PALMER JOHNSON
Built by Palmer Johnson in 1992 and comprehensively refitted in 2025, the 35.75m KNICKERBOCKER is an exceptional classic cruising ketch that brings together the distinguished expertise of Sparkman & Stephens, Palmer Johnson and John Munford. With graceful lines, proven ocean-going capability and timeless American yacht design, she represents a rare opportunity to acquire a pedigree sailing yacht of genuine character and distinction.
Under careful and experienced ownership, KNICKERBOCKER has been consistently maintained, upgraded and operated to a high standard. Her extensive cruising history across New England, the United States and the Caribbean demonstrates both her reliability and versatility, while her current presentation reflects a yacht that has been thoughtfully preserved and prepared for her next owner.
Guest accommodation is arranged for up to six guests in three beautifully appointed cabins, offering a refined and comfortable onboard experience. The Master cabin is finished in American cherry with teak and holly soles and features an adjustable king-size berth, generous storage, direct aft-deck access and an elegant ensuite bathroom appointed in Corian and marble.
