The 30.2 metre Benetti motor yacht Rutli E, listed for sale by Conrad Vanderlely at Italian Yacht Group,has been sold in an in-house deal.

Built in GRP by Italian yard Benetti to a design by Stefano Righini, she was delivered in 2006 as one of the yard's tri-deck Tradition series. She features a luxurious interior by Francois Zuretti and Versace in black, cream and metallic hues with large windows emphasizing the sense of space throughout. Accommodation is for eight guests in a full width master suite, VIP suite and two twin cabins, all with full en suite facilities.

On the upper deck, there is more seating, sun pads, a bar and a grill, shaded by a Bimini top.

In July 2011 she had a major refit in which the previous owner invested over €500,000, which also saw her equipped with new Naiad zero-speed stabilisers.

Twin 1,000hp Caterpillar engines give her a cruising speed of 14 knots and a range of 2,100 nautical miles at 10 knots.

Rutli E was asking $2,799,000.
