FLYING LADY

FLYING LADY — 17.68m (58ft) Mathis-Trumpy, 1937 Few names carry the weight of Trumpy on the American East Coast, and FLYING LADY has been carrying hers since 1937. Built by Mathis-Trumpy, she belongs to a lineage of commuter yachts that defined a certain idea of coastal life long before the word "superyacht" existed — varnished, low-slung, unmistakable from a mile off. At 17.68 metres, she is a yacht of measured pace rather than performance. She cruises at 8 knots and tops out at 10 — numbers that tell you precisely what she is for. Morning runs along the shoreline, long lunches at anchor, a return under evening light with no reason to hurry. On board, the rhythm follows the water rather than the clock. FLYING LADY accommodates up to 6 guests; your BellaYacht advisor will confirm the exact cabin configuration for your dates. Her season mirrors the classic Atlantic circuit: winters in Palm Beach, summers in the Hamptons. Two destinations where a yacht of this age and provenance is not simply transport but part of the scenery — and where arriving aboard her means something to those who know. Her crew work in the manner these yachts demand: attentive, discreet, and fluent in the particular care a vessel of this vintage requires. That attention is what keeps a 1937 Trumpy not merely afloat, but genuinely alive.
