1983 Storebro Royal Cruiser 31 Biscay

Fotograf

Fotograf is a rare opportunity to own a genuine Swedish built Storebro Royal Cruiser 31 Biscay, a design known for its exceptional construction quality and offshore capable pedigree. Designed by Winfried H. Wilke and built in molded FRP with a grid stiffened interior structure, this twin diesel cruiser has been owned and maintained by a hands on owner with comprehensive knowledge of every system aboard, and it shows. A recent survey classified the vessel in excellent condition throughout, both cosmetically and mechanically, with minimal engine hours for its age.

The layout offers a raised trunk deck with panoramic windows over the forward galley and dinette, a teak staircase leading up to a sheltered upper helm deck, and a full width aft cockpit enclosed in tempered glass and canvas for comfortable three season use. Below, the interior is finished in custom teak millwork rarely found outside true European built yachts of this era, with a forward V berth, a convertible dinette berth, and a second convertible double at the helm deck settee, sleeping up to six.

Power comes from twin Volvo Penta TAMD40A diesels, freshwater cooled and turbocharged, showing almost identical hours on each side and inspected in excellent condition with clean, dry bilges and engine spaces. The vessel is well found throughout, from her Espar diesel furnace and full curtain package to her Weaver davit mounted tender and thoughtfully organized ground tackle and mooring gear.

This is a boat for someone who values craftsmanship, mechanical integrity, and a genuinely different ownership experience than the typical production cruiser. A full copy of the recent marine survey is available upon request.
