Sailfish 25 Sailboats for Sale & Market Overview

The Sailfish 25 is a robust, British-built pocket cruiser that emerged in the late 1970s as a sophisticated alternative to the era’s more common bilge-keelers. Designed by the esteemed Angus Primrose—the architect behind the legendary Westerly Centaur—and manufactured by Maxim Marine Ltd. in Southampton, the Sailfish 25 was intended to bridge the gap between trailerable day-sailers and serious coastal cruisers. It represents a period of maritime engineering focused on maximizing internal volume and versatility for the tidal estuaries of Northern Europe. While it shared a name with its much more prolific smaller sibling, the Sailfish 18, the 25-foot variant was a far more substantial vessel, offering genuine standing headroom and the sea-keeping abilities required for cross-channel passages.
