Belliure 86
Description
The Belliure 86 (also known as the Belliure 86 SY or simply referenced in the ~85–86 ft range) is a rare, luxurious bluewater sailing superyacht built by Belliure Yachts (Astilleros Belliure) in Calpe, Alicante, Spain. The most prominent example is the yacht Orion (ex. Sapphire), launched in 1986 and designed by renowned naval architect Ron Holland (known for performance-oriented cruisers and maxis like those in the Whitbread/Volvo Ocean Race era). Belliure, a family-run yard founded in 1953 with expertise in high-quality fiberglass/composite construction, produced these in very limited, semi-custom quantities—likely just a handful (or single examples) in this size, as they specialized in bespoke luxury yachts rather than series production. This makes the Belliure 86 an extremely rare classic superyacht today.
