Law firm Stephenson Harwood LLP has advised a longstanding private client as buyer of the sailing yacht Ribelle.

Ribelle is a luxury custom sailing yacht, which was built by Vitters Shipyard in 2017. It is 32.6 metres in length, and was designed by Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design (exterior) and Rémi Tessier (interior).

"This is a strategically important deal for our client, given Ribelle's highly regarded status in the yacht market – which is further demonstrated by its multiple international yacht award wins," said Neil Noble, partner, Stephenson Harwood. "We advised on all aspects of the transaction, and our involvement is testament to the team's experience advising on international high profile yacht transactions."

The Stephenson Harwood team comprised partner Neil Noble and senior associate Ezio Dal Maso.
