CANTIERE NAVALE DIANO | 26.2 M | 1999 / 2023 REFIT
Cantiere Navale Diano built very few yachts of this size — and found one in this condition, this comprehensively renewed, is rarer still.
Designed by naval architect Mario Diano and constructed in 1999 to the meticulous standards of the Italian yard, she was fully refitted in 2023 — full exterior repaint, complete interior renewal, updated galley equipment throughout. The result is a 26-metre mahogany motor yacht that presents with the freshness of a vessel a fraction of her age, powered by twin Caterpillar 3412 diesels delivering a proven 21 knots cruise and 28 knots maximum.
At €780,000 VAT paid, she represents exceptional value in a category where comparable Italian builds — GRP or timber — routinely ask €1.2M and above for equivalent length and performance. Viewing strongly recommended.
WHY THIS BOAT, NOW
Cantiere Navale Diano no longer exists as a production yard. The Diano 26 was built in very limited numbers. Finding one with a comprehensive 2023 refit, VAT paid, in Greece, ready to use — is not a situation that repeats itself. Buyers in the 25–27m Italian motor yacht market who miss this will be looking at GRP production vessels at significantly higher prices.
PERFORMANCE & NAVAL ARCHITECTURE
Naval architect — Mario Diano — builder's own design, Hull No. C 22
Hull — Mahogany construction with teak decks — the traditional Italian method that produces exceptional hull rigidity and longevity
Engines — Twin Caterpillar 3412 diesel, 1,300 hp each — among the most proven and globally supported powerplants ever fitted to a yacht this size
Cruising speed — 21 knots — comfortable passage-making pace
Maximum speed — 28 knots — meaningful reserve performance for weather routing
Range — approx. 600 nm at cruise from ~8,000 L fuel capacity
Draft — 2.7 m — well suited to island cruising and anchorages
