Boat Description

Designed by Fred Shepherd, Built by White Brothers; one of the best shipyards of the time; and launched in 1909. Owl is very much a classic yacht from Edwardian times. The many successive owners in her long life have done well to maintain her origins, especially on deck. Her ketch rig enables her to be sailed effectively with a small crew. She is moreover a sea kindly vessel that has crossed the Atlantic; very balanced and comfortable. While substantially authentic she is however no mere museum piece but a living being which can now be enjoyed by renting her in Port d’Andratx, Mallorca.

Frederick Shepherd (1869–1969) was an English boat designer. He designed 84 yachts over his 45-year career, and usually supervised the construction of each yacht. John Leather refers to Fred Shepherd as ‘….the doyen of British yacht designers and a man still remembered for the ability and beauty of his cruising yachts’. This may account for the relatively small number of designs over a long career of designing yachts. Unusually amongst yacht designers of the time, his principal focus was cruising yachts rather than racing yachts. His focus on cruising rather than racing meant that he became known for yachts which had attractive lines and better space down below than their racing equivalents.

Embark on a breathtaking trip to some of the most beautiful calas of Mallorca. The boat is based in the west of the island, in the idyllic Port Andratx which is a short sail from one of the island’s most beautiful nature reserves, Dragonera.

From Andratx, set sail in the pristine waters towards Dragonera island passing and anchoring in secluded bays with pristine waters for swimming and relaxing. On the full day trip there is the option to travel north of the island past the famous UNESCO world heritage of the Serra de Tramuntana.

We contacted Sailero to organize a different day sailing along the Mallorcan coast, and it was all luxury. Both the previous rental process, in which they helped and advised us at all times in the best way, such as the tour itself, was an... incredible experience. Very very grateful, without any doubt we will meet again.read more

A great way to rent a boat in the Balearic Islands. I rented a sailboat for 1 week, everything perfect, the boat, the reservation system, we had no problem. We'll repeat for sure.

It was such a great experience to hire a 44ft yacht through Sailero. We come every year to Balearics in summer and we have tested a bunch of companies to rent boats but never founded one that fits better with what we need. They helped us... in the selection process what was great, because made us score what sometimes is not easy to do. For sure we will repeat!read more

We had to organize a birthday, and Sailero was by far the best option to chose a charter in Mallorca. They helped us finding a boat that adapted to our needs, and the service provided by the operator was beyond excellent. Overall, a... perfect experience.read more
