This German-built deck-salon yacht squeezes the comfort and livability of a 40-footer into a 35-foot hull, thanks to its innovative split-level layout, multiple interior options, and all-weather visibility. With its choice of keel configurations, from deep fin to twin or lifting keels, the Sirius 35 DS is designed to go anywhere sailors dream of, from shoal-water creeks to bluewater passages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe id=\"gkstfcayky\" src=\"https:\/\/cruisingworld.dragonforms.com\/gkstfcayky\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"width:100%;height:165px;border:none;overflow:hidden;\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its introduction, the Sirius 35 DS has set a high bar for deck-salon cruising yachts. The raised salon delivers true 360-degree views and abundant natural light, welcome on passage or at anchor. Belowdecks, buyers can choose two, four, or six berths and one or two heads. A standout feature: the dedicated workshop and storage area, a rarity on a yacht this size, which keeps tools, spares, and technical gear neatly organized and easily accessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"hydra-container\">\n\n\t\t\t                <div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/4-berth-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Sirius 35 DS design\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/4-berth-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/4-berth-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/4-berth-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/4-berth-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/4-berth.jpg 2000w\" \/>                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n            <figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">Four keel options\u2014deep, shoal, twin, or lifting\u2014let owners tailor draft and performance for everything from offshore passages to shallow coastal cruising.<\/span>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Courtesy Sirius Yachts<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t            <\/figcaption>\n        <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>By eliminating a traditional aft cabin in some layouts, Sirius has opened up space for larger berths, airy lounges, and an impressively roomy galley and head. Hull and deck are hand-laid fiberglass reinforced with vacuum-adhered sandwich construction for stiffness and insulation, and the interior shows off Sirius\u2019s hallmark mahogany joinery and craftsmanship. CE Category A (Ocean) certification and robust hardware throughout confirm that the 35 DS is built for offshore work as well as comfortable coastal cruising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sirius 35 DS Specifications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>LOA<\/strong><\/td><td>34 ft 9 in (10.60 m)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>LWL<\/strong><\/td><td>31 ft 10 in (9.70 m)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Beam<\/strong><\/td><td>11 ft 7 in (3.53 m)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Displacement<\/strong><\/td><td>17,850 lbs (8.1 t)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Ballast<\/strong><\/td><td>5,732 lbs (2.6 t)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Keel Options<\/strong><\/td><td>Deep fin, shoal fin, twin, or lifting keel<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Draft Range<\/strong><\/td><td>6 ft 6 in (1.98 m) to 2 ft 9 in (0.85 m) lifting keel up<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Engine<\/strong><\/td><td>Volvo D2-50 diesel, 51 hp<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Sail Area (Main\/Jib)<\/strong><\/td><td>33.5 m\u00b2 + 23.2 m\u00b2 (standard)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Certification<\/strong><\/td><td>CE Category A (Ocean)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Builder<\/strong><\/td><td>Sirius Yachts, Germany<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Split-Level Living<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sirius 35 DS\u2019s defining feature is its split-level interior. The raised salon gives near-panoramic views while providing a light-filled lounge area at deck level. Steps down lead to the galley, heads, and private cabins. This arrangement not only maximizes interior volume but also enhances safety at sea by keeping the crew\u2019s movements low and centered. Whether configured for two, four, or six berths, the 35 DS\u2019s layout offers remarkable privacy and livability for a yacht in this size range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"hydra-container\">\n\n\t\t\t                <div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Sirius-Yachts-35ds-interior-OPT-copy-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Sirius 35 DS interior\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Sirius-Yachts-35ds-interior-OPT-copy-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Sirius-Yachts-35ds-interior-OPT-copy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Sirius-Yachts-35ds-interior-OPT-copy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Sirius-Yachts-35ds-interior-OPT-copy-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Sirius-Yachts-35ds-interior-OPT-copy.jpg 1920w\" \/>                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n            <figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">The raised salon\u2019s split-level design connects easily to the cockpit, creating a bright, protected living space with all-weather visibility.