Description
If you’ve been searching for a truly capable and beautifully built cruising yacht, look no further than Barfly, a 1993 Najad 390 currently lying in Grenada, the perfect jumping off point for Caribbean adventures or long-distance bluewater sailing. Built in Sweden by the renowned Najad yard, Barfly is a prime example of the craftsmanship and seaworthiness that have made Najad one of the most respected names in offshore cruising. Known for building yachts that are not only elegant but incredibly solid and dependable, Najads are trusted by sailors around the world for their ability to handle the open ocean with grace and confidence.
The Najad 390 is a true passage maker. With her center cockpit layout, skeg-hung rudder, and long fin keel, Barfly offers exceptional stability, control, and comfort under sail. Her moderate displacement means she moves smoothly through the water, offering a reassuring and sea-kindly motion, especially important on longer passages. Whether you're heading upwind into a stiff trade wind or ghosting along on a downwind run, this yacht is built to get you there, safely and comfortably.
On deck, Barfly features wide side decks, robust stainless hardware, and classic teak surfaces that still show the quality of her original build. The center cockpit is deep and secure, offering excellent visibility and protection, making her ideal for offshore conditions or long stays at anchor. The layout is practical, safe, and thoughtfully designed for a couple or small crew handling her short-handed. Below deck, the story continues. Stepping into Barfly’s interior, you’re welcomed by warm mahogany joinery, a spacious layout, and an unmistakable sense of quality. The main saloon is cozy yet open, with a solid drop-leaf table and generous seating, perfect for hosting guests or relaxing after a day on the water. The galley is efficient and seagoing, with ample storage and workspace. Opposite is a nav station, just as you’d expect on a true offshore yacht. Accommodation is generous, with a forward guest cabin and a large, private owner’s cabin aft with a comfortable double berth and plenty of storage. Barfly has been well cared for, and while she could certainly benefit from some maintenance, cosmetic attention, and an upgrade or two, she’s a sound, capable platform ready for new adventures.
Whether you dream of sailing up the island chain, crossing oceans, or simply living aboard in comfort and style, Barfly is a yacht that can take you there, and make the journey in comfort. With her pedigree, quality construction, and proven offshore capabilities, this is a rare opportunity to own a classic Najad at a very approachable price point. Come see Barfly for yourself. She's more than a boat, she’s a trusted companion, ready for her next chapter.
