Another central agency change here as Jonathan Barbe at Edmiston & Company takes over the listing on the classic 47.96m motor yacht RS Eden with a €1.05 million price drop.
She was originally built in 1930 by Defoe Boat & Motor Works to a design by John H Wells and passed through a succession of owners and names, even being requisitioned by the US Navy in World War II.
An extensive refit was undertaken in 2005/2006, including the requirements of adding an owner’s office and extended aft deck, improving visibility in the dining room, the capability of meeting MCA standards, and generally of returning the vessel to her original classic 1930s style, paying special attention to her original features and aiming to retain as many of them as possible – all the while bringing her navigation and communication systems into the 21st century.
Now RINA classed and MCA compliant, RS Eden accommodates 11 guests in six staterooms while twin 650hp Caterpillar give her a stately maximum speed of 11 knots and a range of 4,000 nautical miles.
Lying in Monaco, RS Eden is now asking €6.95 milion.
