CIAO L - SACS MARINE FOR SALE

At 17 m (55 ft), the Rebel 55 is presented in superb condition and benefits from numerous upgrades. Conceived by Christian Grande as the flagship of SACS’s Rebel line, she combines athletic poise with refined, practical luxury befitting a premium motor yacht.

Powered by twin 725 hp Volvo Penta IPS engines and a deep‑V hull, this luxury performance RIB delivers confident seakeeping, a composed, quiet ride, and top speeds of approximately 37 knots—true sport yacht credentials.

Equally suited as a day cruiser or for extended weekends, this elegant express cruiser is built for entertaining: a vast open‑air cockpit with central galley bar, expansive sunpads, sociable seating, and safe walkaround decks. Below, two generous double cabins with en‑suite facilities are finished to a high specification. Ideal as a stylish chase boat or superyacht tender, she epitomizes the modern walkaround lifestyle.

Main specification

With a LOA of 17 m (55’9”) and a generous 5.28 m (17’4”) beam, this Deep V composite yacht is finished in a custom Grey RAL 7035 gelcoat and certified to CE Category A, welcoming up to 22 people with confidence. Keel draft at the propeller is a shallow 0.83 m (2’9”), while the weight with standard engines stands at 22 t (manufacturer’s standard value). Propelled by 2 x Volvo D11 725 HP on IPS 950 Diesel, it surges to a top speed of 37 knots on a clean hull with light load and settles into a composed 30‑knot cruise, delivering a range at cruise of 280 nautical miles from fuel tanks totaling 2 x 1000 L. Guest accommodation is thoughtfully arranged with two beds in two cabins, sleeping four across one Master and one VIP, refined under the hand of Christian Grande Design Works. Shipboard autonomy is assured by a Diesel Power Generator Onan 9.5 KW with a dedicated battery, completing a specification that balances purpose with unmistakable elegance.

Tank capacities

Long days on the water are sustained by a fresh water capacity of 400 L (105 US Gal) and a waste tank of 200 L (52.8 US Gal), balancing comfort with responsible endurance.

Ancillary equipment

Comfort and control are elevated by a gyro stabiliser and the reassuring assistance of a bow thruster. Climate is mastered by hot/cold reversible air conditioning with a tropical upgrade of 45K BTU, while extended independence comes from a water maker producing 130 L/h.

Electrical equipment

Connectivity and ambience are meticulously curated: a 1 x 63A shore power connection with cable feeds the systems, European sockets are fitted throughout the interior, and both interior and exterior LED lighting set the mood with dimmers in the saloon, cockpit, and cabins. Electric blinds and curtains grace the main deck and guest cabins, underwater illumination is provided by Lumishore white, and the hideaway sliding aft saloon door pairs black‑painted aluminium with crystal for a dramatic flourish. A special high‑power exterior audio system brings the soundtrack to life, while Miele white goods—including a combi oven, ice maker, and dishwasher—serve daily luxury.

Deck and exterior

From the hardtop with a tempered glass windshield and integrated electric awning to the teak‑laid hydraulic platform with an integrated ladder, every exterior line invites open‑air living. The deck can be specified with side openings, while anti‑collision foam‑filled D‑shape profiles add reassuring protection. Mooring is confident with six mooring cleats—two at the bow, two at the stern, two midway—supported by an anchor windlass with dual control at the bow and helm plus a chain washing system. The Ultra Marine polished stainless steel anchor of 21 kg is matched to a 100 m stainless steel chain of 12 mm diameter, and stern mooring winches rated at 1000 W stand ready. A disappearing bow shower with hot/cold mixer awaits after sun, as does the bow sunbed with a triple chaise lounge, headrests, and rails. Safe movement is assured by a full walkaround with stainless steel handrails; boarding is effortless via a hydraulic gangway, and tender operations are simplified with a slider launch system. A removable carbon flagpole provides a final flourish, while tailored covers protect the bow and stern sundecks, the kitchen, and the helm seats.

Helm station

The helm is a command center of clarity and control, beginning with a height‑adjustable electric helm seat and a trio of Raymarine Glass Bridge 16‑inch screens. Navigation is enriched by Raymarine AIS, fish finder, and radar, while a FLIR M232 infrared night vision camera expands awareness alongside a stern surveillance camera and day/night engine room cameras. A compass, Isotta steering wheel, and Volvo Penta joystick deliver intuitive handling, complemented by a Volvo Glass 7‑inch engine monitor in the cockpit. A digital control panel with vandal‑proof switches, navigation lights with a dedicated red night light, and thoughtful touches such as a USB charging point, chart table, and dashboard cover round out the suite.

Cockpit

The cockpit is conceived as a social terrace, centred on a bar with sink, a Corian worktop, and ample drawers and cupboards. A 90 L drawer fridge and a dedicated cabinet for dishes and cutlery keep service effortless, while twin teak dining tables glide electrically to the perfect height opposite a double sofa with integrated storage. A stern sunbed with headrest invites lingering afternoons, closed off by stainless steel cockpit gates, and a garage with hydraulic opening stands ready for gear and toys. Two disappearing cockpit showers with hot/cold mixers and a stainless steel swim ladder with teak steps complete a space designed for graceful living at the water’s edge.
