2007 Custom 40M Motor Yacht for Sale in the Mediterranean
A rare opportunity to acquire a 40-metre, 406 GT custom motor yacht offering exceptional volume, six guest staterooms and extensive entertainment spaces at an acquisition level that creates significant potential for conversion and operation within the Dubai yacht charter market.
Built in 2007, this substantial four-level yacht combines a 40.00 m (131’3″) LOA with a registered beam of 7.85 m (25’9″) and 406.73 GT, providing considerably more usable interior and exterior space than many conventional yachts of similar length.
Currently located in the Mediterranean, the yacht represents an interesting proposition for an owner seeking a large private yacht as well as an investor considering relocation, refit and subsequent charter operation in Dubai.
High-Volume 40M Platform
The yacht’s principal advantage is space.
At 406.73 GT, she provides the volume required for large guest areas, substantial accommodation and commercial-style operational facilities while retaining manageable 40-metre dimensions.
Accommodation is provided for 13 guests across six staterooms, supported by separate accommodation for 10 crew in four cabins.
The layout includes a large owner’s suite, multiple guest suites, extensive saloon and entertainment areas and substantial exterior decks. A Jacuzzi, bars, alfresco dining and large open guest spaces make the yacht particularly well suited to social use and entertaining.
Potential Dubai Charter Investment
For an investor considering the Dubai market, the yacht provides a fundamentally different proposition from purchasing a newer production yacht at several times the acquisition cost.
Her 40-metre size, six-cabin accommodation, exceptionally high volume and large entertainment decks create a strong foundation for repositioning as a Dubai charter yacht.
Following relocation, cosmetic modernization and the necessary UAE survey, registration and commercial approvals, the yacht could potentially be positioned for private charters, corporate events, celebrations, hospitality and premium event periods.
The combination of large guest spaces and relatively straightforward machinery is particularly relevant for an operation where charter usability and revenue-generating space can be more important than maximum speed.
Any future passenger capacity or commercial charter operation would remain subject to the applicable UAE registration, survey, safety and operating approvals.
Machinery & Cruising
The yacht is powered by two MAN 12-cylinder diesel engines producing 800 HP each, coupled to ZF-2000 transmissions.
Rather than pursuing high-speed performance, the propulsion package is designed around displacement-style cruising, with a documented cruising speed of approximately 10 knots.
Fuel capacity is approximately 23,000 litres.
Electrical power is supplied by two Stamegna generator sets, powered by Perkins diesel engines and connected to Stamford generators, providing a stated combined output of 216 kVA.
Accommodation
The yacht offers an unusually substantial accommodation arrangement for a vessel at this acquisition level:
- 6 guest staterooms
- Accommodation for up to 13 guests
- Large owner’s suite
- Multiple en-suite guest cabins
- 4 crew cabins
- Accommodation for up to 10 crew
- Large main saloon
- Multiple guest entertainment areas
- Extensive storage and operational spaces
The generous beam and high internal volume are evident throughout the accommodation, with large cabins and considerably more space than typically found aboard performance-oriented yachts of comparable length.
Exterior Living & Entertainment
Large exterior decks are one of the yacht’s strongest attributes and particularly relevant to future charter operation.
The yacht provides extensive areas for lounging, dining and entertaining across multiple levels, including a large upper deck with Jacuzzi, bar and relaxation areas.
Additional exterior spaces provide opportunities for alfresco dining, sunbathing and larger social gatherings.
For a future Dubai refit, these areas also provide considerable scope for modernization through updated exterior furniture, lighting, upholstery and entertainment equipment without fundamentally changing the yacht’s existing layout.
Dive, Watersports & Tender Equipment
The yacht was designed with substantial diving and watersports capability.
The technical specification includes an 8.5-metre Dive Master RIB powered by twin 150 HP Mercury engines, with approximately 400 litres of additional fuel capacity, shower and capacity for up to 20 passengers.
A second 4.5-metre RIB with 25 HP outboard is also specified.
The diving installation includes standard-air compressors together with an ERC507H Nitrox compressor, air filtration and drying equipment, with Nitrox capability up to 40%.
Equipment included with the sale should be reconfirmed prior to purchase.

Rather than paying the premium attached to a recently built 40-metre yacht, this vessel offers an investor the opportunity to acquire an exceptionally spacious existing platform and create a yacht specifically tailored to the Dubai charter market.
