33m modern classic motor yacht Far Niente sold and renamed Dastaf

The 32.7-metre modern classic motor yacht Dastaf (ex Far Niente) has been sold in a deal with Alastair Shove of Carrswood Yachts representing the seller and Whit Kirtland of Northrop & Johnson introducing the buyer. This follows a €2,000,000 price reduction in March this year.

Despite her classical profile, Dastaf was delivered in June 2024 by Turkish shipyard SES Yachts - as a result, she is host to the latest technology and modern innovations, including a fuel-efficient hull design. Hoek Design Naval Architects penned her naval architecture, exterior and interior design, with her round-bilged hull and wood panelling said to be inspired by the "Dutch herring luggers of the early 1900s".

Dastaf was commissioned by experienced owners, constructed with a steel hull and a wood-composite superstructure, designed as an "exquisite classic style expedition yacht", according to her broker.

Accommodation on board is for 10 guests in five cabins, including a full-beam, en suite owner's cabin on the main deck, with three additional cabins allocated for a crew of six.

Dastaf's interiors represent a timeless blend of the old and the new. Grey-washed oak and white panelling highlight her more contemporary build, while exposed traditional deck heads and timber beams on the main and bridge deck provide an artisanal, classical feel.

A spacious main saloon offers dining for 10 to aft, while a comfortable L-shaped lounge space with entertainment centre lies forward. The bridge deck above offers panoramic views from both the interior television lounge and the elongated deck with al fresco dining, sunpads and an optional awning.

The modern classic motor yacht is also capable of storing two tenders in her foredeck, launched and retrieved using a retractable crane.

The motor yacht is powered by one MAN diesel engine, cruising comfortably at 9.5 knots, with a maximum speed of 11 knots and a range of 3,750 nautical miles. Key specs include an internal volume of 200GT, a beam of 6.7 metres and a low 2.5-metre draught.

Dastaf was last asking €10,500,000.
