Big, beautiful and so easily self-managed, the new 19-metre Contest 63CS is the absolute must-have 60+footer. And Europe’s top yachting editors agree, awarding this newcomer Luxury European Yacht of the Year 2025! “The definitive luxury cruiser for 2025,” say the judges. “A superyacht level of finish and engineering and attention to detail; intoxicating sailing performance; sublime yet unpretentious lines; not an inch of space that is not put to good use.”
Designed for hassle-free, high performance in the lightest to heaviest weathers, the graceful, well-set, balanced lines are from top naval architects judel/vrolijk & co. Interior styling is by superyacht stars Wetzels Brown, who introduce two identical, half-beam, VIP double guest suites forward of the saloon. Rare at this size, these are even retained when opting for a four- in place of three-cabin configuration
Although in the 'mid-sixties' sector, this yacht is still all about family and friends in control. Working the yacht. Enjoying the entirety of the sailing and the huge space both above and below deck. It’s about smart sailing with simple but sophisticated short-handed sailing systems. The option of carbon or aluminium rigs and the choice of in-boom or in-mast reefing. In-boom for more performance sail shape, full sail to reefed. In-mast for even more speedy, simpler reefing
And for even more ease there's the option of self-tacking jib. This simplicity in operation is core to the Contest short-handed and owner-driven philosophy. And the Contest 63CS is so responsive. Feeling like a big boat yet with the ease of a dinghy. Gliding over the water at nine knots upwind easily, with fingertip steering and so secure
