THANDEKA

THANDEKA is the last yacht Camper & Nicholsons built at their Gosport yard, launched in 1999 as Our Blue Dream for an owner who commissioned her to sail around the world. Dubois Naval Architects drew the lines for a 37-metre deck saloon sloop in aluminium, and a comprehensive 2026 refit has brought her electronics, rigging, and interior finishes to current standards.

The deck saloon is what makes the design. Wraparound glazing gives close to 300 degrees of unobstructed sea views, with two leather sofas flanking oval tables in a space that feels more conservatory than yacht interior. Below, the master cabin has an unusual round king bed and a full en-suite. A VIP with a queen bed, and two twin cabins complete the layout for eight guests across four en-suite cabins. Seven crew handle sailing and service.

THANDEKA carries dive equipment and an onboard compressor, which means cold-water diving in Norway, Scotland, or Iceland without relying on shore operators. A Novurania 4.8m tender with 80HP outboard, a Yamaha FXO WaveRunner, paddleboard, towable tube, and snorkelling gear round out the toys.

A single Caterpillar 3408TA at 578HP provides auxiliary power at 10 knots cruising, 13 top, with a 2,800-nautical-mile range for longer offshore passages. She is currently cruising Northern Europe, set up for the Norwegian fjords, the Scottish Hebrides, Iceland, and the Baltic.
