Join Chris Beeson for a sailing review of the Sirius Yachts 35DS. The first Sirius 35 DS (DS for deck saloon) was delivered by the boutique German yard, Sirius Yachts, in 2010. We tested the just-launched hull #81 seen at the 2025 Southampton International Boat Show, and it’s likely no two are the same. There are seven different keel configurations, two-, four- and six-berth layouts. The midships berth can be an office, the technical room - a genius space designed to make maintenance a doddle - has even been converted to a sauna for one owner. The layout can be what you want it to be.

What makes Sirius Yachts stand out, however, is the attention to detail: this is clearly a yacht designed and built by people who go cruising a lot and come up with solutions when they find something that annoys them. We could make another video and still not cover everything that stands out about this yacht. Fastidiously and robustly built (cored above the waterline and areas over 40mm of solid laminate below), with the storage of a much larger yacht, this brand makes boats that their owners appreciate as second homes. Fifteen years after first testing it, Chris Beeson is still hugely impressed.

Sirius yachts will be exhibiting for the first time at Annapolis Sail Boat Show from 9th-12th October 2025
