The boat
Step aboard Electra, a classic Hallberg-Rassy, built in Sweden and renowned worldwide for their unmatched combination of comfort, strength, and offshore capability. Hallberg-Rassy yachts are prized by sailors for their seaworthiness and Scandinavian craftsmanship—qualities that make Electra as capable today as she was during her famous voyages.
This vessel is more than just a fine example of Swedish yachtbuilding—she is the very same yacht once known as Mahina Tiare II, the Hallberg-Rassy 42 personally owned and operated by renowned sailor and author John Neal. From 1990 to 1996, Neal sailed her more than 70,000 miles as a professional sail-training vessel, leading expeditions across the South Pacific, Patagonia, Antarctica, and rounding Cape Horn six times. After her storied service, Mahina Tiare II was renamed Electra, carrying her legacy forward.
Why Choose Electra?
Hallberg-Rassy Swedish Build – Comfort, craftsmanship, and seaworthiness.
Proven Explorer – Voyaged to Antarctica and beyond under John Neal’s command.
Renowned Pedigree – Formerly Mahina Tiare II, with 70,000 miles of sail-training expeditions.
Safe & Spacious – Perfect for families, friends, or hands-on sailors.
Adventure Meets Comfort – A true bluewater yacht with legendary history.
When you charter Electra, you’re not just booking a boat—you’re stepping aboard a living piece of sailing history, ready for her next adventure.
