The Boréal 55 is a modern cruising yacht designed by Jean-François Delvoye and built by Boréal Yachts, with production records indicating builds starting in 2016. As a relatively new entry in the market, specific total hull counts are not yet fully established in the aggregated data, but the vessel represents a contemporary approach to large-displacement cruising.

Best for:

This boat is well-suited for serious coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize comfort and stability, as evidenced by the high frequency of davit installations and watermaker upgrades among owners. The cutter rig and substantial displacement suggest it appeals to those seeking a capable, self-sufficient vessel for extended passages.

Bluewater capability:

With a displacement of 36376.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 1.85, and a comfort ratio of 31.16, the Boréal 55 exhibits strong offshore credentials, further supported by owner investments in watermakers and bow thrusters for extended voyaging.

Comparables:

Comparable vessels include other large, heavy-displacement European cruisers from the same era, such as the Hallberg-Rassy 55 or the Hallberg-Rassy 53, which share similar design philosophies of robust construction and comfortable living spaces. The Boréal 55's cutter rig and high comfort ratio also align it with the Hallberg-Rassy 57 or similar full-keel or long-keel designs focused on seakeeping.
