Most notable is the extended wheelhouse roof, now covering the entire cockpit to create a sheltered outdoor living area — a configuration not found on a standard 52S. Two sliding roof sections, one above the wheelhouse and one above the cockpit, allow the owners to open up the yacht whenever the weather permits. The 52S Countess features a 3-cabin, 2-bathroom layout and is powered by twin Volvo Penta D6-480 HP engines. Designed for comfortable cruising and extended stays on board, she will spend her first season exploring the Baltic.
The owners reflected on the build process:
“Thank you to the entire team at Steeler for building the most beautiful yacht for us, embracing our ideas and wishes with enthusiasm and meticulous attention to detail. It has been great fun working with the Steeler team on this project, and we are looking forward to the owners’ weekend and cruising the Baltic this summer.”
Project Manager Mees Vergeer added:
“As the first 52S executed with a 3-cabin, 2-bathroom layout, I am proud of how the project came together. It was a pleasure working closely with the owners throughout the entire process. On behalf of the Steeler team, I wish them many safe and enjoyable nautical miles ahead.”
