Belliure 66
Description
The Belliure 66 (also referred to as the Belliure 66 SY or Belliure 66 Sailing Yacht) is a luxurious, semi-custom bluewater cruising sailboat built by Belliure Yachts (Belliure S.A.) in Calpe, Alicante, Spain. The yard, founded in 1953 by Vicente Belliure and known for high-quality fiberglass construction (initially wood boats, later advanced composites), shifted to premium sailing yachts in later decades using modern methods. The Belliure 66 was designed by renowned naval architect Ron Holland (famous for boats like the Whitbread maxi NZ Enterprise and many production/performance cruisers). It's part of Belliure's larger sailing yacht series (e.g., alongside the 63, 83, and 86 SY models), emphasizing elegant lines, robust build, spacious interiors, and capable offshore performance for long-distance or luxury cruising. Production was semi-custom/limited—Belliure built these in small numbers (likely single digits to low dozens for the 66 specifically, as they focus on bespoke or low-volume high-end yachts rather than mass production). Examples date primarily from the 1980s–1990s (some related models like a 67 ft variant built ~1985), making them rare classics today.
