The 36.9-metre motor yacht Koju has been listed for sale with Matthew Stone of IYC.
Koju was constructed in GRP by Italian shipyard Benetti and delivered in 2022 as one unit from the yard's Motopanfilo 37M model. Exterior design is by Francesco Struglia, in collaboration with Benetti, while the interior is by renowned Lazzarini & Pickering.
Inspiration was taken from Motopanfilo models of the 1960s and 1970s, and the end result is said to retain classical elegance combined with modern-day requirements. Loro Piana fabrics and bespoke furnishings, combined with exquisite detailing, give a feel of nautical minimalism with comfort. Structural frames that are visible inside are supposed to represent whale bones.
Floor-to-ceiling windows ensure ample natural light floods into the saloon and formal dining room, as well as keeping a connection with the surrounding water.
Accommodation is for 10 guests with a master suite – with his-and-hers bathrooms and private study – on the main deck and four doubles, with beds athwartships, on the lower deck. There are quarters for a crew of up to eight.
The water-level beach club is described as "Hamptons style", and this is complemented by a lounging area surrounding the pool on the foredeck and an observation deck where al fresco meals with a view are enjoyed.
The yacht for sale has a cruising speed of 13 knots and a top speed of 16 knots. She is proven in the charter market and is commercially compliant, ready for the summer season.
Lying in the British Virgin Islands, Koju is asking $17,450,000.
