KALIZMA – Historic Luxury Yacht Charter in the South of France
KALIZMA – Legendary Sailing Yacht Charter with Hollywood Heritage
KALIZMA is not simply a yacht—she is a living legend. As one of the most iconic classic sailing yachts available for charter today, KALIZMA offers a rare opportunity to experience true maritime heritage combined with modern luxury. She is an exceptional choice for clients seeking an authentic and refined luxury yacht charter experience in the Mediterranean.
Her story is inseparable from Hollywood royalty. In 1967, the yacht was chartered by two of cinema’s greatest icons, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. By the end of that voyage, their love for both the yacht and each other had deepened, leading Burton to purchase the vessel and rename her KALIZMA, after their daughters Kate, Liza, and Maria.
KALIZMA became their private sanctuary—far from the media spotlight—and the stage for legendary moments, including the delivery onboard of the famous 69-carat Cartier diamond, later worn by Elizabeth Taylor at Princess Grace’s Scorpio Ball in Monaco. Few yachts in the world can claim such a storied past, making KALIZMA a true icon of glamour, romance, and exclusivity.
Restoration & Modern Comfort
In 2020, KALIZMA underwent a complete restoration, stripped back to her bare hull and rebuilt to the highest modern standards while preserving her historic soul. Interiors were entirely redesigned, exterior woodwork renewed, paintwork refreshed, and extensive engineering upgrades completed with new internal systems throughout. An additional refit of the salon, dining room, and sundeck is scheduled for winter 2024/25, ensuring she continues to meet the expectations of today’s luxury charter clientele.
Mediterranean Charter Experience
KALIZMA is perfectly suited for an elegant Mediterranean yacht charter, cruising some of the most iconic destinations in the region. She is available for unforgettable itineraries along the French Riviera, the Italian Riviera, as well as Malta, Greece, Croatia, and Turkey.
