50' Galapagos Sailing Yacht / Ketch

SV Flycatcher is a legendary blue water voyager, a veteran of seven successful ocean crossings, including six trans-Atlantic passages and a recent 4,000nm Indian Ocean voyage in 2025. This Swiss-maintained steel ketch is built for extreme durability and oceanic comfort, designed by D. Duvergie for reliable long-distance cruising.

Fully modernized for the 2026 season, the vessel features over $5,000 in new 2024/25 electronics, including Starlink Mini, Iridium Go, and a complete Timezero Navigator suite with professional routing and offline maps. The robust energy system includes a 600W solar array with dedicated starter and service battery banks.

Maintained by a ship engineer, the reliable 80HP Ford Diesel is in sea-ready condition. The hull, deck, and antifouling were fully updated in 2024 with premium Jotun Marine paints.

The interior offers a spacious 3-cabin, 7-berth layout with a dedicated separate workshop and full tool set.

Ideally located in the duty-free hub of Langkawi, Malaysia, she is perfectly positioned for tax-free maintenance and exploration of Southeast Asia. The current price reflects a generous "refit credit" for the buyer to manage the next scheduled haul-out and minor rigging/sail updates.

Full inventory, photos, and videos are available.

The Opportunity: SV Flycatcher is a Swiss-maintained Galapagos 50 steel ketch, designed by D. Duvergie for extreme durability and oceanic comfort.

Following a successful 4,000nm crossing in 2025 (Kenya Seychelles Maldives Malaysia), she has once again proven her status as a premier long-distance voyager.

To facilitate a smooth sale as the owner relocates, the price has been adjusted to USD 44,500. This reflects a significant "refit credit," allowing the new owner to manage the 2026 haul-out and standard maintenance while acquiring a world-class steel hull equipped with over $5,000 in brand-new 2024/25 electronics.
