Particular attention was given to the bridge, which was redesigned with outward-inclined windows inspired by those found aboard larger commercial ships, creating a commanding and highly distinctive wheelhouse.The accommodation layout was completely reconfigured to provide comfortable guest areas, a spacious saloon, separate dining room, fully equipped galley, dedicated laundry areaand an impressive owner's suite occupying a privileged position on the upper deck.Throughout the yacht, fine teak joinery, traditional detailing and carefully selected maritimeantiques create a timeless atmosphere that reflects her rich nautical heritage.A complete overhaul of the machinery spaces accompanied the conversion, allowing theyacht to retain her original MAN diesel engine while benefiting from modern onboard systems and equipment.RECENT MAINTENANCESAN GENNARO has benefited from continuous maintenance and upgrading throughout herownership.2024-Overhaul of Kort nozzle and propeller shaft-Sandblasting and restoration of bow anchor area-Anchor chain inspection2023-A/C evaporator replacement2022-Replacement of batteriesThe yacht presents in operational condition and is ready for her next owner to enjoy immediately.KEY FEATURES-Authentic 1964 Benetti Ocean-Going Tugboat-Conversion into Private Explorer Yacht by Maela Lenci (2005)-Commercial-Style Wheelhouse with 360° Visibility-Full-Beam Owner's suite on Upper Deck-Professional Galley & Dedicated Laundry Room-RINA 100-A-1.1 Pleasure Yacht Classification-Steel Hull / Aluminium Superstructure-Approx. 400 Tonnes Displacement-Accommodation for 7 Guests in 4 Cabins-Full Upper Deck Owner's Suite-Commercial-Style Wheelhouse-Original MAN 1,020 HP Slow-Speed Diesel Engine-Kort Nozzle Propulsion System-Approx. 4,300 NM Range at 10 Knots-Exceptional Upper Deck Entertaining Areas-Sun Deck Jacuzzi-VAT Paid
