Lauren L Yacht | 90' Classic 1989

FOR SALE – 90’ Custom Sailing Yacht “Lauren L”

Designed by Ron Holland | Built by Gibbs Marine Research

Special Rent-to-Own Opportunity — Low Investment, High Upside

This is a unique rent-to-own arrangement, an exceptional chance to take command of a 90-foot custom sailing yacht with minimal upfront cost and strong long-term equity potential.

Lauren L currently has just over a year remaining on a charter-to-own agreement. The current charter holder is offering to transfer the agreement, allowing the next operator to step in, assume full control and operational use of the vessel, and ultimately acquire ownership at the end of the term.

This structure provides the rare ability to enjoy and operate a world-class yacht at a fraction of the typical initial investment while building ownership over time.

The incoming charter participant will be responsible for maintaining insurance coverage and standard upkeep during the charter term; ensuring continued protection of the vessel and investment.

Overview

A rare opportunity to command a true custom 90-foot sailing yacht designed by world-renowned naval architect Ron Holland and built in collaboration with Gibbs Marine Research.
Constructed over five years, Lauren L exemplifies world-class craftsmanship, performance, and elegance.

While she has been sitting for some time and would benefit from light recommissioning and cosmetic attention, her structure and systems remain sound and have not significantly deteriorated since her last professional survey, which valued the vessel at $1.15 million USD!

Her current asking price represents an exceptional value position for a yacht of her pedigree and scale; leaving flexibility for the next owner to invest in personalization, modernization, or charter preparation while maintaining strong upside potential.

For a discerning buyer, Lauren L offers the perfect blend of pedigree, size, and opportunity; ideal for a luxury charter operation, comfortable liveaboard, or private world-cruising yacht.

Endless Possibilities

With her impressive volume, layout, and design pedigree, Lauren L offers endless paths for creative ownership and income generation:

Floating Bar / Restaurant – Waterfront dining or event venue with unparalleled ambiance.
Nomads Retreat – A mobile base for digital-nomad residencies or wellness retreats.
Expedition Sailing School – A distinctive training or eco-adventure platform.
Custom or Luxury Day Charters – Sunset and dinner cruises, weddings, corporate outings, or themed “games-at-sea.”
Experience Charters – Wine-tasting sails, live-music evenings, snorkeling or island-hopping adventures.
Term Charters – Boutique-style multi-day Caribbean voyages.
Private Liveaboard – Transform her into a spacious residence afloat with ocean-view comfort.
