Tamsen Yachts 40.5m High-Performance Luxury Motor Yacht for Sale
Built in 2009 and comprehensively refitted in 2016, this striking 40.5-metre Tamsen motor yacht combines contemporary styling, shallow-draft accessibility and impressive planing performance. Her naval architecture, exterior styling and interior design were all developed by Tamsen Yachts, creating a coherent and distinctive yacht suited to private Mediterranean cruising, long-range adventures or luxury charter use.
Modern GRP Construction
Constructed in Turkey using advanced GRP techniques, the yacht features a strong yet comparatively lightweight planing hull and matching superstructure. She measures 40.5 metres overall, with a 32-metre waterline length, expansive 8.6-metre beam and shallow 1.65-metre draft. Her approximately 358 GT interior volume is distributed across three teak-laid decks.
The shallow draft opens access to anchorages and cruising grounds unavailable to many yachts of comparable size. A sophisticated grey hull contrasts with the white superstructure, while expansive glazing and generous exterior spaces create a contemporary profile. Alfresco dining, sunbathing and social areas encourage an effortless connection between the interior and the sea.
Accommodation for 10 Guests
Five guest cabins accommodate up to 10 guests in comfort. Generous proportions and the yacht’s broad beam create spacious private and communal areas, while refined interior materials establish an elegant residential atmosphere. The accommodation arrangement is supported by three crew cabins with sleeping capacity for up to eight crew members, allowing professional service and effective technical operation.
Multiple saloons and exterior entertainment zones provide flexibility for owners and guests. The practical division between social spaces, private accommodation and crew working areas supports both family cruising and commercially managed use.
Performance and Cruising Versatility
The planing hull has been developed for higher cruising speeds than conventional displacement yachts of similar dimensions while retaining comfortable handling and stability. Machinery, engine hours, generator specifications, consumption figures, cruising speed, maximum speed and range should be confirmed against the current technical specification and verified during survey, as these details may have changed through servicing or refit work.
The 2016 refit demonstrates continued investment in the yacht, although purchasers should review the complete refit schedule, maintenance records and subsequent upgrades. Navigation electronics, stabilisation equipment, safety systems, hotel services, tenders, water toys and loose inventory should likewise be checked before contract completion.
A Distinctive Yacht in the South of France
With its wide beam, shallow draft, bold profile, spacious five-cabin layout and Tamsen design pedigree, this yacht stands apart from conventional vessels in the 40-metre market. Prospective purchasers are advised to commission an independent structural and machinery survey, haul-out inspection and sea trial. Subject to prior appointment, qualified buyers may arrange a private viewing in Nice to assess this individual yacht and her future cruising potential.
