CALLISTI is an exceptional custom-built offshore cruising yacht designed and constructed by Waterline Yachts. Purpose-built for serious bluewater passagemaking, she combines uncompromising strength, refined craftsmanship, and thoughtful systems integration in a package that is equally capable crossing oceans or serving as a luxurious liveaboard home.
Designed by renowned naval architect Ed Rutherford, the Waterline 50 is the re-imagination of the highly regarded Waterline 46 platform. Her widened stern sections, expansive wraparound deck salon windows, and highly functional deck layout create a yacht that is both elegant and immensely practical offshore. Every detail aboard CALLISTI reflects careful design intent - from her impact-resistant steel construction and fully integrated systems to her remarkably bright and comfortable interior spaces.
CALLISTI presents in truly outstanding condition inside and out. She is exceptionally well equipped, extensively upgraded, and fully prepared for immediate long-range cruising.
