History

Tuyga is a classic yacht with a rich and storied history, originally commissioned by the Duke of Medinacelli and designed by the renowned Scottish yacht designer William Fife Jr. Launched in 1909 from the Fairlie Shipyard in Scotland, Tuyga was built as a top-tier racing yacht. The yacht quickly made its mark in the world of competitive sailing, racing successfully with a British crew and securing numerous second-place finishes, often just behind her twin, Hispania, the Spanish royal yacht. Tuyga’s design was a masterpiece of Fife's, reflecting the perfect blend of elegance and speed, a hallmark of his creations. Over the years, Tuyga changed hands several times, undergoing multiple name changes and eventually falling into a state of neglect. However, her enduring legacy and beauty led to a full restoration, which revived her to her former glory. The yacht’s careful restoration preserved its historical significance while ensuring its place in modern sailing. Today, Tuyga belongs to the Yacht Club de Monaco, where she continues to captivate enthusiasts and admirers of classic yachts. With her elegant lines, rich history, and remarkable restoration, Tuyga stands as a testament to both the craftsmanship of William Fife Jr. and the enduring allure of vintage racing yachts.
