La Bella Vita - Ferretti Yachts FOR SALE

LA BELLA VITA has benefited from steady care and thoughtful upgrades, with notable enhancements carried out in recent years. An all-encompassing 2021–2022 refit brought a complete Garmin navigation suite, an entirely refreshed interior, and a reconstructed galley. Subsequent upgrades add Starlink connectivity, in-duct air sanitization, plus ongoing mechanical and cosmetic work that keep this luxury motor yacht turnkey.

Among her signature attributes is the clever aft beach club. With a single touch, the transom drops and the garage unfolds to reveal a private waterside lounge onboard complete with flat-screen TV, refrigerator, ice maker, seating, and dramatic underwater illumination. It’s a hallmark more often seen on much newer, larger yachts, elevating both day-boat practicality and the overall superyacht experience.

Sleeping arrangements comprise four staterooms for up to eight, highlighted by a full-beam owner’s suite with dual en-suite baths, a forward VIP, and two symmetrical guest cabins. Dedicated crew accommodations comfortably sleep three.

Driven by twin MTU 16V2000 diesels, LA BELLA VITA achieves a maximum speed of 28 knots and settles into an effortless 12.5-knot cruise. Twin 23kW Kohler generators and a SeaKeeper 26 gyro stabilizer deliver robust onboard systems and enhanced comfort both underway and at anchor.

This yacht is offered only because her owners are stepping up to a larger vessel, creating a rare chance to secure a meticulously maintained, modernized cruising yacht that is prepared for immediate enjoyment.

Refit & upgrades - 2021-2026

From 2021 through 2022, the yacht underwent a comprehensive refit that began with a full Garmin electronics package installed throughout the pilothouse and flybridge. The interior was completely renewed with new flooring, headliners, cabinetry, soft goods, and window treatments, while the galley was rebuilt with all‑new appliances, countertops, and flooring. Comfort on deck was elevated with new cushions and canvas covers across the flybridge, aft deck, and foredeck, complemented by a new Bimini top with a three‑sided enclosure. The former flybridge stairway was professionally closed in and transformed into a custom bar featuring an ice maker, wine cooler, and coffee maker, and a versatile cabana room was added in the aft garage with a TV, refrigerator, ice maker, sofa, and seating at water level. Performance and reliability were further enhanced with servicing of the hull and running gear—including props, shafts, bottom paint, and zincs—along with new underwater lighting, a new Sea-R.O. water maker delivering 48 gph, new hot water heaters, and a new hydraulic steering pump.

In 2023, the upgrades continued with two new Aqua Air A/C chillers and refreshed headliners and Roman blinds in the VIP and guest staterooms. Electrical capacity was bolstered with new house batteries comprising ten Lifeline GPL-4DA and six GPL-4DL units. The A/C ducting was professionally cleaned, and Dometic Breathe Easy UV in‑duct air purifiers were installed to elevate onboard air quality.

In 2026, a new custom mattress was fitted in the master stateroom in April, while bottom paint and zincs were refreshed in March and April. A Direct TV Stream Anchor system was installed with Starlink internet in April, both life rafts were recertified the same month, and the fire suppression systems were recertified in March.

Layout & accommodations

Step aboard at the transom and discover the yacht’s signature flourish: a hydraulic transom that lowers to reveal the Cabana, a private beach club at swim platform level complete with a large-screen TV, refrigerator, ice maker, stereo, sofa, and chairs, while underwater lighting extends the ambiance well into the evening. Teak tread steps rise port and starboard to the aft deck, where a dining table seats up to eight before a forward-facing bench, accompanied by a mounted TV and effortless walkaround access to both amidship doors and the foredeck beyond.

Large sliding glass and stainless doors invite you from the aft deck into the salon, arranged with an L-shaped sofa and ottoman to port and a bar and entertainment console to starboard featuring an under-counter refrigerator, wine storage, and a large-screen TV on a lift. Faux wood flooring flows seamlessly through the salon into the forward galley, which was rebuilt top to bottom during the 2021–2022 refit. A round dining table seats six on the centerline, and the former stairway to the flybridge has been closed in and transformed into a custom bar with its own ice maker, wine cooler, and coffee maker. Two steps up from the galley lead to the pilothouse, appointed with a full electronics suite, a dedicated helm, and a dinette that converts to a single berth.

Below, a stairwell just aft of the galley descends to the stateroom hallway. The full-beam master lies amidship with a king berth and dual en-suite heads; forward of it, two mirrored guest staterooms each provide twin berths and their own en-suite; and the VIP forward presents a centerline queen with an en-suite head. Aft and fully separate, the crew quarters accommodate three with their own head and laundry, ensuring crew movement remains entirely outside the guest spaces.

