Cruising with the extra-large
No other series yacht from the Swedish boatbuilding mecca epitomises the desire for long sea voyages like the Hallberg-Rassy 64

Big, bigger, HR 64: with a hull length of almost 20 metres and a displacement of 36 tonnes, it not only makes full use of the shipyard's capacity, it also sets new standards - both in terms of comfort and equipment as well as design. Never before has a Rassy been so elegant. The dimensions of the technology alone are impressive: shrouds as thick as a thumb, a huge main boom with hydraulic sheet operation, hawser-like genoa sheets or the command centre on the steering column, which is covered in buttons.

However, everything together creates a harmonious picture. Of course, the flagship also has every conceivable amenity below deck: individually air-conditioned compartments, a galley with four freezers and fridges, washing machine and dishwasher as well as an electric cooker and microwave, to name just a few details. All concealed in an interior design with an elegant and clear Scandinavian ambience.
