Built in 2002 by Alloy Yachts and designed by Dubois Naval Architects, DRUMBEAT is one of the largest modern sailing yachts ever built. The prerequisite was to achieve good sailing performance with comfort, sea worthiness and space.

A unique design feature of the yacht is the one-level layout from cockpit through the saloon and dining area to the forward wheelhouse. This creates an expansive area for entertaining.

DRUMBEAT underwent a major interior refit in 2007. The interior was redesigned to reflect the simplicity and beauty of the lines of this stunning sailing yacht. The colours, materials and furniture are designed for comfort. Lighting is of the highest standard giving the option of setting the appropriate mood to the saloon and throughout the yacht.
