47m Amtec Long-Range Steel Motor Yacht for Sale in Fiumicino, Italy

The 47-metre motor yacht R23, built by Amtec Turkey in 2002 and comprehensively refitted in 2019, is a displacement-class steel yacht offering substantial long-range capability, generous volume, and a practical layout designed for comfortable extended cruising. Offered for sale in Fiumicino, Italy, and registered under the Italian flag, she is a compelling option for buyers seeking a serious offshore platform that combines steel-hull durability, functional exterior spaces, and strong guest and crew accommodation. Her refit-enhanced configuration, extended hull arrangement, and impressive 11,516-nautical-mile range make her stand apart from more conventional yachts in this size band.

Construction, Design & Structural Enhancement

Built with a displacement steel hull and steel superstructure, the yacht measures 47 metres in overall length with a beam of 8.33 metres and a draft of 2.35 metres. Internal volume is approximately 456 GT and displacement is around 400 tonnes, creating excellent onboard space, stability, and carrying capacity for longer voyages. Naval architecture and exterior styling were developed by Soyaslan Marine, while the interior design was created by Salvagni Architetti, bringing a more refined and contemporary finish to the yacht’s robust structural platform. Exterior surfaces include teak decks throughout, and the white topsides are accented by darker detailing around the boot top and underwater sections for a timeless, well-defined visual profile. A significant six-metre hull extension materially improved the yacht’s practicality, enlarging the aft swim platform into a versatile beach area while also allowing a watertight entrance to the engine room. This structural enhancement adds both operational and guest-experience value, increasing sea access while improving service and maintenance practicality.

Engines, Range & Cruising Profile

R23 is powered by twin Caterpillar 3508 diesel engines, each delivering 1,014 horsepower, for a combined output of 2,028hp. Propulsion is through a twin-screw arrangement designed for stable, dependable cruising and fuel-efficient long-distance passage making. The yacht cruises at around 12 knots and reaches a maximum speed of approximately 13 knots. What truly distinguishes her, however, is range: with 84,000 litres of fuel, she is capable of approximately 11,516 nautical miles, making her exceptionally well suited to transoceanic cruising, exploration, or ownership programmes that prioritise autonomy and global movement. Freshwater capacity stands at 22,000 litres, further reinforcing onboard independence over extended itineraries. Stabilizers operate both underway and at anchor, improving comfort in changing sea conditions, and a bow thruster supports easier marina manoeuvring.

Bridge, Engineering & Operational Readiness

The bridge deck houses a modern navigation station with eight multifunctional touch-screen displays, radar systems, chart plotting capability, communication equipment, and ergonomically arranged helm and chart-table space. Engineering areas have been configured for sensible maintenance access around engines, cooling systems, exhaust components, and filtration equipment, while electrical infrastructure includes generators, battery banks, panels, and shore-power arrangements sized for a yacht of this scale. The yacht’s steel construction and displacement form support steady seakeeping and long-term durability, making her especially attractive to buyers who value serious passage-making capability rather than purely high-speed operation.

Exterior Guest Areas & Leisure Layout

The exterior arrangement is designed for social use, easy circulation, and panoramic enjoyment. Full 360-degree walk-around decks provide uninterrupted movement around the yacht and include seating areas with tables and parasols for shaded conversation or casual outdoor dining. The bow carries watercraft and toys, including three RIB tenders and a jet ski, while still maintaining a practical and uncluttered operational layout. The extended cockpit area, sheltered by the deck above, is furnished with light rattan seating on teak decking and integrates naturally with the interior salon. The top deck forms a dedicated leisure zone with jacuzzi, sunbeds, solarium, sofas, and a foldout dining table supported by an exterior galley and bar, creating a complete upper-level entertainment environment. The swim platform works as a beach-club-style space for sea access, toy deployment, or simple waterside relaxation.

Interior Accommodation & Onboard Comfort

Inside, the main salon is bright and welcoming, with large sofas arranged to create a social lounge environment accented by warm detailing. It flows naturally into a formal dining area seating up to 10 guests, creating a layout that supports both private family use and guest entertainment. A skylounge on the bridge deck offers an alternative interior retreat for films or relaxed conversation, while the bridge deck aft provides a particularly attractive alfresco dining area. Accommodation is arranged for up to 12 guests across six cabins. The owner’s suite is positioned on the main deck and includes a central bed, walk-in wardrobe, large mirrors, and a spacious bathroom finished with teak flooring, separate shower area, and separate WC. A VIP suite on the lower deck echoes this level of finish, while two double cabins and two twin cabins provide additional guest accommodation, all with ensuite bathrooms. Crew accommodation for up to 10 ensures the yacht can maintain a proper professional service standard.

Amenities, Tenders & Ownership Potential

Air conditioning, onboard Wi-Fi, a gym area, underwater lights, extensive sunpads, and a jacuzzi further enhance onboard comfort. The yacht also carries two tenders, including a Whitmarsh limousine tender with 260hp and a secondary tender with 220hp, enabling guest transfer, shore access, and recreational use. With her steel hull, major range, generous outdoor areas, and strong accommodation profile, she suits private long-distance ownership, exploration-style cruising, or luxury charter deployment. As usual, prospective buyers should carry out full survey, inspection, and sea trial. Transaction steps generally include offer, escrow-backed deposit, survey-led negotiations, and closing followed by delivery and title transfer.
