BLADE II - MMGI SHIPYARD FOR SALE

MMGI 44m BLADE II, a sleek aluminium luxury motor superyacht for sale, launched in 2009 and refreshed by refits in 2013, 2016 and 2025, accommodates 10 guests in five en-suite cabins, is fully stabilized, and is currently lying on the French Riviera.

Description

This full‑aluminium MMGI 44M superyacht, built in 2009 by Cantieri MMGI di Montfalcone and launched in 2010, embodies sleek, athletic poise with a semi‑displacement, fast hull expressly drawn for pace and presence. Its defining 1.60‑meter draft opens up shallow cruising grounds from Florida to the Bahamas, while a unique flush bow garage for a 7‑meter tender and a generous aft beach platform underscore its lifestyle focus. Fresh from a major multi‑million refit in 2024–2025, the yacht wears a new marine‑blue hull with a chrome finish and presents as an iconic, one‑of‑a‑kind design known worldwide. Teak‑laid decks crown the aluminium superstructure and hull; at 44.00 m LOA (144' 4") with an 8.00 m beam and 298 GT, she displaces 200,000 kg and is classed RINA Pleasure Yacht, originally built to MCA LY2 compliance. Flagged United Kingdom and lying in Antibes, South of France, she sits squarely at the intersection of Motor Yacht, Superyacht, Sport Yacht, and Flybridge categories, and was a nominee for World Yachts Trophies 2010 in “Innovation” and “Layout” (yachts up to 50 meters).

Naval architecture by Navirex underpins the performance envelope, while exterior lines by ALab Studio in collaboration with Dobroserdov Design deliver a profile that is both sculptural and unmistakable. The interior was completely reimagined during the latest refit by Riccardo Solari in a minimalist, Scandinavian‑inspired idiom—bright, open and serene—with 2.2‑meter ceiling heights amplifying the sense of volume. The main saloon’s floor‑to‑ceiling, unobstructed glazing grants exceptional sightlines and a striking connection to the sea, while the sundeck was renewed with a crafted wooden bar, a new dining table and new PAOLA LENTI furnishings. MINOTTI interior furniture enriches the tactile palette, and the main deck has been carefully planned to be wheelchair‑friendly for smooth, dignified circulation on board.

Accommodation welcomes 10 guests in five sumptuous en‑suite staterooms on the lower deck: a full‑beam Master suite with oversized windows, a double island bed, a lounging nook with two armchairs and a coffee table, a walk‑in dressing room, and a refined bathroom with twin designer lavabos, WC and bidet, plus separate tub and shower compartments; three double VIP suites each with closet and private bathroom; and one twin cabin with its own facilities. The main deck arranges a day head, the main saloon, a formal dining area, a pantry and the wheelhouse with effortless flow. Below, the crew enjoy a dedicated mess with dinette, a full laundry area and a fully equipped professional galley; eight crew are accommodated in four bunk‑bedded cabins, each with en‑suite facilities.

Underway, power comes from twin 1,925 Hp Caterpillar C32 Acert diesel engines driving DOEN waterjets through three ZF gearboxes, augmented by a central 4,320 Hp VERICOR TF 50 gas turbine booster. The result is exhilarating flexibility: a maximum speed of 27–30 knots with the turbine engaged at an indicative consumption of 1,250 l/h; up to 17 knots on diesels alone at about 550 l/h; and an economical cruise of 12 knots at roughly 360 l/h, with a maximum range of 1,000 nautical miles. Comfort is assured underway and at anchor by Dutch MATN zero‑speed fin stabilizers, complemented by an OYS MH 0400 bow thruster rated at 85 Hp (63 kW) and a twin DOEN steering system. Engine hours show 3,500 h on the main engines and 137 h on the booster (both Jan. 2026). Systems are specified for resilience: a VECO Tropical air‑conditioning plant with three large compressors and one mini‑compressor; CRAMM hydraulic power packs in the engine room and bow garage; double RACOR filtration for engines and generators; a DOLLINGER coalescer fuel purificator; an IDROMAR watermaker rated at 350 l/h; twin 200‑liter hot‑water boilers; a large GIANNESCHI bilge pump interlinked with the fire pump; a portable YANMAR emergency fire pump in the garage; fuel transfer via three pumps—one 380V, one 24V and one manual GIANNESCHI; HAMMAN grey/black water treatment; and an ATLAS air compressor up to 10 bar.

Her tankage is expedition‑capable: 26,630 l of fuel (7,035 US Gallons), 6,070 l of fresh water (1,603.5 US Gallons), 2,310 l of grey water (610 US Gallons), 2,250 l of black water (594.4 US Gallons) and a MARPOL‑compliant bilge capacity of 300 l (79.3 US Gallons).

