26 October 2023 • Written by Nick Jeffery

A $2,450,000 price drop has been announced on the 46.6-metre Cantieri di Pisa motor yacht Balista, listed for sale with Kevin Merrigan and Kristen Klein of Northrop & Johnson.

Built of GRP by Italian yard Cantieri di Pisa and delivered in 2013, the Akhir 46 model was a finalist in the 2014 World Superyacht Awards. Her original Mark Berryman-designed interior received a "makeover" by Curtis House, in collaboration with Louis Anthony and Associates. Balista's sleek exterior profile is by Carlo Galeazzi and she was fully repainted in 2022.

Lying in Palm Beach, USA, Balista is now asking $13,950,000.

Accommodation is provided for a party of up to 14 guests in seven cabins, the main-deck master sporting a king-sized bed and both a bath tub and a shower in twin his and hers bathrooms. 

The VIP suite can be configured as a full-beam stateroom with a lounge or separated into two cabins, one with twin beds, ideal for children. The lower deck also has two double cabins and two twin cabins. There are quarters for a crew of 10.

Balista's main saloon – finished in Italian woodwork with marble accents and leather detailing – has a formal 12-seater dining table forward, a bar and generous amounts of "sumptuous furnishings" for entertaining.

Up a level, the skylounge boasts retractable balconies, port and starboard. This lounge seamlessly leads out to the al fresco dining area. Balista's sundeck features forward-facing C-shaped seating, a bar forward, a centrally-positioned Jacuzzi and a giant sunpad aft.

The 467GT yacht for sale has a maximum speed of 26 knots and cruising speed of 17 knots under twin MTU engines. Range is 1,800 nautical miles and she has zero-speed stabilisers. The brokers pointed out that Balista has an excellent charter history and that her 10-year ABS class survey was completed in 2023.

Lying in Palm Beach, USA, Balista is now asking $13,950,000.
