Vivere

BEST OF THE BEST UNDER 60’

VIVERE is a 2011 Southerly 57RS Raised Saloon cutter designed by Ed Dubois and built by Northshore Yachts in the United Kingdom. As the flagship of the Southerly variable-draft range, the 57RS was created to bring together true ocean-crossing ability, shallow-water freedom, elegant raised-saloon living, and shorthanded sailing systems in a yacht under 60 feet.

The design brief is immediately clear: VIVERE was built for owners who want to sail far, live aboard comfortably, and reach anchorages that most yachts of this size cannot access. With her hydraulic swing keel, she draws approximately 4’ with the keel raised and 10’9” with the keel fully deployed, giving her both shoal-draft freedom and powerful windward ability. Twin rudders, a long waterline, fine entry, beam carried well aft, and a substantial grounding plate create a yacht that is stable offshore, easy to manage, and unusually versatile for her length.

On deck, VIVERE offers a large, secure aft sailing cockpit, twin carbon wheels, redundant helm electronics, push-button sail handling, bow and stern thrusters, a hydraulic transom door, and a Williams jet tender housed in the garage. Below, the Raised Saloon is bright and commanding, with Dubois’ signature teardrop windows, Crown Cut teak joinery, leather and stainless accents, and a Rhoades Young interior that feels more like a small superyacht than a conventional production cruiser.

VIVERE is also thoughtfully updated, with a 150 HP Yanmar 4LV150 diesel, lithium house bank, 800 W solar array, watermaker, updated B&G electronics, Starlink, recent drivetrain improvements, and a new Code Zero. She is a rare offering for a buyer who wants serious bluewater capability, luxury liveaboard comfort, and the freedom to cruise shallow waters without sacrificing sailing performance.
