Chiara Remonti at YCO sends me news of a significant price cut to the 49.8m motor yacht Pestifer I, making her one of the best value 50m yachts on the market.
She was built by CRN in 1998. Lloyds classed and MCA compliant, she can accommodate eight guests in a master, two doubles and one twin stateroom.
Conceived for a very discerning owner wishing to cruise with a small number of close friends, she is most definitely an "owner's yacht". Her designers, Paolo Scanu and François Zuretti, have not attempted to conform to the current dictates of the charter market, and the result is both refreshing and intimate. Completed to the highest possible specification, Pestifer I is full of pleasant surprises, both in her engineering and her interior finish.
She has recently been surveyed by Patton Marine, all of whose recommendations have been put into effect, and a brand new Stability Booklet (Intact and Damaged) was issued by Lloyds two weeks ago. All certificates of compliance are up to date, less than 30 days old and in original form.
Pestifer I is now asking $13.5 million, down from $15 million. She will be available for inspections along the Cote D'Azur during the Cannes and Monaco Yacht Shows.
