The 71.5-metre classic superyacht Argosy has arrived at Feadship's facility in Aalsmeer, the Netherlands for a comprehensive, three-year rebuild. Redelivery is scheduled for September 2028.
Delivered in 1931 by German yard Krupp Germaniawerft, Argosy has sailed under a littany of owners and names. Significant footnotes in her 94-year history include a stint under Sir Thomas Sopwith, functioning as an escort ship for his J-Class sailing yacht Endeavour, a period of service in the US Navy during World War II and her time as Santa Maria del Mare, a passenger vessel operating in Italy. Argosy then faded from the public eye and fell into disrepair.
Her classic design is by New York studio Cox & Stevens, with Italian designer Luca Dini briefly assigned responsibility for the interior and restoration work, before the project was abandoned and Argosy auctioned in 2021.
The yacht was sold to her current owner by Anton Foord at Ocean Independence, with the brokerage firm also responsible for the rebuild's technical supervision. Argosy is known to have five en suite cabins, complemented by quarters for 17 crew, stores and a galley, though the full extent of works are yet to be disclosed.
