Serious Offshore Raised Saloon Cutter Built by Ta Shing and Designed by Bill Dixon

CELEBRATE is a 2003 Taswell 58 All Season raised saloon cutter designed by Bill Dixon and built by the renowned Ta Shing yard in Taiwan. Taswell yachts have earned a loyal following among experienced cruisers for their robust construction, offshore-first layouts, quality joinery, cutter rigs, and thoughtful systems access, and CELEBRATE is a strong example of that pedigree.

The All Season raised saloon design gives CELEBRATE an interior that feels open, bright, and livable without sacrificing her offshore purpose. The raised deck saloon brings excellent natural light and visibility into the main living space, while the three-cabin, two-head layout, large navigation station, deep galley, and private aft master stateroom create a yacht that is equally comfortable crossing oceans or living aboard at anchor.

CELEBRATE has benefited from significant recent upgrades, including new standing rigging in 2021, a new Quantum LeisureFurl mainsail in 2024, Raymarine Axiom electronics, Raymarine radar and AIS, Starlink, Victron charging and monitoring equipment, a 2022 bow thruster, a 2022 Max-Prop, and all hatches and portlights pulled and re-bedded in 2023. She is also offered turnkey with extensive tools, spares, galley ware, custom bedding, linens, and a 2022 AB center-console tender with 40 HP Honda outboard.

For the buyer seeking a serious bluewater cruising yacht with Bill Dixon design, Ta Shing craftsmanship, real offshore systems, and the comfort of a raised saloon, CELEBRATE is a rare and compelling offering in the 58-foot market.

CELEBRATE is a 2003 Taswell 58 All Season raised saloon cutter, designed by Bill Dixon and built by Ta Shing Yacht Building in Taiwan. The Taswell 58 All Season was conceived as a serious semi-custom offshore cruiser, combining the proven Taswell bluewater DNA with a raised deck saloon that brings natural light, protected visibility, and excellent livability into a yacht capable of real passagemaking.

The interior arrangement is a three-cabin, two-head layout with a spacious raised saloon, large navigation station, forward VIP stateroom, port guest cabin with over/under berths, and a full-beam aft owner’s stateroom. The joinery is one of the yacht’s defining features: curved furniture, warm teak craftsmanship, well-planned storage, and a finish quality associated with Ta Shing’s best cruising yachts.

From the cockpit, the companionway leads into the raised saloon. The dining area is to port with wraparound seating, while a sitting area with twin settees and a coffee table sits adjacent. The navigation station is positioned to starboard. Forward, the port guest cabin and forward head lead to the VIP stateroom. Aft to port, the galley runs from the saloon toward the owner’s suite, with mechanical access inboard. The aft master cabin is private, spacious, and well ventilated, with an en-suite head to starboard.

Interior Styling and Additional Features:

• Raised deck saloon layout with abundant natural light and excellent visibility
