Introducing SYLVIA II — a rare and beautifully restored 1936 36’ Wooden Pocket Cruiser that captures the romance of a bygone era with the confidence of a modern refit.

Built in 1936, SYLVIA II represents the grace, craftsmanship, and seaworthiness that defined pre-war American yacht building. Lovingly and comprehensively restored in North Carolina, she has been brought back to her original elegance while thoughtfully upgraded for reliability and ease of ownership. The result is a turnkey classic that turns heads in every harbor and draws admiration at every dock.

Her sweeping sheerline, varnished brightwork, and classic proportions embody timeless yachting style. Step aboard and you are transported to an era when yachts were crafted by hand and designed to stir the soul. Below, her warm wood interior offers an inviting retreat — perfect for weekend cruising, cocktail sunsets, or participation in classic yacht gatherings.

SYLVIA II is not just a boat — she is a story. With her own dedicated Facebook page and significant media publicity, she has developed a following that few yachts can claim. She is recognized, photographed, and celebrated — a true ambassador of classic yachting heritage.

Meticulously restored and thoughtfully refit in North Carolina.

Iconic 1936 design with timeless lines

Turnkey condition — ready for immediate enjoyment

Documented history and strong public presence

Whether you are seeking a standout showpiece, a legacy vessel to steward for the next generation, or simply a yacht that evokes pride of ownership every time you step aboard, SYLVIA II delivers in every respect.

Opportunities to acquire a fully restored 1930s wooden cruiser with this level of provenance and visibility are exceptionally rare.

SYLVIA II awaits her next caretaker.
