About Cherubini Yachts

(Directions)

Cherubini Yachts builds special, classic yachts of the highest quality. Our product line includes two beautiful sailboats, a 48 foot schooner, a 44 foot ketch, and gorgeous 20 and 24 foot Cherubini Classic speedboats.

In addition, we provide yacht maintenance, repair, and restoration as well as storage.

Whitehawk, restored, ready for delivery.

The two sailboats have been under production for about thirty years and have a world-wide reputation as the "got-to-have" cruising yacht. These boats are extremely seaworthy, fast, easily handled, and comfortable for family cruising and living. They have classic, timeless lines, that have never gone out of style.

The Cherubini Classic 20 and 24 take us back to the classic elegant speed boats of our grandparents' era. But these boats are more than eye stoppers. They are thoroughly modern, with strong, low-maintenance fiberglass hulls and sub-decks. Likewise, the propulsion systems are contemporary state-of-the-art. They perform brilliantly, with high speed (50+ mph) and superb handling qualities.

The company has been owned and managed by various members of the Cherubini family. Dave Cherubini is the president of the company now; the sailboats were designed by his uncle John Cherubini. The boats are decorated with a little angel -- a baby cherub, in Italian, a Cherubini!

The company is in Delran, New Jersey, on the New Jersey side of the Delaware River, about 12 miles upstream (north-east) of Philadelphia center city. By water, for a sailboat under power (6+ knots), it is about 7 hours up the Delaware River from the end of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. From Cape May, New Jersey, it is about 15 hours.
