The classic 24.4 metre canoe-stern Lavagna motor yacht Black Pepper has been sold in-house, with Jaap Havenga at Northrop & Johnson representing the buyer and seller.
Constructed in steel by Italian yard Lavagna, Black Pepper was delivered in 1975 and enjoyed a €800,000 refit in 2016. Accommodation is for nine guests in four cabins including a master suite, VIP suite, a double and a twin with a Pullman berth. All cabins feature entertainment centres, Samsung television screens and en suite bathrooms, while there are crew quarters for up to four members.
Her glossy interior features cherry wood panelling and oak flooring, while Benetti oversaw the naval architecture.
The main saloon maintains its classic style by blending the original fitted joinery and features modern sofas and a centrepiece glass and bronze coffee table. Light is provided by a combination of traditional lighting, modern soft LED overheads and large windows on either side. Forward is a formal dining room with an extendable walnut table comfortably seating eight guests.
Moving outside, guests are treated to a vast sun deck with loungers and sun pads, with al fresco dining aft.
Twin 525hp Detroit Diesel engines give her a range of 1,900 nautical miles at her cruising speed of 11 knots.
Black Pepper was asking €850,000.
