The 31-metre motor yacht Estel is newly listed for sale with Ian Sherwood of Burgess.
Built of composite GRP to Bureau Veritas class in Italy, Estel was delivered in 2005 by Cantiere Navale Arno, now Leopard Yachts. Her naval architecture and interior design are by Overmarine, with Andrea Bacigalupo having designed the exterior. The yacht also benefitted from a "full machinery refit" in 2021.
She is designed to sleep a party of up to nine in four cabins, all on the lower deck. The owner’s cabin amidships is full beam, as is the VIP double suite in the bow. Another double cabin and a twin – with an additional Pullman berth – complete the guest accommodation. There are quarters for four crew.
Sliding glass doors open from the main deck aft into the long saloon. Forward is a sit-up bar beneath four skylights and ahead of that is the bridge with three helm seats. Walkaround side decks lead to the foredeck where a large sunpad entices guests to relax or look ahead to the next destination. Another "multi-person" sunpad is located at the stern, aft of the al fresco dining table, for spectacular views looking outwards. At anchor, large parasols can be raised to shade the area while lounging.
Three 1,800hp MTU diesel engines with triple waterjet diesel propulsion give the yacht for sale an exhilarating top speed of 40 knots and an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots. Commercially operated, Estel has built up a good charter record.
Lying in Cannes, France, Estel is asking €1,750,000.
