The 53.9-metre motor yacht Bella has been sold with Kevin Bonnie of IYC representing the seller and Edouard Vignal of Ocean Independence representing the buyer. The sale follows a €1,500,000 deduction from her sales listing at the start of November 2025.
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 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 was last asking €8,000,000.
