Hard numbers first: construction, displacement and seagoing performance
Tayya is a 16.55 m Nauta 54, නිර්මාණය කළේ Scott Kaufman na gbɔŋŋ gbɔ̃ŋ Nauta Yachts in 1990. The yacht lists a displacement of 17.60 t, a draught of 2.80 m and a downwind sail area capability up to 330 m². During a delivery from the Azores she weathered sustained upwind Force 8 conditions with decks repeatedly drenched by breakers; the sprayhood was lost but the hull and structure showed no compromise, and no water ingress was recorded.
Structural philosophy and seagoing evidence
The hull thickness and conservative engineering typical of late 1980s Nauta builds translate into a yacht that soaks up punishment rather than reacting violently. Real-world crossings — from the Mediterranean to the Canaries and the Azores — demonstrated steady average speeds under sail and a seakindly motion that reduces crew fatigue on long watches. Such characteristics matter more at sea than any spec sheet alone.
Deck, rig and sail plan: arranged for offshore handling
The teak deck, renewed in 2013, provides unobstructed circulation and secure footing. Two cockpits deliver sheltered helming and reduced exposure during long offshore passages. A three-spreader aluminium mast (repainted in 2021) distributes rig loads well and allows flexible sail plans: genoa rigging or cutter configuration with yankee and staysail are both practical for varying conditions.
Key deck and rig features
- Teak deck refurbished 2013 for safe movement
- Two protected cockpits for watchkeeping
- Three-spreader aluminium mast, large downwind area capacity
- Racing-style but cruiser-oriented sail plan options
Interior layout and electronics for long passages
Internally Tayya offers four cabins for eight people, a teak-finished saloon that seats six to eight without feeling cramped, and a long, sea-friendly galley. Leather upholstery and mattresses were renewed in 2021. Navigation and electronics were modernized: updated B&G and Raymarine equipment, dual plotters (helm and crew), and VHF AIS installed in 2022 create redundancy and situational awareness onboard.
Systems, range and recent mechanical updates
Targeted refit work since arrival in Douarnenez includes installation or renewal of a Vetus electric bow thruster, renewed windlass motor and a Webasto heating system in 2022. Power comes from a 90 hp Volvo engine fed by a 600 L fuel capacity, giving an estimated motoring range of 500–600 nautical miles. Freshwater capacity totals 420 L, with a 70 L water heater included.

Ownership history, refit cycle and current status
Originally employed as a sail training vessel, Tayya later passed to a Sardinian owner before being acquired by two friends in 2020 and repatriated to Douarnenez after the COVID lull. These new owners expanded her program to Atlantic passages — Canaries and Azores — where her seagoing traits were confirmed. Today the yacht is moored in Douarnenez and offered in perfect condition, available for a new crew after the current owner, Stephane, must reluctantly part with her for health reasons.
Useful checklist for prospective buyers or charterers
- Verify structural records and survey history (hull thickness, keel bolts).
- Confirm recent refit invoices for Vetus, Webasto and windlass upgrades.
- Check electronics warranty and plotter configurations.
- Assess interior comfort vs. intended use: training, offshore cruising, or charter.
Yacht potential for tourism and charter operators
For small-scale charter operations, adventure cruising or private yacht parties, Tayya’s combination of seaworthiness and accommodation suits extended voyages rather than short marina hops. She fits well into cruise packages that emphasize ocean crossings, island-hopping itineraries and eco-friendly wildlife safaris where stable seakeeping is a priority. Operators planning museum tours with live guides ashore or exclusive yacht charters for events will value the vessel’s robust systems and space for guests.
At a glance, Tayya blends classic Nauta elegance with practical offshore upgrades — an attractive profile for sailors seeking luxury adventure travel experiences without compromising safety.
