A further price drop of €1,500,000 has been announced on the 53.9-metre motor yacht Bella, listed for sale with Kevin Bonnie of IYC. This reduction comes just eight days after a previous €1,400,000 was deducted from her sales listing at the end of October.
Delivered in 2005, Bella is the largest yacht ever built by New Zealand-based shipyard Sensation Yachts. She was constructed in steel and aluminium to a design by Jon Overing, with naval architecture developed in-house by the yard.
The 53.9-metre underwent a significant refit in 2023, which blended "luxury with the rugged capabilities of an explorer yacht", according to her broker. Works included the installation of a brand-new AC unit, new teak decking and new interior carpets. She has also recently completed her 20-year survey.
An interior by Mitchell Rubin and François Zuretti offers accommodation for up to 12 guests in six cabins, including a full-beam master suite on the main deck complete with a large en suite bathroom with shower, bathtub and his-and-hers sinks, as well as a private owner's office. Meanwhile, 11 crew are accommodated in six cabins.
Notably expansive, the living spaces are adorned with fine woods, marble accents and opulent furnishings. A "striking" spiral staircase complements Bella's interior and offers seamless connection between all three main decks.
A highlight of Bella is her top deck, where guests can find an enclosed gym with a day head, a large aft deck hot tub and a fully equipped bar. The motor yacht is also equipped with an extensive toy box that includes Seabobs, Jet Skis, inflatables and scuba equipment for 12 guests.
The yacht for sale offers a 16-knot maximum speed and a cruising speed of 13 knots. She is equipped with Zero Speed Quantum fins for additional comfort both underway and at anchor. Key specs include a volume of 768GT and a 9.6-metre beam.
Bella is now asking €8,000,000, currently lying in Viareggio, Italy.
