ABoutSuperyacht Approach at Southerly
It is now one year on since Southerly Yachts, the much-loved British brand of swing keel blue water sailing cruisers, was acquired by Concept Yachts.
Concept Yachts over the last 22 years has become well known in superyacht circles worldwide for supplying its specialist workforce, culminating in the company receiving the Superyacht Contractor of Year Award in 2022. This encompasses all areas from the start to the finish of a superyacht’s build process, from consultancy and project management, to engineering, composite work, metal fabrication on to interior fitout and exterior finishing.

Southerly Yachts Reborn
Construction of Southerly Yachts takes place in our build facility in Marchwood, close to Southampton, where Concept Yachts is using its highly experienced work force to apply its superyacht standards to the creation of it yachts. Southerly Yachts now benefit from increased use of infusion in the lamination process, millimetre accurate fit-out thanks to an in-house milling machine and 3D printer and a more modular approach to interior fit-out.
All models feature Southerly Yachts’ signature swing keel system. At the touch of a button, when the keel is swung it not only allows you the access to the shallowest of anchorages to get away from the crowds, but in tidal areas means they can dry out securely on their own bottoms.
The swing keel can also be trimmed, to improve performance downwind for example when sailing transoceanic with the trade winds.
All models have the signature raised deck saloon. Southerly also offers a multitude of layouts based on the client’s needs. Over the years Southerly have won numerous awards. Internationally the brand is synonymous with quality and bluewater sailing.
