The 45.4-metre Niigata motor yacht Cklass Nautique has been listed for sale with Marco Fodale and Joaquin Genrich of Fraser.
Originally serving as a Japanese government fisheries training vessel named Lucas, the yacht was delivered in 1992 by Japanese shipyard Niigata before being converted into a yacht by Philippines-based naval architect Simon Jupe of HYS Shipyard in 2015. The Japanese yard is responsible for both the interior and exterior redesign of Cklass Nautique, which has had one owner since the rebuild and has never been chartered.
The broker noted how the yacht "blends the reliability of the original vessel with the innovation of a modern yacht." He continued: "HYS Naval Architect Simon Jupe describes this approach as retaining only the finest elements of the original hull and prime mover systems, with all other features crafted anew to the highest standards."
Accommodation on board is for up to 12 guests across five cabins, including a full-beam master suite on the upper deck which features a private hot tub and is accessible via an elevator that connects the lower and upper decks. Meanwhile, two double cabins and two twins are located on the main deck, which also features a cinema room, sit-up bar and saloon with dining and lounging space.
In terms of al fresco spaces, guests can make the most of dining and lounging space on the main deck.
Onboard highlights include a gym, spa, raised observation deck, and a helipad with a capacity of 1.5 tonnes. As a global explorer, the yacht is equipped with three tenders (two rubber dinghies and a fishing boat).
Powered by a Niigata 1,800 HP engine, the yacht for sale has top speed of 13 knots and range of 7,500 nautical miles at 10 knots.
Currently lying in Panama City, Cklass Nautique is asking $5,800,000.
