PHOENICIAN

PHOENICIAN is a custom 34.11-metre GRP planing motor yacht built by Italyachts in 2013, with exterior design by Andrea Bacigalupo and interiors by Cristiano Gatto Design. Her defining characteristic is performance: a maximum speed of 45 knots positions her among the faster vessels in the charter market at this length, making her a notable choice for guests who place speed and agility at the centre of their itinerary.

Accommodating up to 10 guests across five cabins with a crew of five, PHOENICIAN offers a practical guest capacity with lean crewing suited to her performance-oriented character. Her charter regions cover the western Mediterranean — France, the French Riviera, Monaco, Italy, Sardinia, and Corsica — territories well suited to a fast, short-passage yacht where covering ground between ports is part of the experience. Guests seeking long-range ocean capability, extensive interior social spaces, or a large crew footprint will find her design priorities lie elsewhere.

The combination of an Andrea Bacigalupo exterior and Cristiano Gatto interiors gives PHOENICIAN a coherent Italian aesthetic — sharp, contemporary, and proportioned for speed. Her GRP planing hull is engineered for performance rather than displacement sea-keeping, and the 27-knot cruise speed means she reaches anchorages and ports with efficiency that larger, heavier vessels cannot match. Italyachts' custom builds are characterised by their attention to structural detail within a performance framework.

The onboard experience is deliberately streamlined. Cayago F7 Seabobs, a high-powered jet-ski, water-skiing equipment, snorkelling gear, and towable inflatables provide water-based activity, and the overall emphasis is on active, fast-paced charter yacht use rather than stationary resort-style living. Air conditioning and Wi-Fi provide the baseline connectivity and comfort expected at this level.

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