Spirit Yachts Spirit 46 2010

BAMBOOZLE is the actual Spirit 46 yacht that appeared in the Bond movie ‘No Time to Die’ (2021) in which Daniel Craig is seen sailing BAMBOOZLE in blue Caribbean waters… It perhaps says enough about this design that the movie maker felt 007 would chose a yacht that is not only incredibly elegant, but also functional and ‘almost’ understated… It might be argued that the Spirit 46 helped start the whole modern classic scene rolling and is probably Spirit Yachts' most successful design to date. BAMBOOZLE is offered in impressive condition and ready for the 2026 season.

SPIRIT YACHTS SPIRIT 46 BUILD NO. 10

If, at your peril, you discount Bond, James Bond's 'ownership' as HAPPENSTANCE in 'No Time to Die', BAMBOOZLE is a one owner boat that has enjoyed the life of Riley in the Caribbean and in the Hamptons since delivery from Ipswich, England in 2010. Like all Spirit 46s, she is in some respects customised to client wishes, including a teak laid coachroof top, but with exactly the same weight and sailing characteristics as her sisters. Nowadays BAMBOOZLE sails outer Long Island Sound by summer and overwinters in a heated boat hall - never shaken, or even stirred.
