The Alerion Express fleet has been designed for a single purpose - to give you the rich experience of Alerion Sailing. From the keel to the masthead, design and technology decisions have been made solely to deliver the best daysailing experience available.  This is the way sailing should be.

The end result is a graceful line of daysailers that uniquely fuse beauty, speed and single-handed ease. This combination is the optimal sailing experience for seasoned yachtsmen who find that today’s busy times cannot conveniently accommodate the demands of a fixed racing or cruising schedule. Alerion Express allows a lifestyle that lets you choose to sail when it suits your mood and your schedule, while never having to sacrifice performance – or to line up crew.

Whether you choose the AE20, AE28, AE33, or the stunning AE38, Alerion Express is daysailing the way it should be.

THE AE 20

The Alerion Express 20 is a tried and true daysailer that has been brought back by popular demand. All the Alerion essentials are present--classic topside, modern underbody, gratifying speed and single-handed ease.

THE AE 28

Sailboats are by nature, graceful, and many claim to please your eye. But only one brand earns the title of “the prettiest girl at the dance.” The Alerion Express 28, the model that many brands have tried to catch, has become synonymous with that descriptive.

THE AE 33

True to the Alerion Express heritage, you will immediately recognize the beauty, performance and comfort of the Alerion Express 33. The combination of a modern underbody, extremely comfortable cockpit and cabin, and beautiful topsides delivers another classic beauty that is synonymous with Alerion.

THE AE 38

Alerion Express 38, while still faithful to the concept that single-handing is an important capability, offers considerably more interior space and larger cockpit than her smaller sisters.
