Baltic 52 “OBELIX” – Sparkman & Stephens pedigree, Baltic Yachts craftsmanship, Mediterranean-kept excellence
Built by Baltic Yachts Finland and designed by Sparkman & Stephens, OBELIX is a superb example of the renowned Baltic 52 — admired for her combination of strength, performance, and timeless elegance. Delivered in 1990, this two-cockpit version was conceived for both shorthanded cruising and competitive sailing, offering an ideal balance between control and comfort.
Having sailed exclusively in the Mediterranean and never undertaken ocean crossings, OBELIX presents in exceptional condition. Between 2021 and 2024, she has benefitted from extensive upgrades, including a new teak deck, new sails, updated electronics, and numerous mechanical renewals. Meticulously maintained, she is now completely turn-key and ready for her next discerning owner.
