Major price reduction on SARAFSA.

The seller of the 82m (269ft) SARAFSA has instructed us, as worldwide Central Agent, to reduce her asking price significantly, by EUR 10,000,000. She is now asking EUR 65,000,000. The seller is very keen to attract serious offers that will lead to a successful transaction.

Clients looking for a substantial northern European yacht of 3,179GT, on which they can put their own stamp with a refit, should inspect the yacht in Loano, Italy, to appreciate fully the yacht’s compelling potential. Only ever used privately, SARAFSA represents a rare opportunity to own a large northern European yacht at a fraction of the replacement cost when shipyards have new-build wait times of several years.

SARAFSA has a steel hull and aluminium superstructure constructed to Lloyd’s classification and delivered by British shipyard Devonport Yachts in 2008. Her interiors and exteriors are by Winch Design and her naval architecture is by Burness Corlett Three Quays.

This is a yacht of extraordinary volume, with five guest decks all served by an elevator and a beam of 15m (49.2ft) and packed with impressive features. The sun deck is a wellness centre with hammam, gym, spa pool and jacuzzi beneath a retractable roof and the stairwell atrium has an etched glass skylight.

There is a sit-up bar and the extensive sun deck area aft serves two purposes: as a helipad and a versatile space for sun lounging, yoga, exercise and entertainment.

Below is a dedicated owner's deck with an observation lounge forward featuring several seating areas including outside seating. The owner's suite aft has its own lobby, bathroom with bath, very large walk-in wardrobe, changing room and spacious private terrace aft. There is also a guest cabin forward with walk-in wardrobe, bathroom and another staff/security double cabin to port.

Entertainment is the theme on the bridge deck. There is an 11-seat cinema opposite the owner's private study. Aft is a large informal lounge with a fully equipped bar and a formal ‘winter garden’ dining room for 16 guests aft. Outside is a sun lounge with bar and buffet positions and the bridge deck also has a VIP suite forward to starboard.

The main deck has three guest suites forward and a convertible suite-sized guest lounge with en suite shower room completing accommodation for 14 guests in seven suites. There is a second formal dining room for 14 guests, a hair salon, a more formal lounge aft and beyond an ante room is the main deck aft with steps leading down to an extensive swim platform. The main deck also has two shell doors concealing her 9m (29.5ft) and 8m (26.2ft) tenders.

Her lower deck has an additional 10 staff (or junior guest) cabins for 14 guests or staff and SARAFSA also sleeps 23 crew. There is a teak guest boarding terrace and beach club area next to the elevator lobby and in the lazarette aft is stowage for a host of watertoys, a dive locker and a compact car.

Twin 2,682hp MTU diesel engines give her a top speed of 16 knots and a transoceanic range of 6,000nm at her cruising speed of 13 knots. Zero speed stabilisers provide exceptional comfort at anchor.

Following her EUR 10,000,000 price reduction, clearly the yacht is seriously for sale asking EUR 65,000,000 and all realistic offers are encouraged.
