Launched in 2002, the 53m (174ft) sailing yacht Drumbeat (ex Salperton) is a spectacular, high-performance ketch, built by the prestigious NZ shipyard Alloy Yachts and designed by renowned UK-based studio Dubois Naval Architects. With the last refit in 2009, the luxury charter yacht Drumbeat provides her charter guests with amazing sailing comfort, sea worthiness and space. The Drumbeat sailing yacht can be seen in the photos below, sent in by Martin C. Michiels, one of our readers who captured the impressive yacht in Juneau, Alaska. Whales were breaching and bubble feeding all around the charter yacht.
