Lift the keel.
Hand-crafted variable-draft cruisers — deep-draft performance offshore, shallow-draft freedom inshore. More than 1,100 owners worldwide.
Southerly Yachts
Step aboard a Southerly and the finer details are evident — hand-crafted joinery, an ergonomic galley with generous work surfaces and storage, and a spacious owner's cabin. The raised saloon maximises light and visibility through large eye-level windows.
At the heart of every Southerly is the Variable Draft Keel. The swing-keel system opens up a world of possibilities denied to most yachts: raise the keel in shallow water to avoid grounding, enter locked marinas, or cross shallow harbour entrances.
More than 1,100 Southerly owners worldwide can attest to the remarkable versatility of the Variable Draft Keel system.
