A €2,245,000 price drop has been announced on the 41.4-metre motor yacht Ruya, listed for sale with John St Hill of Burgess.
Built in composite by Alia Yachts in Turkey and delivered in 2016, Ruya was the winner of a Neptune at the World Superyacht Awards in the same year.
The yacht's naval architecture was completed by Van Oossanen Naval Architects, with the exterior and interior design by Sam Sorgiovanni who drew on the Australian outback for inspiration. Accommodation is for 12 guests in five spacious cabins, including a full-beam master suite forward on the main deck with large picture windows and a private office. This is complemented by two double cabins and two twin cabins on the lower deck, the latter with extra Pullman berths.
Floor-to-ceiling glass in the main saloon and formal dining room create a sense of openness that flows into the main deck aft lounge area. The broker said that "her interior makes use of indigenous material like bamboo and Australian silky oak to create a relaxed, comforting environment". The upper deck saloon's windows can be blacked out and the space configured for use as a private screening room.
Ruya's large 93-square-metre sundeck sports an "oversized" glass-faced Jacuzzi, wet bar, barbecue and al fresco dining table. The yacht also benefits from a beach club and hydraulic swim platform, giving step-free access to the sea. A dedicated tender garage and watertoy stowage, with portside access, keeps the beach club deck clear for guests.
The 499 GT yacht for sale is powered by twin 1,000 hp Caterpillar diesel engines and has a top speed of 14 knots with a cruising speed of 10 knots. Range is transatlantic at 3,500 nautical miles.
Ruya is now asking €15,750,000.
