PENELOPE | 2005

Best for: groups of up to twelve wanting a high-service motor yacht experience in southern Italy, with multi-generational families a close second.

PENELOPE is a 48-metre motor yacht built by International Shipyard Ancona in 2005, based in Naples and crewed by nine professionals. The standout is the full-beam owner's cabin on the main deck, which comes with two ensuite bathrooms (one with a shower, one with a bath) and a separate office zone. Below, five further cabins accommodate twelve guests across two double cabins, two twin cabins, and a VIP cabin forward, each with its own ensuite.

A nine-strong crew that includes a captain with an extensive competitive sailing background, a first officer holding RYA Yachtmaster Offshore certification, and a chief engineer with deep operational experience means the boat runs with real professional depth. On the water, two Seadoos, two Wave Runners, waterskiing, wakeboarding, SUPs, inflatables, and an ocean pool keep a full group occupied. Two tenders handle transfers and day trips along the Campanian coast with ease.
