CHEETAH MOON

CHEETAH MOON is a 38.60-metre steel displacement motor yacht built by Cantieri Navali Nicolini in 1986 and refitted in 2019, with a contemporary interior redesign by H2 Yacht Design. She accommodates up to 10 guests across 5 cabins and is crewed by 8. Twin Caterpillar engines provide a cruising speed of 13.1 knots and a maximum of 16 knots with a range of 3,455 nautical miles, supported by 54,500 litres of fuel. Her steel hull and full-displacement form give her a seakeeping character suited to open-water passages as well as sheltered coastal cruising.

CHEETAH MOON is available for yacht charter in the western Mediterranean, concentrating on the French Riviera, Corsica, Sardinia, Ibiza, the Balearics, and Monaco, with access to ports including Portofino, St Tropez, and Cannes. Her range and hull type suit guests who want to cross between the French coast, the Italian islands, and the Spanish Balearics without concern for sea conditions. She is not well suited to clients seeking a recently built vessel, a full suite of onboard wellness facilities, or a large entertaining group of more than ten guests.

A vessel of this age is defined by its maintenance history more than its year of build. The 2019 refit by H2 Yacht Design — a studio known for considered, liveable interiors — represents a substantive update that brings the guest accommodation and public spaces to a standard appropriate for charter use. Onboard amenities include a deck jacuzzi, at-anchor and underway stabilisers, and Wi-Fi connectivity. The inventory is deliberately focused rather than extensive.

The water sports programme aboard CHEETAH MOON is oriented toward guests who prefer purposeful activities: two single-seat kayaks, a stand-up paddleboard, water skis, a doughnut, full scuba diving equipment for two divers with an onboard compressor, snorkelling gear, and fishing equipment. The presence of a dive compressor and dual scuba sets makes her a practical choice for guests who intend to dive regularly during their charter, particularly in the rocky, clear-water areas of Corsica and the Balearics where underwater visibility is consistently good.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
