Twin-cockpit design: practical and comfortable
Our deck saloon yachts feature a twin-cockpit design – with two distinct spaces: the aft cockpit for the helmsman and the forward cockpit for the crew.

The forward cockpit area is a relaxing, sheltered, comfortable and rope-free space. Without lines, clutches, and winches to entice little fingers, it's a great space for children, less-experienced crew, or just those wanting to unwind and do nothing.

The rear cockpit is for the helm, it’s where the action happens; the on-deck control centre, with the wheel, instruments, and where all the lines are led to. We believe it should be easy for our yachts to be sailed single-handed. Our deck saloon yachts appeal to couples, so when your partner is off watch and you're on the helm alone, you can trim and reef all the sails without needing to leave the wheel. It makes it straightforward to steer and adjust lines day or night without losing control of the boat.

Sleek hulls for better speed and comfort, and more enjoyable sailing
While some builders optimise their yachts by reducing the weight of the interior, creating a sparse living space that lacks quality materials or comfort, our Performance Cruisers are designed from the outset to provide hand-crafted luxury and sail fast. There is a modern trend for broad hulls that offer lots of living space in harbour; these sail best off the wind. Our hulls, however, are narrow and sleek, and are designed foremost to behave predictably and fast at all angles of sail. The sleek hulls are more streamlined, create less drag, cut through the water more efficiently, and make our Performance Cruisers more enjoyable to sail.

The buoyancy and underwater shape provided by our hull design are also more similar fore and aft. Unlike modern designs with excessive aft buoyancy, our yachts don’t bounce and see-saw over waves; they provide a predictable motion that carries them steadfastly on through a chop, minimising movement and maximising comfort. Because our hulls don’t rely on form stability the same way modern designs do, Faurbys also stubbornly refuse to be flustered by gusts.

Full-beam owner’s cabins have long been popular with owners of centre-cockpit yachts – especially those who cruise long-term and live on board. However, rather than the high cockpit and low saloon of a centre-cockpit yacht, we have raised the saloon and designed a lower, more comfortable aft cockpit, while retaining the beloved (and fabulous) full-beam owner’s suites.

Our hand-crafted, tailor-made cabins are the most spacious available on deck saloon yachts of similar sizes. On all but our 360DS, the owner’s suite is aft – where the hull volume offers a low wide berth, a private en suite heads, and the maximum space that can be completely customised to your requirements. On our 360DS, the owner’s suite is forward – and we’ve seen owners of our other models devote this space to themselves too.

We can completely customise the layouts of our yachts for you, based on who you sail with and the sailing you do.

As no two people are the same, neither are two Faurby yachts; every yacht is as individual as you are.

By the time a Faurby teak deck is finished, it is around 8mm (1/3 in) thick solid teak, so you’re left with a durable and beautiful teak deck that will last you many years.

Because no screws are used on the finished deck and the caulking is the full thickness of the planking, it provides many, many years of service and can be sanded to almost its full thickness before it needs replacing.

We’re often asked how long teak decks last, and it’s down to the owners and how the decks are looked after. Some owners like the weathered silver look of teak; others will sand and clean it and keep it looking fresh. At the end of the day, it’s your boat and your choice.

After 6-8 years, you may choose to sand 1/2 mm off the teak and caulking to give you the feel of a brand-new teak deck.

Congratulations to the owners of Elfe (Faurby 335E) and Heureka (Faurby 370) for winning first and second place in their class of the Grömitzer DoubleHand this weekend.

The 7-hour race took place in Lübeck Bay, Germany, and, as its name suggests, is a double-handed race that uses the Yardstick handicap system, with credit given to yachts that choose not to fly spinnakers.

The race consisted of three YS =100, and the two Faurby yachts also came 5th and 6th overall, with 25 minutes separating 1-6th place.

At Faurby, there is no standard boat; everything is up to you. Whether you’d like locker doors with thick or thin frames, raised frames or flush frames, finger holes or latches, then what type of latches would you like? At first, it might sound daunting to have so many choices, but many owners relish the unique building experience at Faurby and keep coming back to us.

We are here to help you enjoy the decision-making process and walk you through it at your pace, helping you make the right decision for your boat.

For over 50 years, we've helped customers choose what is right for them, and we’d like to help you, too.

Do you need a chart table?

Chart tables are often a major discussion point with our owners. At Faurby, you choose the size, style, orientation, and location of your navigation station – and you also decide whether you want one at all.

With electronic navigation available at the helm and anywhere on board via tablet or laptop, plus a large, flat saloon table, we often ask whether a dedicated chart table is really necessary. While that might sound like heresy to some, everyone has their own way of navigating, and as long as you get where you’re going, we’re happy to create a navigation station that works for you.

If you have a fine collection of full-size charts, you may want a chart table large enough to examine a folded Admiralty chart. If you’re where chart folios are smaller, your table can be more compact. You may want a wide table to accommodate charts and pilot books, or a narrower table for using a laptop. You might prefer your nav station to be incorporated into a separate office space where you can work and reply to emails uninterrupted, or you may be perfectly happy doing all this at the saloon table.

We have built all kinds of chart tables – from concealed switch panels, simple standing stations for checking charts while sailing, to fully dedicated navigation areas with integrated computer systems.

When you choose Faurby, anything is possible.

We're at the Ancora Yachtfestival
Germany's largest on-water boat show.

On display, we have two deck saloon yachts, both of which offer all lines led to the helm, a raised saloon, and 360-degree views from the saloon or the cockpit. Our smallest, the Faurby 360 DS, with a displacement of just 6,500kg (14,330lbs), is a delight to sail and doesn't compromise on comfort. We also have her larger sister, the Faurby 420 DS. The 420 DS provides owners with a full-beam en suite aft cabin, as well as a spacious forward double, separate heads, an upper and lower saloon, and a generously sized galley, too.

If you're drawn more to performance than 360-degree views, you're in luck; we have a Faurby 420 Performance Cruiser here. Like all Faurby yachts, the interior layout, style and proportions can be tailored to you. Need longer berths, a larger heads, or a more generous galley? We can do all this and more.
