Description

Malo 34 "Golden Touch IV"
A beautifully maintained Swedish cruising yacht with a brand-new engine, exceptional pedigree and a lifetime of family adventures.

There are yachts that simply get you from A to B, and then there are yachts that become part of the family. Golden Touch IV is very much the latter.

Our much-loved Malo 34 has safely carried us and our three children on countless adventures, creating memories that will stay with us forever. She has looked after us in all weathers with the reassuring quality, comfort and seaworthiness for which Malo yachts are renowned. The only reason we are selling her is that our family has outgrown her, and we're moving up to a Malo 40.

Built in 1989, Golden Touch IV is everything you would expect from a Malo—beautifully crafted, elegant inside and out, with timeless Scandinavian styling, outstanding build quality and impressive sailing performance. She is equally happy cruising comfortably with family and friends or stretching her legs when the wind fills in. Her deep, well-protected cockpit is one of her greatest strengths, providing a wonderfully secure, dry and comfortable place to sail, whatever the weather.

She has been meticulously maintained throughout our ownership and is presented ready for her next adventure.

Why We Love Her...

Golden Touch IV has been far more than just a yacht to us. She has raised our children, taught them to sail, carried us on unforgettable family holidays and always brought us home safely. There is something very special about a Malo—the confidence she inspires at sea, the warmth of her interior, the security of her cockpit and the unmistakable feeling of quality wherever you look.

She is a classy lady: elegant, stylish, immensely capable and, when the conditions are right, surprisingly quick. We hope her next owners will enjoy her every bit as much as we have.

Golden Touch IV is currently afloat at Buckler's Hard, Beaulieu, where we would be delighted to welcome prospective purchasers aboard and show them everything she has to offer.

Engine(s)

Engine & Mechanical:-

One of Golden Touch IV's greatest selling points is her brand-new Beta Marine 35hp engine, professionally installed in Summer 2023. With only around 60 hours from new, she offers the peace of mind of many years of reliable cruising ahead.

At the same time, the following were also replaced:
Beta Marine 35hp engine (2023)

This represents a significant investment that a new owner will not need to make for many years.
