The 27.50m DARK STAR OF LONDON is a magnificent yacht originally built by the famous French shipyard Tréhard and designed by the renowned naval architect Martin Francis, whose practical and elegant designs are celebrated for blending performance with refined comfort.
DARK STAR OF LONDON was completely rebuilt in 2000-2002 at Camper & Nicholsons from a bare aluminium hull and deck. Stripped to the metal, she received an entirely new engineering backbone, all-new electrical systems, redesigned luxurious cherry-wood interior, fresh teak decks and more. Further perfected through major upgrades in 2023-2024 and into 2026, she now stands as the ultimate modern classic sailing yacht from the Tréhard/Martin Francis pedigree.
Ideal for cruising with family or friends, she is one of the rare yachts offered for charter with 5 en-suite cabins for 10 guests. Each cabin has its own shower room. You will find a master cabin, two cabins with double beds, and two cabins with bunk beds. Air conditioning ensures comfort in all cabins, even on the hottest days and nights.
As for the exterior, DARK STAR OF LONDON has a teak deck with sun loungers to enjoy the sun. This yacht also has a superb stern platform, ideal for water sports or access to the water for a swim. DARK STAR OF LONDON has a generous cockpit with plenty of seating and a central folding table for alfresco dining. The boat is equipped with a bimini for optimum comfort in all weathers. The helm station is separated and located aft.
Inside, you will find an elegant cherry-wood saloon, comfortable furnishings and a host of modern features. The saloon is spacious, with the living room to starboard and the dining table to port. All guest cabins are located forward of the saloon, separated from the crew areas to respect the privacy of guests on board.
When it comes to entertainment, you have everything you need on board for a great holiday: water sports activities, a good Wi-Fi connection and an outdoor screen for movie nights.
Every detail reflects the extraordinary 2001 bare-hull rebirth at Camper & Nicholsons, the timeless Tréhard shipyard heritage, and the elegant vision of Martin Francis — creating a true phoenix of performance sailing and timeless elegance through 2026.
