SQUIRTLE

SQUIRTLE — Fjord, 2013 — 10.80 m / 35 ft Fjord builds boats with a face you recognise from a distance: that near-vertical plumb bow, the hard-edged hull lines, the deliberate absence of anything decorative. SQUIRTLE, launched in 2013, belongs squarely to that school — a day boat conceived around speed, deck space and the water itself rather than around interior volume. She is built for daylight. The Balearics suit her exactly: the run out to Formentera, a morning at anchor off Es Trenc, a slow return along the coast as the light drops. Sheltered seating forward, open deck aft, and the kind of freeboard that keeps the sea close without letting it aboard — this is a yacht you experience outdoors, from the moment you cast off until you step back onto the quay. A skipper runs her, which changes the day entirely: no navigation to think about, no anchoring manoeuvres, no decisions about where the wind will turn. Someone who knows these islands chooses the anchorage, positions the yacht for the afternoon breeze, and leaves you to the part that matters. For charterers who want the Balearics at their own pace, without the commitment of a larger yacht, SQUIRTLE is a precise, well-judged choice.