Electrical architecture is equally robust, with a 380/400V AC three‑phase 50 Hz main power system, 220/240V AC single‑phase 50 Hz for smaller consumers, and 24V DC for lighting and alarms. Two 75 kW CATERPILLAR generators (2016) supply hotel loads, recording 3,451 h port and 3,481 h starboard (Jan. 2026). Battery banks include a 24V service bank of twelve batteries, 24V engine‑start banks of two batteries, 24V generator‑start banks of two batteries, a 24V turbine‑start bank of two batteries, a 24V emergency bank of four batteries and a 24V GMDSS emergency radio bank of four batteries. Charging is ensured by three MASTERVOLT units in the engine room and three on the bridge, while shore power arrives via a 125 Amp, 25‑meter inlet with reeling motor.

The fully paperless main‑deck bridge integrates two CAT engine ignition controls and a DOEN waterjet control with an advanced FURUNO suite: four interchangeable 27” multi‑function displays, two 18.5” FURUNO ECDIDS screens, and two 18.5” MAXSEA screens running TIMEZERO navigation software. Redundancy and precision continue with two FURUNO 0560 2023 GPS units, two trackball controllers, FURUNO RCU 915 and RCU 024, an AIRMAR wind instrument integrated to TIMEZERO, a SIMRAD AP70 AK2 autopilot, FURUNO BR 510 BNWAS, FURUNO FA‑170 AIS, MATN’s stabilizer digital control, a FURUNO 0575 2023 satellite compass with drift instrument, a PLATH & CASSENS magnetic compass and FURUNO NX 700 Navtex. Communications include port and starboard SAILOR 7224 VHFs with DSC and ICOM BC 222 handheld, rechargeable crew VHFs. The engine control room hosts a multifunction systems display and a BEIJER X2 Marine Automation turbine display; repeaters are fitted in the crew mess and the captain’s cabin. On the sundeck, an aft steering station enhances docking and close‑quarters maneuvers. CCTV is managed by a VIDEOMATRIX with seven digital cameras—two in the engine room, two along the side decks, one on the sundeck and two on the aft deck.

Entertainment and IT are curated for contemporary living: SAMSUNG TVs in all cabins, the saloon (on an up/down mechanism) and the crew mess; Apple TV and iPad controls throughout; a PROLICENT movie uploader; a BANG & OLUFSEN sound system in the main saloon with a DENON amplifier backbone; distributed interior speakers; waterproof exterior speakers on aft deck, foredeck and sundeck; a STARLINK satellite antenna for high‑bandwidth connectivity; a PEPWAVE Wi‑Fi router with two SIM cards; and an HP printer on the bridge.

The culinary domain centers on a professional main galley featuring a double stainless‑steel sink with mixer tap, a MIELE microwave, twin MIELE convection ovens, a MIELE induction hob with up to eight burners, a custom stainless‑steel extractor hood, six custom stainless‑steel interchangeable fridges/freezers, a MIELE dishwasher and a VITRIFRIGO icemaker. The laundry is equipped with two MIELE Professional washing machines and two MIELE Professional tumble dryers. A main‑deck pantry serves guest service with a SAGE coffee machine, a MIELE fridge and a MIELE dishwasher. On the sundeck, a service station provides a sink with mixer tap, a SCOTSMAN ice maker and a VITRIFRIGO fridge.

Deck equipment is comprehensive and yacht‑grade: twin MAXWELL 5000W hydraulic anchor windlasses, an electric rotating anchoring capstan, two galvanized stainless‑steel anchors of 190 kg and 220 kg with chains of 115 m and 125 m, and two MAXWELL 3500W electric mooring winches with both remote and foot controls. A CRAMM 2,800 kg crane works the foredeck garage, itself a hydraulically opening compartment in two sections. Aft, an OPACMARE Transformer platform/passarelle/swim ladder rated to 1,000 kg complements the aft‑deck beach platform, where four PAOLA LENTI designer chaise‑longues invite sunbathing. The sundeck adds a wooden bar, an L‑shaped sofa upholstered in PAOLA LENTI fabrics, an al‑fresco dining table for eight with PAOLA LENTI designer chairs, a sun awning on four aluminium poles, three PAOLA LENTI designer chaise‑longues and the aft steering station. At night, ten underwater lights—four on the stern and three on each side—sculpt a luminous wake.

Safety and security are specified to exacting standards: a fixed CO2 fire‑extinguishing system in the engine room, a seawater fire extinguisher in the garage, portable extinguishers and smoke/heat detection throughout, and a large GIANNESCHI fire‑fighting pump interconnected with the bilge system. Equipment includes twenty‑four life jackets, two life rafts rated for twenty persons each, four life rings, two fireman suits, two fireman axes, a galley fire blanket and a SAILOR 100 EPIRB distress beacon.

Completing the picture, the yacht carries a set of ten lateral fenders, a set of eight mooring ropes and two boat hooks. Watersports are assured with a CASTOLDI Jet 23’ tender powered by a YANMAR 315 Hp engine, a SEADOO Spark BRP jet‑ski model 2021, two SEABOBs Kayago F5 and F5S, and a full complement of snorkelling gear. In sum, this is a sleek, athletic and unmistakable aluminium superyacht—brighter, faster and more versatile than ever after her 2024–2025 renewal, with wheelchair‑friendly access and the rare option of diesel propulsion enhanced by a central gas‑turbine booster.
