The Bestevaer 53 ‘Grey Shark’ is a true go-anywhere explorer yacht. Seaworthy in all waters, she can handle the seven seas, tropical passages, and extreme weather alike. Sustainable and meticulously crafted, Grey Shark features recycled aluminium, bamboo interiors, and a regenerative electric drive, proving that adventure and responsibility can sail together.
With Grey Shark, we celebrate the 10th Bestevaer 53 S/Y, a milestone in the 53ft series inspired by the original Bestevaer designed by Gerard Dijkstra from Dykstra Naval Architects. Built for exploring new horizons, this go-anywhere yacht continues the Bestevaer legacy.