<\/span>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Courtesy Sirius Yachts<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t            <\/figcaption>\n        <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multiple Keel Configurations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the Sirius 35 DS\u2019s most versatile traits is its choice of four keel options: deep fin for maximum performance, shoal fin for coastal cruising, twin keels for drying out on the hard or tidal moorings, and a lifting keel for ultimate flexibility. With draft as shallow as 2ft. 9in. and as deep as 6ft. 10in., owners can tailor the boat to their cruising grounds without sacrificing stability or interior comfort. This adaptability helps the Sirius 35 DS stand apart from typical 35-footers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Workshop and Storage Space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"hydra-container\">\n\n\t\t\t                <div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/SIRIUS-35-DS-SALON-IMG_2395-1920x1280-OPT-copy-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Sirius 35 DS salon\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/SIRIUS-35-DS-SALON-IMG_2395-1920x1280-OPT-copy-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/SIRIUS-35-DS-SALON-IMG_2395-1920x1280-OPT-copy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/SIRIUS-35-DS-SALON-IMG_2395-1920x1280-OPT-copy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/SIRIUS-35-DS-SALON-IMG_2395-1920x1280-OPT-copy-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/SIRIUS-35-DS-SALON-IMG_2395-1920x1280-OPT-copy.jpg 1920w\" \/>                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n            <figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">Rich mahogany joinery and thoughtful ergonomics make the Sirius 35 DS\u2019s deck salon feel like a much larger yacht\u2019s interior.<\/span>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Courtesy Sirius Yachts<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t            <\/figcaption>\n        <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>Long-term cruisers know the value of a proper workshop, and the Sirius 35 DS delivers. By rethinking the traditional aft cabin, Sirius carved out a dedicated utility and storage area ideal for tools, spares, or even a compact washer-dryer. Accessed via the salon, this space keeps the boat\u2019s technical gear centralized and out of the living areas. Combined with abundant lockers, a deep galley, and flexible cabin layouts, the 35 DS provides the kind of onboard organization normally reserved for much larger yachts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Videos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Full Tour<br><\/strong>Take a walk through the Sirius 35 DS with the builder\u2019s own video tour, showing off its innovative deck-salon concept, flexible layouts, and standout craftsmanship.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/OJNFmRGnMV4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch on YouTube<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Maneuvering<\/strong><br>See how the Sirius 35 DS handles under power and sail with this on-the-water demonstration of its easy docking and responsive steering.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/dTpc9OkBigI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch on YouTube<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Editor\u2019s First Take<\/h3>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"hydra-container\">\n\n\t\t\t                <div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/35-ds-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Sirius 35 DS underway\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/35-ds-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/35-ds-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/35-ds-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/35-ds-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/35-ds.jpg 2000w\" \/>                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n            <figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">Designed for adventure, the 35 DS balances offshore strength with effortless handling for couples or small crews exploring far and wide.<\/span>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Courtesy Sirius Yachts<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t            <\/figcaption>\n        <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>As soon as you step aboard the Sirius 35 DS, it\u2019s clear this boat doesn\u2019t follow the usual 35-foot playbook. The raised salon feels like a miniature pilothouse with sweeping views, the kind of light and space you\u2019d expect on a 40-footer. Below, the layouts are refreshingly versatile, from an airy two-berth \u201cfor-two\u201d version with a lounge forward, to four or even six berths with extra heads. Add in multiple keel choices and a dedicated workshop space, and the 35 DS becomes not just a capable cruiser but a uniquely personal one. For sailors wanting big-boat features without big-boat handling, this yacht is a standout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"hydra-container\">\n\n\t\t\t                <div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/35-09-Cliff-copy-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Sirius 35 DS at anchor\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/35-09-Cliff-copy-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/35-09-Cliff-copy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/35-09-Cliff-copy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/35-09-Cliff-copy-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/35-09-Cliff-copy.jpg 1920w\" \/>                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n            <figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">With a lifting or twin-keel configuration, the Sirius 35 DS can nose into quiet coves and tidal flats\u2014ideal for gunkholing and exploration off the grid.<\/span>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Courtesy Sirius Yachts<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t            <\/figcaption>\n        <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sirius 35 DS is a nominee for Cruising World\u2019s <strong>Boat of the Year 2026<\/strong>.
