SORCERER II 95’ Cookson Performance Frers Design World Voyager Yacht for Sale

The 95’ Cookson Custom Frers Design SORCERER II is now for sale with Yacht Brokers Hank Halsted and Elizabeth Swain. The sailing yacht is asking $1,250,000 and will be on display at the 2024 Newport Brokerage Show from September 12 to 15.

Currently lying in Newport, RI, SORCERER II blends high-performance sailing with comfort. Built by the renowned Cookson Boats in 1998, SORCERER II showcases a design by German Frers that’s proven its racing pedigree across the globe. Whether you’re simply cruising or participating in regattas, she is engineered for smooth, manageable handling, even with just a crew of two.

During her ownership by genome scientist Craig Venter, SORCERER II played a key role in the Global Ocean Sampling Expedition, a scientific mission to study marine microbial life in oceans around the world. The journey took her to 23 countries and island groups across four continents. She’s not only a yacht for leisure but also a platform for discovery.

What sets SORCERER II apart is her impressive blend of performance and ease. Her fully hydraulic sail controls, all located at the center cockpit helm station, make sailing a breeze. Every element is designed for functionality, and she’s optimized for racing with input from professional crews. Below deck, you’ll find an exceptional layout that offers comfort and space for up to eight guests in three staterooms, along with fully separated crew accommodations forward.

Step inside, and you’ll be welcomed by a bright, spacious raised salon. The large wraparound windows flood the space with light, creating the perfect environment for relaxation or entertaining. A few steps down, the lower salon offers a cozy spot to watch a movie or catch up on some work, with a library area and office providing ample space for both.

For those who love to cook or entertain, the galley is well-appointed with three refrigerators/freezers, a gimballed stove, and plenty of pantry space. The crew has their own dinette and lounge forward, ensuring that everyone on board has their own space to relax.

Accommodations are designed for comfort during long passages. The full-width master suite aft is a luxurious retreat with a king-size berth and its own private access to the cockpit. The two guest cabins each feature twin berths that convert into queen beds, with additional Pullman berths for flexibility. Each cabin has its own en-suite head with a stall shower, ensuring privacy and convenience.

Her teak side decks, wide and easy to navigate, lead you from the aft cockpit to the foredeck where the tender is stowed. The aft cockpit, complete with comfortable seating and a scuba tank filling station, is perfect for unwinding after a day on the water. And when you’re ready to sail, her sail plan, including a North 3Di mainsail and hydraulic furlers, is easily managed with minimal effort.
