a composite hull drawn by Judel/Vrolijk, she is a 43-metre sloop that sails rather than motors, with an interior by John Munford that leans towards warmth rather than showroom gloss. A refit in 2022 brought her up to date.
There is a nice irony in what she carries. A Finnish boat could hardly leave home without a sauna, and Cavallo has one, together with a steam room and a gym, even though she now spends her time in the tropics. Today she sails the South Pacific, with Fiji and French Polynesia among her cruising grounds, about as far from the Baltic as a yacht can get.
The set-up suits those waters. Her crew includes PADI-certified diving professionals, and with a compressor on board, guests can dive from the boat rather than book a shore operator. Her range of about 1,800 miles covers the long gaps between island groups, and a six-metre Ribtec tender handles reef runs and landings. The rest of the toy list, from an e-foil to a Laser dinghy, is there for days at anchor.
She is a good fit for a group of up to ten who want real sailing in a remote place, ideally with some divers among them. Couples travelling with friends and families with older children will be comfortable in four cabins: a master, a double and two twins. The crew of five is small, so service is friendly and direct rather than formal.
She is not the right boat for guests who dislike heel, or for those who want a big flat sun deck and a beach club. Below decks a sailing yacht of this size is snug compared with a motor yacht of the same length. And reaching the South Pacific takes long flights, which only makes sense if the islands themselves are the point of the trip.
