SANTANA EST. 1935

Romantic, classic, sophisticated, a Hollywood star, Santana exudes a uniqueness that will continue to shine for years to come...

For some sailors the opportunity to restore a sailboat, even one that had sunk, would be thought of as a "rookie move". Why then would long-time sailors Paul and Christine Kaplan, people who have been boaters their entire life, take on such a project?

To them the answer was simple; for the love of sailing and the unique nature of a wooden boat. The boat also happened to be named, "Santana".


The restoration of "Santana" is now complete. She is sailing today with the grace and beauty her designer envisioned, as a schooner.

After stepping aboard some of the world’s most incredible yachts, Paul and Chrissy agree, "Santana" is unlike any they’ve ever known.

Enjoy your cruise through the colorful history of "Santana" and as you do, if you recognize something is amiss, please let us know by sending a note to info@thesantana.com.
