43.12m Italyachts Open Performance Yacht for Sale in Imperia, Italy

Built by Italyachts and delivered in July 2011 after construction began in early 2008, this 43.12-metre open motor yacht offers a powerful combination of high-speed engineering, bold Italian styling, and refined contemporary interiors. Refitted in 2023 and lying in Imperia, Italy, she is an excellent option for buyers seeking a performance-led luxury yacht with strong visual identity, major exterior entertainment areas, and the flexibility to operate as either a striking private ownership platform or a premium charter yacht in fast-paced Mediterranean cruising grounds. Registered under the Marshall Islands flag, she stands out for her triple-engine propulsion package, shallow draft, and unusually expansive flybridge for her class.

Design, Hull Construction & Exterior Identity

Naval architecture and exterior styling are by Andrea Bacigalupo, while the interior concept was created by Cristiano Gatto Design, resulting in a cohesive and highly distinctive yacht with unmistakably Italian proportions and detailing. Built with a GRP planing hull and GRP superstructure, the yacht is finished in a striking Golden Sand colour across both hull and superstructure, setting her apart visually from more conventional white or metallic yachts in this segment. She measures 43.12m overall with an 8.35m beam, a notably shallow 1.35m draft, and internal volume of approximately 343 GT. Displacement is around 102 tonnes, balancing structural substance with the agility required for planing performance. Teak decks extend across her two principal decks and flybridge configuration, enhancing both durability and visual warmth. Her shallow draft provides genuine access advantages in coastal anchorages and island-hopping itineraries where deeper-displacement yachts may be restricted.

High-Performance Propulsion & Speed Capability

Performance is one of this yacht’s defining features. She is powered by three MTU 16V2000 M93 diesel engines, each producing 2,400 horsepower at 2450 rpm, for a combined output of 7,200hp. Propulsion is delivered through triple waterjets, a configuration chosen specifically for fast acceleration, reduced draft, responsive handling, and strong manoeuvrability at higher speeds. She reaches a maximum speed of approximately 33 knots, cruises comfortably at around 30 knots, and can maintain an economic cruising speed of approximately 20 knots, at which point range extends to roughly 600 nautical miles. Fuel capacity is 23,400 litres. Waterjet propulsion not only enhances shallow-water performance but also contributes to more responsive steering and reduced drag in suitable operating profiles. A bow thruster improves low-speed control during docking, while stabilizers operating both underway and at anchor help deliver better comfort during operation and while stationary.

Engineering Layout & Service Support

The engine room has been arranged to allow practical service access around the triple MTU installation and associated mechanical systems. This includes support for routine inspection of engines, transmission components, cooling systems, and electrical machinery. The use of MTU diesel propulsion also gives the yacht the benefit of globally recognized service infrastructure, proven reliability in the superyacht sector, and a strong power-to-weight ratio that matches her performance mission. The 2023 refit further underlines continued owner investment in maintenance and presentation, helping ensure that the yacht remains competitive and desirable in the brokerage market.

Guest Accommodation & Interior Finish

Accommodation is arranged for up to eight guests across four cabins, comprising a full-beam owner’s suite, a full-beam VIP cabin, one additional double cabin, and one twin cabin with an extra Pullman berth. The full-beam owner’s suite spans the yacht’s generous 8.35-metre beam and includes a private dressing area and ensuite bathroom featuring a sauna, adding a level of owner comfort that is rarely found on performance-led open yachts. The main saloon is arranged around twin cream sofas positioned opposite one another to create a sociable central lounge, further enhanced by a glossy black bar and integrated desk area. Interior materials include ebony wood finishes, cream leather upholstery, and a warm palette of cream and brown tones that together create an elegant yet contemporary atmosphere. Large angular windows admit strong natural light and reinforce the yacht’s visual link to the sea. Crew accommodation for seven is arranged in three cabins, supporting discreet and professional onboard service.

Exterior Entertaining & Leisure Features

Exterior guest areas are a major strength of the design. The flybridge is one of the largest in her class and incorporates a jacuzzi, outdoor bar, and extensive sunpad areas, creating a prime entertainment zone for day use, sunset gatherings, or fast coastal cruising. Additional al fresco seating and dining areas are positioned aft and on the foredeck, giving guests multiple environments that can be selected depending on privacy, sun, and wind conditions. A tender garage enables discreet storage of tender and water equipment, while an integrated crane supports launch and retrieval operations. Full air conditioning, Wi-Fi connectivity, sunpads, and refined detailing throughout add to her usability as a stylish and fully capable luxury platform.

Ownership Perspective & Purchase Structure

Advanced bridge systems typically include radar, GPS, chart plotters, autopilot, AIS, and communications systems suitable for both coastal and offshore cruising. Marshall Islands registration offers flexibility for international ownership, subject to buyer-specific tax and regulatory advice. As part of any standard acquisition process, prospective buyers are advised to carry out a professional survey and sea trial to confirm structural, mechanical, cosmetic, and systems condition. Transaction practice would normally involve offer, negotiated agreement, escrow-backed deposit, inspection and acceptance, then closing and delivery. With 33-knot performance, 343 GT of volume, and a 2023 refit, this yacht offers strong value for those seeking a serious high-speed luxury platform with unmistakable design character.
