INTRODUCTION

See The World is a one-of-a-kind, Swedish-built 49’ custom cruising yacht designed for serious offshore sailing and liveaboard comfort. Hand-built by the renowned craftsman Leif, using a Wasa hull design known for its strength and durability, this yacht was launched in 2003 and has seen only seasonal sailing in Scandinavia until 2024. Since then, she has been carefully upgraded for long-distance voyages and has just completed an Atlantic crossing and extended Caribbean cruise. With her spacious four-cabin layout, robust systems, and recent upgrades, she is turnkey and ready to take on any ocean.
