If you have to work for a living, working from your boat is a better place than most. On a Sirius you can sit in the deck saloon or at the chart table with 360-degree views that are better than your desk, be that at home or office.

The ideal cockpit for a cruising yacht
Safety and comfort are at the heart of everything we do here at Sirius Yachts. When it comes to the cockpit of our sailboats, they have to be safe and comfortable but they also have to be practical too.
Aft cockpit or centre cockpit – which is best for cruising?
When buying a sailing boat, the cockpit is one of the most important considerations because that’s where you are going to spend so much of your time on board, and your choice of cockpit affects not just the deck layout but the interior layout, too.
Why we don’t use or need dealers or agents
Over the last 50 years, we have sold our yachts to people in more than 28 different countries and one of the most frequently asked questions is ‘Why don’t you have local agents or dealers?’. We understand that not having dealers and only exhibiting at a selected number of international boat shows each year makes it more difficult for you to see our yachts. But hopefully, after reading this you’ll understand our reasons, and why, in the long term, you’ll benefit the most.
Choosing the best layout for your cruising yacht
At Sirius, we pride ourselves on being able to give you the semi-custom boat you want; built and designed for you, how you intend to use the yacht, and where you plan to sail her.
Which headsail rig is best for cruising?
The headsail is usually the most important item in a yacht’s sail wardrobe. Not only does it typically provide the lion’s share of the power, it’s generally the first sail that the moving air comes in contact with. It has a cleaner airflow than the mainsail (no mast to cause turbulence at the leading edge) which enables the sailboat to point a bit higher, and it increases the speed of the air passing over the main. The ease of tacking and reefing are key considerations when choosing and sizing a headsail, and so is durability, especially on a cruising yacht where it’s usually left exposed for the whole sailing season. Headsails don’t have an easy life!