Above, the flybridge is reached via teak steps from the aft deck, where a Balboa Jacuzzi, dual grills, a dinette, and a full secondary helm station make it as much a second living space as a commanding vantage. Forward, the foredeck offers a sun pad, twin anchor windlasses, and walkaround access from either side deck, creating a quiet, private retreat well removed from the lively entertaining areas aft.

Salon

Bathed in soft LED overhead lighting, all fitted new in 2022, the salon welcomes with an elegant custom headliner also renewed in 2022 and an inviting L-shaped sofa with generous under-seat storage, complemented by a custom ottoman with additional storage and an upholstered chair, each newly installed in 2022. Entertainment is effortless with a large-screen TV on a lift, new in 2022, and the rich, room-filling sound of five Bose speakers. A circular frosted glass dining table with a “Lazy Susan” insert, new in 2022, comfortably seats six, while dedicated storage keeps crockery, flatware, and glassware perfectly organized.

A custom bar area, crafted in 2022, showcases a Jura gourmet coffee machine with thoughtful glass and cup stowage alongside an Isotherm refrigerator, a Zephyr wine cooler new in 2022, and a U-Line ice maker also new in 2022. For privacy and ambiance, Hunter-Douglas electric shades to port and starboard, new in 2022, glide at a touch.

Galley

Completely rebuilt top to bottom during the 2022 refit, the galley presents all-new appliances, countertops, and flooring in a clean, contemporary palette. A Panasonic stainless microwave oven, a Miele four-burner stovetop, and a KitchenAid stainless oven—each installed new in 2022—anchor the culinary setup, while a Bosch exhaust fan positioned over the cooktop, also new in 2022, ensures proper ventilation. Cold storage is generous with a Bosch stainless side-by-side refrigerator/freezer featuring a pull-out drawer and freezer compartment, new in 2022. Preparation and cleanup are effortless at the large-capacity stainless sink, complemented by white countertops with tile accents, both updated in 2022. Smart stowage solutions include a pull-out pantry compartment and ample cabinet and drawer storage, and movement around the yacht is seamless with direct access to the port side deck, a forward pocket door to the pilothouse, and an aft door to the salon.

Pilothouse

Commanding views meet fingertip control in the pilothouse, where a full Garmin electronics suite, new 2022, anchors the helm with three 12-inch GPSMAP 1243 touch-screen displays, integrated autopilot, and a GPS NMEA 2000 antenna. Starlink internet delivers ship-wide connectivity from the primary helm, while an ICOM M-506 VHF with Command Mic repeater, new 2022, ensures clear communications. Precision handling is assured by SeaKeeper Zero Speed gyro stabilizer control, ABT bow thruster toggle controls, responsive trim tab controls, and a Ferretti ship system monitor, with safety underscored by the Fireboy engine shutdown system. A padded dash console faced in black Lexan with a compass fronts the helm chair with hydraulic controls, and Jabsco spotlight control adds confidence for night passages. For comfort underway or at anchor, a U-shaped dinette wraps a teak-trimmed table with a burlwood inset, new 2022, that converts to a single berth, with a digital safe discreetly mounted beneath the seating. Entertainment and productivity are elevated by a wall-mounted TV/computer monitor, new 2022, and a color printer/copier/scanner, new 2022, while an exterior black mesh window cover tempers glare and heat to keep the space cool and composed.

Master stateroom

The master stateroom centers on a king berth facing to port, with hull windows framing serene, water-level views. An en-suite head elevates comfort with an oversized shower featuring dual rainfall showerheads and two hand-held nozzles, complemented by waterline windows with a privacy screen. A refined vanity area presents dual sinks, a mirror, and dedicated storage, while a spacious closet provides ample drawer and storage space. A welcoming lounge area with a desk and chair invites quiet moments or focused work, and entertainment is assured with a large flat-screen TV and a Bose stereo system.

VIP stateroom

The VIP stateroom centers around a queen berth positioned on the centerline with storage beneath, complemented by a closet and storage drawers and brightened by an overhead hatch that invites natural light and fresh air. Private comforts include an en-suite head with shower, while entertainment is provided by a flat-screen TV and a Bose stereo system.

Guest staterooms

Forward of the master, a pair of mirrored guest staterooms is arranged to port and starboard, each appointed with twin side-by-side berths, while the starboard cabin can add an optional Pullman berth to accommodate a third guest. Every stateroom features its own en-suite head with shower, a flat-screen TV, and a Bose stereo system, complemented by ample storage drawers and a nightstand to keep personal items neatly organized.

Crew quarters

Thoughtfully separated aft are two cabins accommodating three crew, completely isolated from and inaccessible to guest areas. The captain enjoys a private cabin with a single berth, while the crew bunk room offers over-under single berths, all served by a shared head with shower. Practicality meets premium equipment with a Miele stacked washer/dryer, and abundant storage drawers are integrated throughout.

