1993 marchi spa 65, EUR 280,000

MARCHI SPA 65 - ITALIAN LONG-RANGE CRUISING AT ITS BEST

Built by the Italian yard Marchi SPA and launched in 1993, this 20-metre motor yacht belongs to a generation of boats designed for distance: generous volumes, genuine sea-keeping and outstanding range. A true owner's boat for extended cruising with family or friends, offered at €280,000 VAT paid.

Build and sea-keeping

GRP hull, 20 m overall with a 5.50 m beam and only 1.50 m of draft. The 30-tonne displacement delivers a sure-footed, reassuring motion in a seaway, while the shallow draft opens up sheltered anchorages. Decks are teak-laid, with bathing platform and ladder, hydraulic passerelle and davits for the tender.

Power and range

Propulsion comes from a MAN D2840LE404 rated 850 hp on shaft drive, fitted in 2005 and showing 850 hours. Cruising speed is 13 knots at 163 l/h, with 5,000 litres of fuel and 1,000 litres of fresh water aboard - ample for very long passages. Bow and stern thrusters, trim tabs and an electric windlass make handling straightforward. Below, 3 cabins and 8 berths, a full galley and a genuinely domestic level of equipment.

An opportunity worth taking

Few yachts of this size combine such range with a relatively recent engine showing so few hours. A solid platform for an immediate long-range cruising programme.
