Description

This distinguished 27-meter yacht offers a rare blend of classic craftsmanship and cutting-edge modernization following a comprehensive refit in 2023. Built in 2003 by skilled Turkish shipbuilders, her laminated wood hull and traditional displacement design have been enhanced with contemporary systems, positioning her as a luxurious private cruiser or a lucrative charter investment. Currently flagged in Turkey, this seaworthy vessel is fully compliant with international safety regulations and ready for immediate delivery from her Bodrum base.

Specifications and Build Quality

Measuring 27 meters in overall length, this yacht features a wide beam that translates to generous interior volumes and wide, open decks. Her laminated wood construction ensures longevity, resistance to marine conditions, and a soft ride through waves. The deck layout is highly functional, featuring expansive lounging zones, shaded alfresco dining, and a swim platform for direct sea access. Her moderate draft makes her ideal for a wide variety of cruising areas, from open seas to shallow bays.

Engineering and Performance

Powered by a robust 380HP IVECO engine, the yacht cruises comfortably at 11 knots and reaches a top speed of 12 knots. With fuel consumption of 380L/hr and large fuel tanks, she provides a balanced range for short hops or long passages. Stabilizers ensure a stable ride, and advanced soundproofing systems guarantee near-silent operation while underway. Supporting these systems is a modern generator that powers all onboard amenities, from the air conditioning to navigation electronics, ensuring off-grid capability in secluded anchorages.

Luxurious Accommodation

The yacht welcomes up to 10 guests in five deluxe cabins—two master suites and three spacious doubles—all with private ensuites. Styled with a nautical yet contemporary flair, the interiors feature plush bedding, custom cabinetry, and large windows for natural light. The expansive salon is fitted with a home cinema system, panoramic windows, and refined furnishings. A separate crew quarter houses four professionals, including a captain, chef, and two deckhands, providing discreet, full-service hospitality throughout your voyage.

Outdoor Living and Water Access

The yacht’s expansive exterior features multiple social zones for dining, sunbathing, and lounging. The flybridge offers sun loungers and a commanding view, while the aft and foredeck are configured for relaxation and open-air dining. A wide swim platform allows for easy water access, and garage storage includes a 4.80m Joker tender (60HP), Seabobs, wakeboard, skis, paddleboards, inflatable toys like Big Mable, and complete fishing/snorkeling kits—ideal for both active guests and charter clientele.

Advanced Navigation and Onboard Technology

Navigation is handled via a Simrad and B&G suite, including GPS, radar, chartplotter, AIS, autopilot, and VHF communications. Sonar and electronic monitoring systems enhance offshore capabilities. Integration with onboard systems allows for route planning and diagnostics directly from the helm or remotely. A freshwater maker (350L/h) and drinking water treatment system enhance autonomy during longer voyages.

Charter History and Investment Potential

This yacht is proven in the charter market, with seasonal rates ranging from €21,000 to €33,250 per week, offering strong ROI potential. With capacity for 10 guests, a full toy inventory, and an established charter record, she’s an appealing acquisition for commercial operators. Alternatively, her refined comfort makes her a long-range private cruiser of exceptional pedigree.

Maintenance and Refit Highlights

The 2023 refit encompassed technical, aesthetic, and structural updates, including hull servicing, interior remodeling, and navigation tech upgrades. Sails—main, mizzen, furling jib, and electric genoa—are well-maintained and operational. Rigging was inspected during the last antifouling treatment. The engine and generator have been recently overhauled and perform at optimum levels. A detailed service log is available upon request, reflecting exceptional upkeep.

Legal, VAT, and Sales Details

Currently Turkish-flagged, the yacht complies with national and international chartering regulations. VAT remains unpaid, offering flexibility for buyers depending on jurisdiction or future use. With straightforward ownership history, no accident reports, and limited seasonal charter usage, this yacht presents as a clean, well-maintained asset. Surveys, sea trials, and short-term trial charters can be arranged, and escrow-secured purchase terms ensure buyer protection.

Additional Support

The sale includes all navigational and safety equipment, tools, spares, and water toys. Buyers may also benefit from support services including delivery, marina berthing assistance, crew recruitment, and management consultation. Financing and leasing may be available for qualified buyers.

Insurance details

- KaterBlue ensures all boats are insured by their owners, but advise guests to secure Travel Insurance for off-boat incidents. While boat owners cover marine accidents, guests are responsible for their valuables, or entrust to the captain. In case of an accident, captains must inform KaterBlue promptly. Owners are liable for the lack of proper insurance. Guests engaging in water sports do so at their own risk and should have personal insurance.