Flybridge

A genuine second living space as much as a command station, the flybridge is centered on a Jacuzzi with a hard cover and cleverly concealed perimeter storage, flanked by dual grills—an electric unit built into the cabinetry and a freestanding Weber propane—while a custom sun pad forward on the starboard side, formerly a companionway professionally closed in, invites indulgent lounging. A Besenzoni electric/hydraulic davit handles the RIB tender with ease, and a full secondary helm keeps every system on the boat within reach without ever leaving the party. At the helm, two Garmin 16" GPSMAP 8616 touch screens with radar/depth/speed/TV—new 2022—interface seamlessly with a Garmin 604xHD long-range radar, GSD 26 sonar, AIS 800 Blackbox, and autopilot—new 2022. Communication is assured by two ICOM M506 VHF radios with Command Mic IV handsets, including one repeater, while three Garmin IP cameras—transom/tender view and engine room port and starboard—new 2022—extend visibility. Precision control comes via MTU gear/throttle controls, ABT Trac bow thruster controls, and trim tab controls, complemented by an electric up/down electronics console and main engine RPM/temp gauges, plus Jabsco spotlight control, an air horn, and arch lighting.

Entertainment and comfort are curated by a Fusion MS-RA770 touch-screen stereo with Sirius XM—new 2022—driving two JL Audio speakers and two subwoofers through a 5-channel marine amp, zoned with four control panels. A DirecTV Stream Anchor system with Starlink internet—serving all TVs—arrived new in April 2026, and a 50" Fision outdoor TV on a custom stainless bracket—new 2022—elevates open-air movie nights. Shade and shelter come from a Bimini top with a three-sided enclosure—new 2022—while a U-shaped dinette with a new table, cushions, and storage—new 2022—creates a convivial gathering hub. A hatch with teak steps leads gracefully down to the aft deck, maintaining an effortless flow between social zones.

Engine room & systems

The engine room showcases uncompromising engineering, with twin MTU 16V2000 diesel engines, model R160-7MI-L, replaced under MTU warranty in 2011, delivering authoritative thrust through ZF Direct Drive transmissions, model 255A, with a 2.536:1 ratio. Command is seamless via triple-station MTU electronic throttle and gear controls positioned in the pilothouse, on the flybridge, and on the aft deck.

Electrical power is equally robust, with two Kohler 23kW diesel generators, model 23EOZD, housed in sound shields, feeding 12/24V DC and 120/240V AC 60Hz systems. Shore power arrives through two 100-amp cords on Glendinning Cable Master reels at the aft port transom, backed by two Acme shore power transformers with a boost feature and two Gail Safe Max galvanic isolators. The house battery bank was renewed in 2022 with 10 Lifeline GPL-4DA and 6 GPL-4DL batteries.

Ride comfort and control are elevated by a SeaKeeper Model 26 zero-speed gyro stabilizer, power hydraulic steering with a new pump in 2022, and an ABT bow thruster.

Long-range autonomy comes from a Sea-R.O. water maker rated at 48 gph and installed new in 2022, while onboard amenities are supported by six Tecma 24V electric heads and two hot water tanks. Fuel integrity is ensured by four Separ 2000/10 UMS fuel/water separators with secondary bowls.

Deck, hull & safety

Purpose-built for effortless anchoring and elegant shoreside arrivals, the foredeck carries twin 50kg Bruce-type anchors led through a dual stainless anchor chute with bow rollers, each riding galvanized chain—port 225', starboard 325'—with color-coded markings at 50'/100'/150'/200'/300' for precise scope control. Two Lofrans 24V windlasses with wildcats and capstan drums handle the ground tackle on the foredeck, while two Lofrans 24V snubbing winches on the aft deck (port and starboard) provide confident line handling. A fresh water anchor washdown keeps gear ready for the next drop. Boarding and bathing are refined and effortless thanks to a Besenzoni hydraulic passerelle at the starboard transom and a hydraulic swim ladder on the port platform, complemented by a Besenzoni 600kg electric/hydraulic davit for tender and toy management. Practicalities are well considered with two boarding gates, boarding steps, fenders, and mooring lines, and the yacht is accented by underwater lighting — new 2021.

Safety systems are comprehensive and up to date, beginning with two Datrex 8-person Sea Safe life rafts recertified in April 2026, supported by 20 USCG life jackets and 2 USCG Type IV throwable devices, plus 9 fire extinguishers and an Ocean Signal Class-2 EPIRB. Fire Boy clean agent HFC-227 suppression safeguards critical spaces, with 2 units in the engine room and 1 in the generator space, recertified in March 2026, while a Sea Fire FM-200 extinguisher system protects the electrical panel in the crew companionway. Bilge management features 24V submersible pumps throughout augmented by a dedicated Gianneschi manifold pump, with audible and visual high-water bilge alarms for added assurance, crash suction valves on the main engine raw water pickups, and USCG-approved navigation lights for compliant operation in all conditions.
