Contest 72CS For Sale

The Contest 72CS is a remarkable 22-metre bluewater yacht that brings superyacht standards of engineering, silence and refinement into a highly capable family cruising platform. Conceived for an experienced owner seeking uncompromising technical quality in a manageable size, the 72CS delivers exceptional volume, performance and semi-custom flexibility within a beautifully balanced 70-footer.

With an overall length of 21.80 metres (23.08m including bowsprit) and a powerful 5.70-metre beam, the 72CS combines striking exterior presence with impressive interior space. The low, sedan-style coachroof with dark, wraparound glazing integrates seamlessly into her elegantly sheered hull lines, creating a profile that is both dynamic and timeless. Softly curved mouldings complement the yacht’s performance-oriented stance, ensuring she is equally at home on long-distance ocean passages or competitive regatta courses.

A defining priority in the 72CS design is silent running. Extensive acoustic engineering reduces noise and vibration throughout the yacht, from machinery installations to deck hardware. The result is an atmosphere of calm sophistication, whether underway or at anchor, a hallmark rarely achieved in yachts of this size.

On deck, the signature dual cockpit arrangement separates sail handling from guest comfort. Twin helm stations offer precise, fingertip control, while the forward guest cockpit remains free of working lines for relaxed dining and entertaining. Fold-out cockpit tables, refined upholstery, concealed sun protection systems and integrated lighting reflect a superyacht-inspired inventory without compromising sailing efficiency. Below the cockpit, a spacious tender garage further enhances long-range autonomy.

The interior offers extensive configuration options, from two to five cabins, including optional crew quarters and highly flexible galley arrangements. True to Contest’s Dutch heritage, detailing is meticulous, systems are intelligently integrated, and access for service is thoughtfully engineered.

The Contest 72CS stands as a flagship expression of performance, craftsmanship and comfort, a yacht designed to take owners anywhere in complete confidence and refined luxury.
