Devil's Gauntlet

Custom craftsmanship from 1977 created Devil's Gauntlet with an extraordinary beach club that transforms the stern into a waterfront resort. The expansive platform extends beyond the transom, creating a private dock where guests can lounge at water level, dive directly into crystal waters, or launch watersports adventures without climbing aboard tender boats. Hydraulic systems lower sections of the stern bulwark, opening the yacht's interior to ocean breezes and creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow. This 24.38-meter motor-sailer balances traditional sailing heritage with motor yacht convenience, her dual propulsion allowing for silent sailing through protected anchorages or swift passages under power. The beach club serves as the yacht's social epicenter, where morning coffee transitions to afternoon cocktails without leaving the water's edge. Integrated swim ladder and boarding steps make ocean access effortless, while built-in seating and storage keep the area organized yet relaxed. Above the beach club, generous deck spaces flow naturally from stern to bow, each level offering distinct perspectives of surrounding seascape. The motor-sailer configuration provides impressive interior volume for a yacht of this length, with salon windows that capture natural light throughout the day. Her vintage proves that exceptional yachts transcend decades, delivering authentic character that newer vessels often struggle to replicate. Devil's Gauntlet appeals to those who appreciate boats with stories, where custom details reflect individual vision rather than production constraints. The beach club remains her defining feature, turning every anchorage into a private beach house where water becomes an extension of living space.
