Classic 46m sailing yacht KALIZMA – once owned by Liz Taylor and Richard Burton – is now available for charter in the Mediterranean

The charm of a bygone era is clear to see throughout classic 45.75m (150′ 1″) luxury yacht KALIZMA who was originally built in 1906 and meticulously restored with a comprehensive refit in 2021. She is now a luxury charter yacht with accommodation for up 10 gests in five stunning staterooms.

Classic yacht KALIZMA

Designed by GL Watson and built by Ramage & Ferguson, motor/sailing yacht KALIZMA – then MINONA – was the first steam powered yacht to have electric lighting, served as an Auxiliary Patrol Yacht in WW1 and as a rescue boat during WW2. But it was as part of the love story between Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor that she was most famous. In 1967 the couple chartered her for a cruise and loved their time on board so much they later bought the yacht and named it after their three daughters (Kate, Liza and Maria). It was on board that Burton is said to have presented Taylor with the 69-carat diamond, known as the Taylor-Burton Diamond.
