Virgo is a 16-meter custom wooden motor-sailing yacht from 2005, with a refit reported in 2017. The boat’s appeal is its traditional look and handcrafted character rather than a modern production-yacht profile. For charter buyers, that makes it more distinctive than most vessels in this size range.
On the water, Virgo should be judged as a motor-sailing yacht built for relaxed cruising rather than outright performance. The available public listings confirm powered propulsion and sailing-yacht classification, but they do not provide enough consistent technical detail to support precise claims about top speed or sailing performance. Handling is therefore best described as suited to leisurely coastal passage-making and sheltered-water cruising.
Accommodation is a clear strength: three cabins, three bathrooms, air conditioning, and Wi‑Fi make the yacht practical for up to eight guests. That guest-to-space balance is solid for a 52-foot charter boat, especially for families or small groups who value privacy and onboard comfort.
In value terms, Virgo looks competitive for buyers or charter guests who prioritize atmosphere, classic style, and a full charter-ready layout over high performance or low-maintenance ownership. The main trade-off is the normal upkeep associated with a custom wooden yacht, which can be higher and less predictable than on composite production boats.
